Workflow

- [ ] Step 1: Pre-check (EXTEND.md, references, config)
- [ ] Step 2: Analyze content
- [ ] Step 3: Confirm settings (AskUserQuestion)
- [ ] Step 4: Generate outline
- [ ] Step 5: Generate images
- [ ] Step 6: Finalize

Step 1: Pre-check

1.5 Load Preferences (EXTEND.md) ⛔ BLOCKING

bash
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-article-illustrator/EXTEND.md && echo "project"
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-article-illustrator/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"
Result Action
Found Read, parse, display summary
Not found ⛔ Run first-time-setup

Full procedures: references/workflow.md

Step 2: Analyze

Analysis Output
Content type Technical / Tutorial / Methodology / Narrative
Purpose information / visualization / imagination
Core arguments 2-5 main points
Positions Where illustrations add value

CRITICAL: Metaphors → visualize underlying concept, NOT literal image.

Full procedures: references/workflow.md

Step 3: Confirm Settings ⚠️

ONE AskUserQuestion, max 4 Qs. Q1-Q3 REQUIRED.

Q Options
Q1: Type [Recommended], infographic, scene, flowchart, comparison, framework, timeline, mixed
Q2: Density minimal (1-2), balanced (3-5), per-section (Recommended), rich (6+)
Q3: Style [Recommended], minimal-flat, sci-fi, hand-drawn, editorial, scene, Other
Q4: Language When article language ≠ EXTEND.md setting

Full procedures: references/workflow.md

Step 4: Generate Outline

Save outline.md with frontmatter (type, density, style, image_count) and entries:

yaml
## Illustration 1
**Position**: [section/paragraph]
**Purpose**: [why]
**Visual Content**: [what]
**Filename**: 01-infographic-concept-name.png

Full template: references/workflow.md

Step 5: Generate Images

⛔ BLOCKING: Prompt files MUST be saved before ANY image generation.

  1. For each illustration, create a prompt file per references/prompt-construction.md
  2. Save to prompts/NN-{type}-{slug}.md with YAML frontmatter
  3. Prompts MUST use type-specific templates with structured sections (ZONES / LABELS / COLORS / STYLE / ASPECT)
  4. LABELS MUST include article-specific data: actual numbers, terms, metrics, quotes
  5. DO NOT pass ad-hoc inline prompts to --prompt without saving prompt files first
  6. Select generation skill, process references (direct/style/palette)
  7. Apply watermark if EXTEND.md enabled
  8. Generate from saved prompt files; retry once on failure

Full procedures: references/workflow.md

Step 6: Finalize

Insert ![description](path/NN-{type}-{slug}.png) after paragraphs.

Article Illustration Complete!
Article: [path] | Type: [type] | Density: [level] | Style: [style]
Images: X/N generated
