Analyzes article structure and generates contextual illustrations using Type × Style two-dimension approach.

Combines six illustration types (infographic, scene, flowchart, comparison, framework, timeline) with multiple visual styles to match article content and aesthetic preferences
Includes preset shortcuts that bundle type and style together, plus granular control via --type and --style flags for custom combinations
Follows a six-step workflow: pre-check configuration, analyze content, confirm settings with user, generate outline, create images with saved prompt files, and insert markdown references
Supports flexible output directory configuration (subdirectory, same directory, or independent folder structure) and handles both file-based articles and pasted content
Requires initial setup via EXTEND.md to load project, user, or XDG-based preferences; blocking step ensures configuration is loaded before proceeding

Article Illustrator

Analyze articles, identify illustration positions, generate images with Type × Style × Palette consistency.

User Input Tools

When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order):

Prefer built-in user-input tools exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g., AskUserQuestion, request_user_input, clarify, ask_user, or any equivalent.
Fallback: if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain-text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question.
Batching: if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single-question, ask them one at a time in priority order.

Concrete AskUserQuestion references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes.

When this skill needs to render an image, resolve the backend in this order:

Current-request override — if the user names a specific backend in the current message, use it.
