Story Generator
This skill generates complete graphic novel narratives about key contributors to science, mathematics, and technology, for intelligent textbooks built with MkDocs Material. Each story is a 12-panel graphic novel plus cover, designed to be inspirational, engaging, and historically accurate. Each panel includes a narrative paragraph below it and a detailed image-generation prompt in a collapsible <details> block.
As of the 2026-04 skill update, the skill can also automatically generate all 13 panel images (1 cover + 12 panels) natively at 16:9 (1344×768) via multiple text-to-image APIs including Google Gemini and OpenAI gpt-image-1. Current cost for high-quality images with accurate text placement is approximately $0.03 per image. See "Step 3.5: Generate Images" below.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- The user requests a new graphic novel story about a scientist, mathematician, engineer, or other historical figure
- Adding a story to a Stories / History section of any intelligent textbook
- Creating educational narrative content with embedded image prompts
- The user mentions "story", "graphic novel", or "narrative" about a historical figure
- The user says "give me some ideas for graphic-novel stories" — triggers the Story Ideas Generator workflow (see below)
Story Ideas Generator
When the user says "give me some ideas for graphic-novel stories", generate a curated list of 12-panel mini-graphic novel ideas tailored to the current textbook's subject matter. Save the result to docs/stories/story-ideas.md.
