baoyu-article-illustrator

Invoke the skill with the article path, optionally specifying a preset, type, style, or density. It analyzes the content, confirms settings with you, saves prompt files, generates images in batches, and inserts Markdown image references after the relevant paragraphs.

Six types are supported: infographic, scene, flowchart, comparison, framework, and timeline. Styles include sketch-notes, vector-illustration, blueprint, notion, editorial, and screen-print, combinable with palettes like macaron, warm, neon, and mono-ink, or via presets such as hand-drawn-edu and tech-explainer.

It resolves backends in priority order: a runtime-native tool such as Codex imagegen, the codex CLI via the codex-imagegen wrapper, baoyu-image-gen, or another installed backend. You can pin a backend with preferred_image_backend in EXTEND.md or set it to ask every run.

Yes. Provide reference images via --ref or file paths; they are saved to a references directory and applied per illustration as direct, style, or palette usage. Direct references are passed to the backend's ref parameter when supported.

Confirmation is a hard gate so you approve the preset, density, style, and palette before any generation starts. It is skipped only when you explicitly say to proceed directly, such as with wording meaning generate without confirmation.

It only produces raster images and never substitutes SVG, HTML, or canvas rendering. Rendered text errors cannot be patched programmatically; flawed images must be regenerated from a corrected prompt. Batch size defaults to 4 and depends on runtime parallel-call support.
