[codex] Refactor skills into focused references (#135)

* docs: add runtime-neutral User Input Tools convention across skills

Introduce docs/user-input-tools.md as the author-side canonical source
and inline the tool-selection rule into every SKILL.md that prompts
the user. Also add Skill Self-Containment and User Input Tools sections
to CLAUDE.md and the copy-verbatim template to docs/creating-skills.md,
so skills stay portable across Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, and other
runtimes.

* feat: runtime-neutral image generation convention across skills

- Introduce inline `## Image Generation Tools` rule in every rendering SKILL.md so skills delegate backend choice instead of hard-coding one; author-side canonical copy lives in docs/image-generation-tools.md.
- Add `## Reference Images` support (`--ref`, frontmatter `references:` with direct/style/palette usage) to all seven image-rendering skills.
- Move build-batch.ts (with ref propagation into batch JSON) from baoyu-article-illustrator to baoyu-imagine so non-backend skills don't own backend-specific scripts; update baoyu-image-gen stub in sync and relax the CLAUDE.md deprecation note accordingly.

* refactor: slim heavy SKILL.md files and move detail to references/

Trim the four largest active skills and move presets, option tables, and
confirmation scripts into per-skill references/ so SKILL.md stays focused
on the decision flow.

- baoyu-slide-deck: 761→258, + styles-gallery.md, confirmation.md
- baoyu-image-cards: 657→280, + gallery.md, confirmation.md
- baoyu-post-to-wechat: 518→267, + multi-account.md, api-setup.md
- baoyu-imagine: 500→230, + providers/, usage-examples.md

Also un-deprecate baoyu-image-gen (drop stub warning) so it stays functional
alongside baoyu-imagine, and update CLAUDE.md to reflect that both
superseded skills are kept in sync rather than stubbed.

* refactor: slim four medium SKILL.md files into references/

Continue the P2 pattern on the next tier of skills — move option catalogs,
per-provider/adapter detail, and repeated EXTEND.md path boilerplate into
their own references so SKILL.md stays focused on the decision flow.

- baoyu-comic: 380→297 (art/tone/preset tables → auto-selection.md;
  Step 7 expanded detail → workflow.md)
- baoyu-infographic: 312→207 (layouts/styles/combinations/keywords →
  gallery.md; ASCII box tables → markdown tables)
- baoyu-format-markdown: 376→296 (title + summary generation →
  title-summary.md; ASCII box tables → markdown tables)
- baoyu-url-to-markdown: 334→169 (quality gate + recovery →
  quality-gate.md; adapters + media download → adapters.md)

* chore: sync deprecated skills with their replacements

Per project policy, baoyu-xhs-images and baoyu-image-gen are kept
functional alongside the active skills they were superseded by. Sync
their SKILL.md bodies and references/ to the slimmed baoyu-image-cards
and baoyu-imagine versions respectively, so cross-cutting fixes stay
consistent. Only the frontmatter (name, description, version, homepage)
differs — content is identical.

- baoyu-xhs-images: 657→281 (synced with baoyu-image-cards + new
  confirmation.md, gallery.md)
- baoyu-image-gen: 408→231 (synced with baoyu-imagine + new
  providers/, usage-examples.md)

* refactor: collapse EXTEND.md boilerplate into priority tables

Replace the dual bash/powershell existence-check blocks and ASCII box
art with a single markdown priority table across nine SKILL.md files.
The runtime-neutral phrasing removes shell-specific snippets without
losing the priority semantics.

* fix: address refactor-skills branch review findings

- image-gen: restore EXTEND.md paths to baoyu-image-gen (were pointing at
  baoyu-imagine) and mark descriptions of both deprecated skills as
  [Deprecated].
- xhs-images: sync neon/warm palettes with image-cards to add the
  "do not render color names/hex as visible text" safety sentence.
- infographic: restore Layout Gallery (21), Style Gallery (21),
  Recommended Combinations, and Keyword Shortcuts inline (previous
  refactor split them out but SKILL.md still depended on them), and add
  the missing references/config/first-time-setup.md + preferences-schema.md.
- image-cards / xhs-images / slide-deck / format-markdown: restore the
  sections that got over-slimmed into references/ (galleries, presets,
  dimensions, auto-selection, style x layout matrix, title/summary flow)
  and drop the now-empty shell files.
- docs/image-generation-tools.md: note that backend skills themselves
  (baoyu-imagine, baoyu-image-gen, baoyu-danger-gemini-web) are exempt
  from the ## Image Generation Tools section requirement.

