Baoyu Creative Suite

Unified skill for all Baoyu (宝玉/JimLiu) creative generation workflows. All three modes share the same core conventions: image_generate for rendering, clarify for user confirmation, prompt-file-as-reproducibility-record, and style/type/palette dimension systems.

Shared Conventions

• Image generation: Use Hermes' image_generate tool (prompt + aspect_ratio → URL). Download returned URLs to local PNGs via curl -fsSL "<url>" -o <absolute-path>. Always use absolute paths for -o.
• Aspect ratio mapping: 16:9 → landscape, 9:16 → portrait, 1:1 → square. Custom ratios → nearest named aspect.
• Prompt files: Write the full final prompt to a file under prompts/ BEFORE calling image_generate. The prompt file is the reproducibility record.
• Clarify workflow: Use clarify tool for confirmations (one question at a time). Ask the most important question first. If clarify times out, treat as default for THAT question only and continue asking remaining questions — surface defaults visibly so user can correct.
• Data integrity: Never summarize, paraphrase, or alter source statistics. Strip all credentials/secrets from source content before including in output.
• Backup rule: When regenerating, rename existing files with -backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS suffix.
• Output structure: {type}/{topic-slug}/ with source-{slug}, analysis.md, prompts/, and generated PNGs.

Section A: Article Illustrations

Trigger: User asks to illustrate an article, add images to content, "为文章配图".

Three dimensions: Type × Style × Palette.

Type	Best For
infographic	Data, metrics, technical
scene	Narratives, emotional
flowchart	Processes, workflows
comparison	Side-by-side, options
framework	Models, architecture
timeline	History, evolution

Output: {article-dir}/imgs/ or illustrations/{topic-slug}/ with outline.md, prompts/NN-{type}-{slug}.md, and NN-{type}-{slug}.png.

Workflow: Detect refs → Analyze content → Confirm settings (clarify) → Generate outline → Generate prompts → Generate images → Finalize (insert markdown image links).

Section B: Knowledge Comics

Trigger: User asks for knowledge/educational comic, biography comic, tutorial comic, "知识漫画".

Visual dimensions: Art × Tone × Layout × Aspect.

Art Style	Tone	Layout
ligne-claire, manga, realistic, ink-brush, chalk, minimalist	neutral, warm, dramatic, romantic, energetic, vintage, action	standard, cinematic, dense, splash, mixed, webtoon, four-panel

Presets: ohmsha, wuxia, shoujo, concept-story, four-panel — each with special rules beyond plain art+tone.

Output: comic/{topic-slug}/ with storyboard.md, characters/characters.md, prompts/, and page PNGs.

Key: Character consistency via text descriptions in characters/characters.md embedded inline in every page prompt. Character sheet PNG is human review artifact only.

Section C: Infographics

Trigger: User asks for infographic, visual summary, "信息图", "可视化", "高密度信息大图".

Two dimensions: Layout (21 options) × Style (21 options). Freely combine any layout with any style.

Keyword shortcuts: Auto-select layout when user input contains 高密度信息大图 → dense-modules, 信息图 → bento-grid.

Output: infographic/{topic-slug}/ with structured-content.md, prompts/infographic.md, and infographic.png.

Workflow: Analyze → Generate structured content → Recommend combinations → Confirm (clarify) → Generate prompt → Generate image → Summary.

Detailed procedures: references/infographic-workflow.md Layout definitions: references/layouts/ Style definitions: references/styles/

Pitfalls (All Modes)

1. image_generate returns a URL, not a local file — always download via terminal (curl) before using.
2. Use absolute paths for curl -o — persistent-shell CWD can drift between batches.
3. No backend selection — image_generate uses user-configured backend; don't write model names expecting routing.
4. Prompt files are mandatory — no image generation without a saved prompt file.
5. Strip secrets — scan source for API keys/tokens/credentials before any output.
6. Never alter source data — "73% increase" stays "73% increase".
