Who it is forA comic creator with a recurring character they own or are authorized to use, who needs a consistent multi-panel diary page.

The problemKeeping one recurring character consistent across panels, with fixed direction and readable dialogue, is hard to do by prompt alone.

The outcomeA full-page diary comic of 4 to 8 panels, produced with a compared page layout and checked at full size and at 25 percent.

What you need first

  • git, to clone the repository
  • An agent that reads skills from the Codex skills directory (CODEX_HOME or ~/.codex/skills)
  • Image generation available to the agent for the image skills
  • An existing Qwen connection for qwen-image-gen
  • Python 3.10 or later, only if you run the release check

Steps

  1. git clone https://github.com/ZSeven-W/craft-skills.git
  2. cp -R craft-skills/skills/recurring-character-diary-comic "${CODEX_HOME:-$HOME/.codex}/skills/" (inferred, check the README)
  3. Install the eval dependencies if you want to run the skill's tests: python3 -m pip install -r evals/recurring-character-diary-comic/requirements.txt (inferred, check the README)
  4. Restart or reload your agent session, then give the agent your character reference and the diary story.

Prompt for your agent

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.

Caveat. The README limits this skill to existing characters you have authorization to use, so do not use it with characters you do not have rights to.
