# Prepare a Character Look

> look_draft_create: permissions and generated input/output contracts.

`look_draft_create` · Gateway release **0.8.3**

Create a reusable Look recipe from an exact Character version and up to three Artifacts with selected references. Choose sensible placement and styling defaults. Freezes versions separately from the Character Bible/voice; no rendering or shot changes. If a Production is supplied, uses its pinned Character and active use grant. Retry identical operationId.

Required scopes: `account:read`, `studio:write`. Changes saved state or requests work; review the operation’s effects.

Availability depends on runtime configuration and the permissions granted to this connection. Use live MCP discovery as the authority.
