Partial Workflows

Options to run specific parts of the workflow. Trigger these via natural language (e.g., "just the storyboard", "regenerate page 3").

Options Summary

Option Steps Executed Output
Storyboard only 1-3 storyboard.md + characters/
Prompts only 1-5 + prompts/*.md
Images only 7-8 + images
Regenerate N 7 (partial) Specific page(s)

Storyboard-only

Generate storyboard and characters without prompts or images.

User cue: "storyboard only", "just the outline", "don't generate images yet".

Workflow: Steps 1-3 only (stop after storyboard + characters)

Output:

  • analysis.md
  • storyboard.md
  • characters/characters.md

Use case: Review and edit the storyboard before generating images. Useful for:

  • Getting feedback on the narrative structure
  • Making manual adjustments to panel layouts
  • Defining custom characters

Prompts-only

Generate storyboard, characters, and prompts without images.

User cue: "prompts only", "write the prompts but don't generate yet".

Workflow: Steps 1-5 (generate prompts, skip images)

Output:

  • analysis.md
  • storyboard.md
  • characters/characters.md
  • prompts/*.md

Use case: Review and edit prompts before image generation. Useful for:

  • Fine-tuning image generation prompts
  • Ensuring visual consistency before committing to generation
  • Making style adjustments at the prompt level

Images-only

Generate images from existing prompts (starts at Step 7).

User cue: "generate images from existing prompts", "run the images now" (pointing at an existing comic/topic-slug/ directory).

Workflow: Skip to Step 7, then 8

Prerequisites (must exist in directory):

  • prompts/ directory with page prompt files
  • storyboard.md with style information
  • characters/characters.md with character definitions

Output:

  • characters/characters.png (if not exists)
  • NN-{cover|page}-[slug].png images

Use case: Re-generate images after editing prompts. Useful for:

  • Recovering from failed image generation
  • Trying different image generation settings
  • Regenerating after manual prompt edits

Regenerate

Regenerate specific pages only.

User cue: "regenerate page 3", "redo pages 2, 5, 8", "regenerate the cover".

Workflow:

  1. Read existing prompts for specified pages
  2. Regenerate images only for those pages via image_generate
  3. Download each returned URL and overwrite the existing PNG

Prerequisites (must exist):

  • prompts/NN-{cover|page}-[slug].md for specified pages
  • characters/characters.md (for agent-side consistency checks, if it was used originally)

Output:

  • Regenerated NN-{cover|page}-[slug].png for specified pages

Use case: Fix specific pages without regenerating entire comic. Useful for:

  • Fixing a single problematic page
  • Iterating on specific visuals
  • Regenerating pages after prompt edits

Page numbering:

  • 0 = Cover page
  • 1-N = Content pages
