   - Builds one H3 prompt block per beat, with quick controls for per-shot timing, continuity, ref behavior, anchor additions, soundscape, and music while staying compatible with direct text editing.
 
+- `Dumas H3 Prompt Curator`
+  - Inputs: `action_prompt`, `anatomy_guard`, `subject_count_guard`, optional `anchor`, optional `soundscape`, optional `ref_1` through `ref_9`
+  - Outputs: `prompt`, `ref_image_1` through `ref_image_9`, `reference_count`, `debug`
+  - Builds one standalone MiniMax H3 prompt from your final action text plus structured character/location references.
+  - The action text can mention references by character/location name, alias, `<Picture N>`, or `<refN>`. Only mentioned references are emitted, and the output images are compacted/renumbered so skipped inputs do not leave gaps.
+  - Adds curated reference context, anatomy guard text, optional subject-count guard text, anchor/style text, and `overall_soundscape:` text while respecting MiniMax H3's reference-generation shape: one prompt plus up to nine reference images.

+  - Outputs: `image1`, `image2`, `reference_prompt`, `wardrobe`, `reference1`, `reference2`
+  - Restores the original general-purpose helper shape while also emitting two structured `REFERENCE` objects for the prompt curator.
+  - The structured references carry the same character name, alias, age, height, gender, nationality, occupation, accent, wardrobe, and notes, so mentioning the character name in `Dumas H3 Prompt Curator` can include both helper images and the character facts automatically.

 `Dumas H3 Plan Attach Scene Images` and `Dumas H3 Plan Extract Scene Images` are a companion pair for `ComfyUI-MiniMaxH3-Contex-Loop` and the local `ref2v` lane. The upstream H3 plan node cannot dynamically grow nine new image sockets for every JSON-defined scene, so Dumas stores scene image bindings beside the plan using a lightweight token and an in-memory registry. That keeps `plan.json` archiving intact while still letting you wire up nine IMAGE sockets per scene through chained helper nodes.
 
-`Dumas Character Reference` and `Dumas Location Reference` live in `Dumas/MiniMax`. Both output a structured `REFERENCE` object that carries the image plus its semantic payload. `Dumas H3 Long Videos` accepts those `REFERENCE` sockets directly on `ref_1`..`ref_9`, resolves `<Picture N>` against the wired slot positions, and can also pull character wardrobe context from the structured ref data when `character_memory` is left blank.
+`Dumas Character Helper` is the restored two-image/text helper for general H3 workflows, and `Dumas Location Helper` mirrors it for scene/environment references. The structured `Dumas Character Reference` and `Dumas Location Reference` nodes remain available separately for workflows that want a single `REFERENCE` socket. `Dumas H3 Prompt Curator` consumes those structured references, assigns the final `<Picture N>` numbering, and outputs only the compacted images the prompt actually mentions.
 
 `Dumas Strip Iteration Suffix` keeps the part before the first underscore and drops the rest. Names like `char123_pose_final.png` become `char123.png`, while names with no underscore such as `char123.png` are left untouched.
