What it does
Give it a topic, a person, or a source document and it runs the whole pipeline: content analysis → storyboard with panel breakdown → character definitions plus a character reference sheet → per-page image prompts → rendered pages → merged PDF.
- 6 art styles: ligne-claire, manga, realistic, ink-brush, chalk, minimalist
- 7 tones: neutral, warm, dramatic, romantic, energetic, vintage, action
- 5 presets with extra rules: ohmsha, wuxia, shoujo, concept-story, four-panel
- Every prompt is written to
prompts/NN-page-*.mdfirst, so runs are reproducible and backends are swappable - The character sheet is passed as a reference image to keep recurring characters on-model; user-supplied refs can guide style or palette
- Partial runs (
--storyboard-only,--prompts-only,--images-only,--regenerate 3,5) and batched generation (default 4 pages at a time) - Explicit rule against patching text by painting over bitmaps — flawed pages are regenerated, not retouched
Who it's for
- Educators and course creators who want concepts explained as comics
- Bloggers and newsletter writers illustrating biographies, tutorials, or ideas
- Creators producing multi-part series that need consistent characters and style
Examples
- "Make a 12-page Logicomix-style comic about Alan Turing's life" → creates
comic/alan-turing-bio/with storyboard, character sheet, 12 pages, and a PDF - "Summarize this blog post as a four-panel strip --art minimalist --layout four-panel" → B&W with spot color, classic setup-turn-punchline structure
- "Page 5's expression is off — fix the prompt and --regenerate 5" → updates only that prompt file, re-renders the page, rebuilds the PDF

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the skills/baoyu-comic folder from the GitHub repo JimLiu/baoyu-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/baoyu-comic/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/JimLiu/baoyu-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r baoyu-skills/skills/baoyu-comic ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Open a terminal.
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/JimLiu/baoyu-skills.git - Install the skill:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r baoyu-skills/skills/baoyu-comic ~/.claude/skills/ - Make sure a runtime for the bundled scripts exists: run
bun --version; if missing, install withcurl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash, or rely onnpx -y bunif Node.js is present. - Provide one raster image backend — Codex's native
imagegen, Cursor'sGenerateImage, or thebaoyu-image-genskill from the same repo. Without one, the image steps will stop and ask you. - Restart Claude Code and try: "create a knowledge comic about Alan Turing".
- On the first run a blocking setup wizard asks for art style, tone, language, and image backend, then saves them to
~/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-comic/EXTEND.md; edit that file later to change defaults.