* feat(image-gen): sync Z.AI GLM-Image provider from baoyu-imagine

Add Z.AI as a full provider in the deprecated baoyu-image-gen skill so
it stays in sync with baoyu-imagine's provider list.

- new scripts/providers/zai.ts + zai.test.ts (verbatim port; test
  factory trimmed to match image-gen's CliArgs shape).
- types.ts: "zai" added to Provider union and default_model.
- main.ts: rate-limit defaults, provider help text, env var help,
  --provider validation, loadProviderModule, detectProvider
  auto-detect chain, getModelForProvider, YAML parser allow-lists.
- references/config: Q2e Z.AI model question + zai slot in the
  preferences schema and batch.provider_limits.

Scope is intentionally limited to the Z.AI chain; unrelated drift
between image-gen and imagine (OpenAI image-API dialect,
aspectRatioSource, imageSizeSource) is left alone.

* docs: align inline-convention wording and note backend-skill exemption

- docs/user-input-tools.md: fix stale "links here" wording so it
  matches the inline convention already enforced everywhere else.
- CLAUDE.md §Image Generation Tools: inline the backend-skill
  exemption so readers don't need to cross-reference
  docs/image-generation-tools.md.

Every SKILL.md that prompts the user for choices MUST include exactly one `## User Input Tools` section near the top (right after the intro, before the main workflow). The rule must be **inlined** — do NOT link to `docs/user-input-tools.md` (skills are self-contained; see [CLAUDE.md → Skill Self-Containment](../CLAUDE.md)).

## User Input Tools
When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order):
1. **Prefer built-in user-input tools** exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g., `AskUserQuestion`, `request_user_input`, `clarify`, `ask_user`, or any equivalent.
2. **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.
3. **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.

## Image Generation Tools
When this skill needs to render an image:
- **Use whatever image-generation tool or skill is available** in the current runtime — e.g., Codex `imagegen`, Hermes `image_generate`, `baoyu-imagine`, or any equivalent the user has installed.
- **If multiple are available**, ask the user **once** at the start which to use (batch with any other initial questions).
- **If none are available**, tell the user and ask how to proceed.
**Prompt file requirement (hard)**: write each image's full, final prompt to a standalone file under `prompts/` (naming: `NN-{type}-[slug].md`) BEFORE invoking any backend. The backend receives the prompt file (or its content); the file is the reproducibility record and lets you switch backends without regenerating prompts.
Concrete tool names (`imagegen`, `image_generate`, `baoyu-imagine`) above are examples — substitute the local equivalents under the same rule.

# Image Generation Tools
Skills in this repo are loaded by multiple agent runtimes (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, other agents, bare CLI). Each runtime exposes a different image-generation capability — some have a runtime-native tool (Codex `imagegen`, Hermes `image_generate`), others rely on an installed skill (`baoyu-imagine`, or user-defined). This document defines the canonical **backend-selection rule** every skill that renders images follows so skills stay portable.
## The Rule
When a skill needs to render an image:
- **Use whatever image-generation tool or skill is available** in the current runtime — e.g., Codex `imagegen`, Hermes `image_generate`, `baoyu-imagine`, or any equivalent the user has installed.
- **If multiple are available**, ask the user **once** at the start which to use (batch with any other initial questions).
- **If none are available**, tell the user and ask how to proceed.
No explicit priority between runtime-native tools and repo skills — treat them equivalently and let the user decide when there's a choice. No persisted preference mechanism; the question is cheap, and the rule is stateless.
## Prompt File Requirement (hard)
Regardless of which backend is chosen, every skill that renders images MUST write each image's full, final prompt to a standalone file under `prompts/` (naming: `NN-{type}-[slug].md`) BEFORE invoking any backend. The backend receives the prompt file (or its content); the file is the reproducibility record and allows switching backends without regenerating prompts.
## How Skills Declare This
Each `SKILL.md` that renders images includes **exactly one** `## Image Generation Tools` section (near the top, after `## User Input Tools` and before the main workflow) that **inlines** this rule. Skills are self-contained and cannot link to `docs/` — each skill folder must ship the rule inside its own `SKILL.md`. See [CLAUDE.md → Skill Self-Containment](../CLAUDE.md).
Concrete tool names (`imagegen`, `image_generate`, `baoyu-imagine`) in this document and in SKILL.md are **examples** — agents in other runtimes apply the rule above and substitute the local equivalent. Skill-specific parameters for these backends are illustrative; runtimes without those knobs can omit them.
## Backend Skills Are Exempt
Skills that **are themselves** image-generation backends — currently `baoyu-imagine`, `baoyu-image-gen` (deprecated), and `baoyu-danger-gemini-web` — do NOT include a `## Image Generation Tools` section. They render directly via their own provider integrations and have no need to "select a backend." The rule applies only to consumer skills that delegate rendering to whatever backend the runtime exposes.

