description

Process photos into Xiaohongshu-style image covers using Annie's preferred white hand-drawn doodle workflow. Apply when the user asks to edit a photo, make a Xiaohongshu photo cover, add hand-drawn doodles, process a picture for 小红书, or says to use the previously liked version. Uses medium white marker strokes, minimal text, no arrows, no full body outline, and flattering partial subject highlights.

Xiaohongshu Photo Cover

This skill owns still-image cover processing. Keep xiaohongshu-content focused on titles, body copy, tags, and publishing strategy.

When To Apply

Apply when Annie asks to:

• Process a photo for Xiaohongshu / 小红书
• Make a photo cover, 封面, 图文封面, 照片处理
• Add hand-drawn doodles, 手绘涂鸦, white marker doodles, sticker-style doodles
• Use the previous liked version / 按之前喜欢的版本来

Reference look: sagrada_doodle_medium_stroke_v6.png.

Fixed Visual Style

• Use medium-thickness white hand-drawn marker strokes: thinner than the first chunky draft, but still clear, playful, and visible.
• Keep the image airy. Do not fill the whole photo with doodles.
• Use one main handwritten place/title word when appropriate, such as Barcelona or the destination name.
• Make the main word casual, cute, readable, and placed near an edge or open background.
• Allow at most one tiny secondary word such as wow.
• Avoid many phrases, speech bubbles, dense notes, or text that competes with the subject.
• Add small cute doodles: hearts, sparkles, swirls, short comic accent marks.

Subject Highlighting

• Highlight the person with partial accent lines only: loose half-halo behind/above the head, short radiating marks around hair/head, and small sparkles beside the subject.
• Keep face, torso, arms, and clothing clear of doodles.
• Do not draw a full silhouette outline.
• Do not outline shoulders, torso, arms, sweater, or any line that visually widens the body.
• Do not add arrows unless Annie explicitly asks for arrows.
• If a generated version makes Annie look broader, busier, or less elegant, revise by removing body-adjacent contour lines and reducing clutter.

Composition Rules

• Prefer doodles around background areas: stained glass, architecture, sky, walls, edges, or empty space.
• Preserve flattering body proportions and the original travel atmosphere.
• Keep the main subject visually central and clean.
• Use white doodles only unless Annie asks for another color.
• Keep roughly 55-70% of the image visually clear.

Default Prompt Pattern

When generating or editing a photo, adapt this prompt:

Edit this photo into a Xiaohongshu-style travel photo cover. Keep the original photo realistic and flattering. Add medium-thickness white hand-drawn marker doodles, playful but airy. Use one main handwritten destination word near an edge, plus at most one tiny secondary word. Add small hearts, sparkles, swirls, and short comic accent marks mostly around the background and edges.

Highlight the person only with partial accent lines: a loose half-halo behind/above the head, short radiating marks around the hair/head, and a few small sparkles beside the subject. Keep face, torso, arms, and clothing clear. Do not draw a full silhouette outline. Do not outline shoulders or body. Do not add arrows. Preserve flattering body proportions and the warm travel atmosphere.

Quality Check

Before accepting a result, verify:

• The subject does not look wider or heavier.
• No line wraps around shoulders or torso.
• There are no random arrows.
• Text is minimal and readable.
• The photo still feels like a photo first, not a doodle page.
• The result is cute, intentional, and suitable as a Xiaohongshu cover.
