Article Illustrator Analyze articles, identify illustration positions, generate images with Type × Style consistency. Two Dimensions Dimension Controls Examples Type Information structure infographic, scene, flowchart, comparison, framework, timeline Style Visual aesthetics notion, warm, minimal, blueprint, watercolor, elegant Combine freely: type infographic style blueprint Types Type Best For infographic Data, metrics, technical scene Narratives, emotional flowchart Processes, workflows comparison Side by side, options framework Models, architecture timeline History, evolution Styles See [references/styles.md](references/styles.md) for Core Styles, full gallery, and Type × Style compatibility. Workflow Step 1: Pre check 1.5 Load Preferences (EXTEND.md) ⛔ BLOCKING Result Action Found Read, parse, display summary Not found ⛔ Run [first time setup](references/config/first time setup.md) Full procedures: [references/workflow.md](references/workflow.md step 1 pre check) Step 2: Analyze Analysis Output Content type Technical / Tutorial / Methodology / Narrative Purpose information / visualization / imagination Core arguments 2 5 main points Positions Where illustrations add value CRITICAL : Metaphors → visualize underlying concept, NOT literal image. Full procedures: [references/workflow.md](references/workflow.md step 2 setup analyze) Step 3: Confirm Settings ⚠️ ONE AskUserQuestion, max 4 Qs. Q1 Q3 REQUIRED. Q Options Q1: Type [Recommended], infographic, scene, flowchart, comparison, framework, timeline, mixed Q2: Density minimal (1 2), balanced (3 5), per section (Recommended), rich (6+) Q3: Style [Recommended], minimal flat, sci fi, hand drawn, editorial, scene, Other Q4: Language When article language ≠ EXTEND.md setting Full procedures: [references/workflow.md](references/workflow.md step 3 confirm settings ) Step 4: Generate Outline Save outline.md with frontmatter (type, density, style, image count) and entries: Full template: [references/workflow.md](references/workflow.md step 4 generate outline) Step 5: Generate Images ⛔ BLOCKING: Prompt files MUST be saved before ANY image generation. 1. For each illustration, create a prompt file per [references/prompt construction.md](references/prompt construction.md) 2. Save to prompts/NN {type} {slug}.md with YAML frontmatter 3. Prompts MUST use type specific templates with structured sections (ZONES / LABELS / COLORS / STYLE / ASPECT) 4. LABELS MUST include article specific data: actual numbers, terms, metrics, quotes 5. DO NOT pass ad hoc inline prompts to prompt without saving prompt files first 6. Select generation skill, process references ( direct / style / palette ) 7. Apply watermark if EXTEND.md enabled 8. Generate from saved prompt files; retry once on failure Full procedures: [references/workflow.md](references/workflow.md step 5 generate images) Step 6: Finalize Insert ![description](path/NN {type} {slug}.png) after paragraphs. Output Directory Slug : 2 4 words, kebab case. Conflict : append YYYYMMDD HHMMSS . Modification Action Steps Edit Update prompt → Regenerate → Update reference Add Position → Prompt → Generate → Update outline → Insert Delete Delete files → Remove reference → Update outline References File Content [references/workflow.md](references/workflow.md) Detailed procedures [references/usage.md](references/usage.md) Command syntax [references/styles.md](references/styles.md) Style gallery [references/prompt construction.md](references/prompt construction.md) Prompt templates [references/config/first time setup.md](references/config/first time setup.md) First time setup