# Image Generation Guidelines
Skills that require image generation MUST delegate to available image generation skills.
Skills that require image generation MUST delegate to available image generation tools (runtime-native tools or installed skills).
**Backend selection convention**: see [image-generation-tools.md](image-generation-tools.md) for the runtime-neutral rule. Short version: use whatever backend is available; if multiple, ask the user once; if none, ask how to proceed. This document covers output conventions (naming, paths) that apply regardless of which backend is selected.
## Skill Selection
**Default**: `skills/baoyu-imagine/SKILL.md` (unless user specifies otherwise).
1. Read skill's SKILL.md for parameters and capabilities
2. If user requests different skill, check `skills/` for alternatives
3. Only ask user when multiple viable options exist
1. Follow the rule in [image-generation-tools.md](image-generation-tools.md): use whatever backend is available; ask only on ambiguity.
2. Read the chosen backend's documentation for parameters and capabilities.
3. If user requests a specific backend, honor it.
## Generation Flow Template
```markdown
### Step N: Generate Images
**Skill Selection**:
1. Check available skills (`baoyu-imagine` default, or `baoyu-danger-gemini-web`)
2. Read selected skill's SKILL.md for parameters
3. If multiple skills available, ask user to choose
**Backend Selection**:
1. Detect available image-generation tools/skills (runtime-native + installed)
2. If one available → use it. If multiple → ask user once. If none → ask how to proceed.
3. Read the chosen backend's docs for parameters
**Generation Flow**:
1. Call skill with prompt, output path, and skill-specific parameters
2. Generate sequentially by default (batch parallel only when user has multiple prompts)
3. Output progress: "Generated X/N"
4. On failure, auto-retry once before reporting error
1. Write the full prompt to `prompts/NN-{type}-[slug].md` BEFORE invoking the backend
2. Call backend with the prompt (or prompt file), output path, and parameters
3. Generate sequentially by default (batch parallel only when backend supports it and user has multiple prompts)
4. Output progress: "Generated X/N"
5. On failure, auto-retry once before reporting error
```
**Batch Parallel** (`baoyu-imagine` only): concurrent workers with per-provider throttling via `batch.max_workers` in EXTEND.md.

# User Input Tools
Skills in this repo are loaded by multiple agent runtimes (Claude Code, other agents, bare CLI). Each runtime exposes a different API for asking the user questions. This document defines the canonical **tool-selection rule** every skill follows so skills stay portable.
## Tool Selection (priority order)
1. **Prefer built-in user-input tools** if the current agent runtime exposes one — e.g., `AskUserQuestion`, `request_user_input`, `clarify`, `ask_user`, or any equivalent.
2. **Fallback to plain text**: 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.
3. **Batching rule**:
- If the tool supports **multiple questions per call** (e.g., `AskUserQuestion`): **Combine all applicable questions into a single call. Do NOT split into separate calls.**
- If the tool supports **only one question per call** (e.g., single-prompt `clarify`): ask **one question per call, in priority order**.
## How Skills Declare This
Each `SKILL.md` that uses interactive user input includes **exactly one** `## User Input Tools` section (typically near the top, right after the intro) that **inlines** this rule. Do NOT link here from a SKILL.md — skills are self-contained (see [CLAUDE.md → Skill Self-Containment](../CLAUDE.md)). This document is the author-side canonical source; copy its body into each SKILL.md. The rule then governs every user-input interaction in that skill and its `references/` files.
Specific mentions of a concrete tool (e.g., `AskUserQuestion`) elsewhere in a skill are **concrete examples** — agents in other runtimes apply the rule above and substitute the local equivalent. Tool-specific parameters (e.g., `header:`, `multiSelect:`) are illustrative; runtimes without those knobs can omit them.
