SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Adding illustrations to articles usually means inconsistent, off-topic images that ignore the article's actual data. This Skill analyzes an article, identifies where illustrations add value, and generates images with consistent type, style, and palette across the whole piece. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-dimension consistency framework: Combine illustration type (infographic, scene, flowchart, comparison, framework, timeline) with 23 styles and 4 palettes, or use ready-made presets like tech-explainer and edu-visual. - Structured 7-step workflow: Detect reference images, analyze content, confirm settings, build an outline, write reproducible prompt files, generate images via image_generate, and insert Markdown image links into the article. - Data-faithful visuals: Labels use actual numbers, terms, and quotes from the article, metaphors are visualized as underlying concepts, and secrets are stripped before anything is written to disk. - Use Case: Illustrate a technical blog post by pointing the Skill at the Markdown file, choosing the tech-explainer preset, and receiving blueprint-style infographics saved to an imgs/ folder with links inserted after the relevant paragraphs. ## Quick Start Illustrate my article api-design.md using the tech-explainer preset with balanced density.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add illustrations to a Markdown article with AI?▼

Provide the article file path or paste its content and ask for illustrations. The Skill analyzes the content, confirms type, style, palette, and density, then generates images and inserts Markdown image links after the relevant paragraphs.

What illustration styles and types are available for article images?▼

Six types are supported: infographic, scene, flowchart, comparison, framework, and timeline. These combine with 23 styles such as blueprint, notion, watercolor, and ink-notes, plus 4 palettes, or presets like tech-explainer and storytelling.

Can I use reference images to guide the illustration style?▼

Yes. Reference images are analyzed with vision_analyze to extract style, palette, and composition descriptions, which are embedded into prompts. The image generation tool does not accept image inputs directly, so everything is mediated through text descriptions.

Does the image generation backend get selected by the agent?▼

No. The image_generate tool uses whatever model the user configured, with FAL FLUX 2 Klein 9B as the default. The agent cannot route to a specific backend, so model names should not be written into prompts.

Why must prompt files be saved before generating images?▼

Prompt files under the prompts/ directory act as reproducibility records for every illustration. They let you regenerate an image, edit it, or switch backends later without reconstructing the prompt from scratch.

What platforms does this illustration workflow support?▼

The Hermes port supports Linux and macOS only. It relies on Hermes file tools for text, the terminal for binary downloads via curl or wget, and vision_analyze for reading reference images.
