Knowledge Comic Creator

Adapted from baoyu-comic for Hermes Agent's tool ecosystem.

Create original knowledge comics with flexible art style × tone combinations.

When to Use

Trigger this skill when the user asks to create a knowledge/educational comic, biography comic, tutorial comic, or uses terms like "知识漫画", "教育漫画", or "Logicomix-style". The user provides content (text, file path, URL, or topic) and optionally specifies art style, tone, layout, aspect ratio, or language.

Reference Images

Hermes' image_generate tool is prompt-only, it accepts a text prompt and an aspect ratio, and returns an image URL. It does NOT accept reference images. When the user supplies a reference image, use it to extract traits in text that get embedded in every page prompt:

Intake: Accept file paths when the user provides them (or pastes images in conversation).

• File path(s) → copy to refs/NN-ref-{slug}.{ext} alongside the comic output for provenance
• Pasted image with no path → ask the user for the path via clarify, or extract style traits verbally as a text fallback
• No reference → skip this section

Usage modes (per reference):

Usage	Effect
style	Extract style traits (line treatment, texture, mood) and append to every page's prompt body
palette	Extract hex colors and append to every page's prompt body
scene	Extract scene composition or subject notes and append to the relevant page(s)

Record in each page's prompt frontmatter when refs exist:

references:
  - ref_id: 01
    filename: 01-ref-scene.png
    usage: style
    traits: "muted earth tones, soft-edged ink wash, low-contrast backgrounds"
