Verbatim cp -r install is clean and the trigger phrases are precise, but the advertised deliverable — a rendered comic (images + merged PDF) — is not producible out of the box: it hard-requires a raster image-generation backend (a runtime-native tool like Codex imagegen / Cursor GenerateImage, or the sibling baoyu-image-gen skill plus a paid provider API key such as OPENAI_API_KEY), plus the pdf-lib npm package for PDF export, none of which are bundled or installed by the copy. Testing was therefore scoped to the checkable artifact the skill emits right before that backend call: a one-page four-panel storyboard + four standalone image-generation prompts. In the A/B on that artifact, the skill's four-panel-preset scaffolding (strict 起承转合 arc, 2x2 positional panel labels, consistent caption-box specs, panel-3 accent-emphasis rule, chloroplast-vs-chlorophyll precision) produced modestly more consistent and directly reusable prompts than the base's competent but ad-hoc version — a real but incremental edge, not a leap.
Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works
- Installs cleanly 5/5
- Triggers reliably 5/5
- Output vs. baseline 6/10
- Docs & honesty 4/5
