Make original, distinctive editorial illustrations for written content. One image explains one idea: a key judgment, a flow, a before/after, a trap, a loop. A recurring mascot is the one performing the idea in every scene — the subject, never decoration. When one idea advances through stages, it can be a mini-comic: 2–4 panels inside a single image. And when the idea is itself a traceable structure — a pipeline, labeled stages, a fan-out, a timeline, a loop — it can be an explainer: the same mascot and look drawing the structure as a hand-built sketch-diagram with arrows and callouts (references/composition.md, "Two registers" and "Pick the diagram type"; editorial scene is always the default). A named pipeline or recipe is labeled stages inside that register — named phases in order, one connected system, pack-solved for this body, never a new look. Or a character cutout: the mascot alone on a transparent PNG for downstream overlay — pose and contact continuity only, no idea, no text, no environment (references/cutout.md).
