What it does

• Other runtime-native tools — if the runtime exposes a different native image tool (e.g., Hermes imagegenerate), use it the same way.
• Otherwise, if exactly one non-native backend is installed (e.g., baoyu-image-gen), use it.
• Otherwise (multiple non-native backends with no runtime-native tool), ask the user once — batch with any other initial questions.
• Honor workflow dependencies first: generate characters/characters.png before pages that use it as a reference.
• Never start the first page batch until all selected page prompt files exist on disk.
• Retry failed items once without regenerating successful items.
• Do not use subagents merely to parallelize image rendering. Use subagents only for separate prompt iteration or creative exploration.

Requirements & configuration

• When this skill needs to render an image, resolve the backend in this order:
• 7.2 Pages — each page's prompt MUST already be at prompts/NN-{cover|page}-[slug].md before invoking the backend; the file is the reproducibility record. Strategy depends on the character sheet:
