16## Using `--storyboard-only`
17 
18Generate storyboard and characters without prompts or images:
19 
20```bash
21/baoyu-comic content.md --storyboard-only
22```
23 
24**Workflow**: Steps 1-3 only (stop after storyboard + characters)
25 
26**Output**:
27- `analysis.md`
28- `storyboard.md`
29- `characters/characters.md`
30 
31**Use case**: Review and edit the storyboard before generating images. Useful for:
32- Getting feedback on the narrative structure
33- Making manual adjustments to panel layouts
34- Defining custom characters
35

37 
38## Using `--prompts-only`
39 
40Generate storyboard, characters, and prompts without images:
41 
42```bash
43/baoyu-comic content.md --prompts-only
44```
45 
46**Workflow**: Steps 1-5 (generate prompts, skip images)
47 
48**Output**:
49- `analysis.md`
50- `storyboard.md`
51- `characters/characters.md`
52- `prompts/*.md`
53 
54**Use case**: Review and edit prompts before image generation. Useful for:
55- Fine-tuning image generation prompts
56- Ensuring visual consistency before committing to generation
57- Making style adjustments at the prompt level
58 
59---
60 
61## Using `--images-only`
62 
63Generate images from existing prompts (starts at Step 7):
64 
65```bash
66/baoyu-comic comic/topic-slug/ --images-only
67```
68 
69**Workflow**: Skip to Step 7, then 8-9
70 
71**Prerequisites** (must exist in directory):
72- `prompts/` directory with page prompt files
73- `storyboard.md` with style information
74- `characters/characters.md` with character definitions
75 
76**Output**:
77- `characters/characters.png` (if not exists)
78- `NN-{cover|page}-[slug].png` images
79- `{topic-slug}.pdf`
80 
81**Use case**: Re-generate images after editing prompts. Useful for:
82- Recovering from failed image generation
83- Trying different image generation settings
84- Regenerating after manual prompt edits
85 
86---
87 
88## Using `--regenerate`
89 
90Regenerate specific pages only:
91 
92```bash
93# Single page
94/baoyu-comic comic/topic-slug/ --regenerate 3
95 
96# Multiple pages
97/baoyu-comic comic/topic-slug/ --regenerate 2,5,8
98 
99# Cover page
100/baoyu-comic comic/topic-slug/ --regenerate 0
101```
102 
103**Workflow**:
1041. Read existing prompts for specified pages
1052. Regenerate images only for those pages
1063. Regenerate PDF
107 
108**Prerequisites** (must exist):
109- `prompts/NN-{cover|page}-[slug].md` for specified pages
110- `characters/characters.png` (for reference)
111 
112**Output**:
113- Regenerated `NN-{cover|page}-[slug].png` for specified pages
114- Updated `{topic-slug}.pdf`
115 
116**Use case**: Fix specific pages without regenerating entire comic. Useful for:
117- Fixing a single problematic page
118- Iterating on specific visuals
119- Regenerating pages after prompt edits
120 
121**Page numbering**:
122- `0` = Cover page
