comic-author — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited comic-author (Agent Skill) and scored it 91/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 1 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

The left third of Figure 1, as an agent-run workflow: a fuzzy idea → a comic.json + its locked asset library, so comic-director (Phase 2/3) bakes + adversarially verifies it. This skill is thin — it owns the ORDER, the BARRIERS, and the HAND-OFF; each step's real procedure lives in its own detailed skill.
End-to-end in one slash-command?movie-pipelineis the single entry that drives THIS skill (Phase 1) → thep0_proofgate →comic-director(Phase 2/3 bake) → viewer. comic-author is the Phase-1 half it calls; use it directly when you only want to author + lock thecomic.json. The contract boundary to Phase 2/3 is `comic.json` + the assets it references
(content-SVG blueprints, identity refs, ART_BIBLE.md).
How you "run" this — it is an AGENT workflow, not a shell CLI. You point your coding agent (Claude, Codex, …) at this skill; the agent FOLLOWS the steps below — authoring the wiki nodes and calling the few deterministic helper scripts that ARE real CLIs:comic-director/scripts/run_comic.py,cli/validate_wiki.py,comic-panel-prompt-builder/scripts/build_prompt.py. The `--gate <kind>` notations below are the agent PROCEDURE incomic-cross-layer-gate(fan out the cross-model reviewers → fuse → flipstatus) — not a binary youexec. This mirrors every ARIS skill: the SOP is the product, a coding agent is the runtime.
Two hard human gates (never auto-proceed): the intent and the outline are story decisions — the user must approve each before the next layer starts (the story-first rule; the gate is acceptance-gate). Everything downstream is agent-driven + cross-model gated.Dependencies are the node_schema source_* fields, not invented — each step consumes the prior locked node.
| # | Step → skill | Produces (locked node) | Gate (via comic-cross-layer-gate) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | comic-intent-parser | intent_spec | USER approves → --gate intent |
| 2 | comic-style-bible-lock | style_anchor×N + ART_BIBLE.md | style lock (design-aware) |
| 3 | comic-outline-creator | outline_spec (3-lens → synth) | USER approves → --gate outline |
| 4 | comic-storyboard-creator | storyboard_spec + panel_spec×N + motif_ledger + consolidated asset_requests | --gate storyboard |
| 5 | comic-asset-ref-generator | asset×N (single-source, from the requests) | — |
| 6 | comic-asset-review-loop | each asset → status: locked (准×3) | --gate asset · ASSET-LOCK BARRIER ↓ |
| 7 | comic-blueprint-author | blueprint×N (content-SVG, no baked bubbles) | --gate blueprint |
| 8 | comic-panel-prompt-builder | prompt_bundle×N (搬运工原則) | build asserts: literal / zero-text / ref-count |
| 9 | comic-json-compiler | comic.json (authored fields only) | --gate compile (run_comic --dry-run + validate_wiki) |
Two services woven across the pipeline (not sequential steps):
comic-cross-layer-gate — the ONE score-fuser every --gate <kind>above calls. Never invoked cold: each step first fans out its cross-model reviewers (writes review:* nodes + reviews edges), THEN calls the gate to fuse + flip status (locked on advance, rejected on a terminal fail; revise/regenerate/fallback are verdicts, never statuses). Reviewer routing: Codex gpt-5.5 xhigh ‖ (Gemini auto-gemini-3 when available) — a different model family from this Claude author, paths only.
comic-continuity-audit — authors the motif_ledger invariants instep 4 and runs as --gate continuity against that ledger (and at bake time inside the engine): DDL monotonic-down, bounce-single-max, metric-columns-disjoint, design-aware (absence ≠ drift).
storyboard before the user approves the outline.
asset a panel references must be status: lockedbefore blueprint authoring (step 7) starts. A blueprint/panel referencing a draft asset is a hard veto. (This is why the single-source asset library + 准×3 finish before any per-panel blueprint.) Ordering note for the storyboard gate: step 4 produces the storyboard_spec + the consolidated asset_requests, but --gate storyboard's panel_assets_referenceable dim (assets resolve AND are locked) is only satisfiable AFTER this barrier — so run the storyboard's STRUCTURAL pass at step 4, then its asset-resolution pass + the final locked flip once steps 5–6 have locked every requested asset (re-run --gate storyboard then).
comic-cross-layer-gate <comic_id> --gate p0_proof: a text-only cross-model adversarial review of the compiled comic.json + the pipeline machinery. It must clear blockers.length == 0 BEFORE a single metered codex image_gen credit is spent in Phase 2/3.
When comic.json validates, --gate compile passes, and --gate p0_proof is clean, Phase 1 is done. Then comic-director bakes + verifies:
python3 skills/comic-director/scripts/run_comic.py --project examples/<name> --page <P> --panels S01,S02 --dry-run--dry-run first (it prints concrete bake prompts + literals, no image_gen — also how this skill confirms Phase 1 is correct); then drop --dry-run to bake the audited spiral. After ship, optionally comic-blind-comparison-review runs a double-blind A/B vs a naive one-shot baseline to prove the pipeline earned its cost.

of each of the 10 author types (intent_spec → … → blueprint + prompt_bundle + motif_ledger + continuity_constraint) + the author-layer wiki/edges.jsonl + a real content_svg / identity .png / ART_BIBLE.md with STYLE_PREFIX. This is what you copy when authoring — python3 cli/validate_wiki.py examples/comic_min_author PASSES and build_prompt.py … panel:demo_s01 RUNS against it.
source of truth this pipeline produced: story/OUTLINE_DRAFT.md (3-lens → codex synth → user-approved) · story/STORYBOARD_DRAFT.md (page order + the MOTIF STATE TABLE) · ART_BIBLE.md · gen/ (the asset + blueprint generator scripts) · comic.json · wiki/ (the full runtime node/edge trace). The detailed layer→skill index is references/authored_source_of_truth.md; field mapping is references/comic_authoring.md. Your authoring agent can be any coding agent (e.g. the ARIS main project) — this skill is self-contained and does not depend on it at runtime.
acceptance-gate — each layer's gate can DRIVE but can't ACQUIT; theuser is the hard gate for intent + outline; a different model family (the gate's Codex adjudicator) acquits the rest.
artifact-integrity — the agent that authors a layer never judges itsown layer's correctness; the cross-layer gate (a different family) does.
reviewer-independence — every gate's reviewer gets file paths +an === EXTERNAL CONTEXT (advisory) === fence, never the author's interpretation.
reviewer-routing — Codex gpt-5.5 xhigh; Gemini auto-gemini-3when available; never downgrade the tier.
