3 use cases

  • Draw a 4 to 8 panel diary comic with a fixed character

    Use recurring-character-diary-comic to make a full-page diary comic of an authorized recurring character.

    View prompt
    Use the recurring-character-diary-comic skill from the craft-skills repo to make a 4 to 8 panel diary comic of the authorized character <character name and reference>, story: <story>. Return the full-page image and the layout you chose. Check that the dialogue matches the script word for word at both the original size and 25 percent.
  • Generate transparent PNGs with real alpha, not cut-outs

    Use native-transparent-imagegen to get PNG or WebP files that carry the model's own alpha channel.

    View prompt
    Use the native-transparent-imagegen skill from the craft-skills repo to generate a transparent PNG of <subject>. Keep the original file bytes and verify the alpha channel, fully transparent pixels, and transparent corners. If any check fails, report the failure instead of using a cut-out or color key.
  • Edit and generate Qwen-Image pictures from a reference

    Use qwen-image-gen to rewrite prompts, edit regions, keep one character across a series, and check the original file.

    View prompt
    Use the qwen-image-gen skill from the craft-skills repo to create three separate portraits of the person in <reference image>, one action each, using my existing Qwen connection. Return the three original image files and the rewritten prompt for each. Verify that each file keeps the same identity and the requested frame size.
