## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# Knowledge Comic Creator

Adapted from [baoyu-comic](https://github.com/JimLiu/baoyu-skills) 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:

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