Jim Liu 宝玉 fe025425cb fix(skills): address baoyu-comic PR review
- Remove PDF merge feature and scripts/ directory (no pdf-lib dep)
- Correct image_generate docs: prompt-only, returns URL; add
  curl download step after every call
- Downgrade reference images to text-based trait extraction
  (style/palette/scene); character sheet is agent-facing reference
- Unify source file naming on source-{slug}.md across SKILL.md

# 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
