Find and manage a personal library of illustrations — stories, quotes, analogies, stats,
and examples — to sharpen writing. Supports two modes:
ADD MODE: Save a new illustration to the local bank. Triggers on:
"/illustration-add", "add illustration", "save this story to my illustration bank",
"add this to my illustration bank", "save this example", "add this quote".
FIND MODE: Search for illustrations to use in writing. Triggers on:
"/illustration-find", "find an illustration", "illustration for [topic]",
"do I have a story about", "find me an example of", "search my illustration bank".
Add "--web" flag to also search the internet for stories, quotes, and case studies.
Web results are cited in Turabian style.
Global bank: ~/.claude/illustration-bank.md (persists across all projects).
Project banks: ./illustration-bank.md in any project directory (separate context per project).
