Target directory:

• With source path: [source-dir]/comic/
• Without source: comic-outputs/YYYY-MM-DD/[topic-slug]/

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Content

1. Read source content
2. Select style (from --style or auto-detect)
3. Select layout (from --layout or auto-detect per page)
4. Determine page count:
   • Short story: 5-8 pages
   • Medium complexity: 9-15 pages
   • Full biography: 16-25 pages

Step 2: Define Characters

Purpose: Establish visual consistency across all pages.

1. Extract all characters from content (protagonist, supporting, antagonist, narrator)
2. Create characters/characters.md with visual specs for each character
3. Generate characters/characters.png (character reference sheet)

Reference: references/character-template.md for detailed format and examples.

Step 3: Generate Outline

Create outline.md with:

• Metadata (title, style, layout, page count, character reference path)
• Cover design
• Each page: layout, panel breakdown, visual prompts

Reference: references/outline-template.md for detailed format.

Step 4: Generate Images

For each page (cover + pages):

1. Save prompt to prompts/XX-page.md
2. Call image generation skill with:
   • Base prompt: references/base-prompt.md
   • Character reference (text or image, depending on skill capability)
   • Page prompt
   • Output path

Image Generation Skill Selection:

• Check available image generation skills in the environment
• Adapt parameters based on skill capabilities:
  • If supports --promptfiles: pass prompt files
  • If supports reference image: pass characters/characters.png
  • If text-only: concatenate prompts into single text
• If multiple skills available, ask user preference

3. Report progress after each generation

Step 5: Completion Report

Comic Complete!

Style-Specific Guidelines

Ohmsha Style (--style ohmsha)

Additional requirements for educational manga:

• Default characters: Student (大雄), Mentor (哆啦A梦), Antagonist (胖虎)
• Custom: --characters "Student:小明,Mentor:教授"
• Must use visual metaphors (gadgets, action scenes) - NO talking heads
• Page titles: narrative style, not "Page X: Topic"

Reference: references/ohmsha-guide.md for detailed guidelines.
