[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superseded skills are kept in sync rather than stubbed.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.

## 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.
## CLI Setup
**Important**: The CLI is provided by the npm package dependency `baoyu-fetch`. Do not use a vendored `scripts/vendor/baoyu-fetch` copy.

**CRITICAL**: When EXTEND.md is not found, you **MUST use `AskUserQuestion`** to ask the user for their preferences before creating EXTEND.md. **NEVER** create EXTEND.md with defaults without asking. This is a **BLOCKING** operation — do NOT proceed with any conversion until setup is complete.
When EXTEND.md is not found, you **MUST** use `AskUserQuestion` to gather preferences before creating EXTEND.md. **NEVER** create EXTEND.md with silent defaults. Generation is BLOCKED until setup completes. Batch all three questions into a single call:
Use `AskUserQuestion` with ALL questions in ONE call:
- **Q1 — Media** (header "Media"): "How to handle images and videos in pages?"
- "Ask each time (Recommended)" — Prompt after each save
- "Always download" — Download to local `imgs/` and `videos/`
- "Never download" — Keep remote URLs
- **Q2 — Output** (header "Output"): "Default output directory?"
- "url-to-markdown (Recommended)" — Save to `./url-to-markdown/{domain}/{slug}.md`
- User may pick "Other" and type a custom path
- **Q3 — Save** (header "Save"): "Where to save preferences?"
- "User (Recommended)" — `~/.baoyu-skills/` (all projects)
- "Project" — `.baoyu-skills/` (this project only)
**Question 1** — header: "Media", question: "How to handle images and videos in pages?"
- "Ask each time (Recommended)" — After saving markdown, ask whether to download media
- "Always download" — Always download media to local imgs/ and videos/ directories
- "Never download" — Keep original remote URLs in markdown
After answers, write EXTEND.md, confirm "Preferences saved to [path]", then continue.
**Question 2** — header: "Output", question: "Default output directory?"
- "url-to-markdown (Recommended)" — Save to ./url-to-markdown/{domain}/{slug}.md
- (User may choose "Other" to type a custom path)
**Question 3** — header: "Save", question: "Where to save preferences?"
- "User (Recommended)" — ~/.baoyu-skills/ (all projects)
- "Project" — .baoyu-skills/ (this project only)
After user answers, create EXTEND.md at the chosen location, confirm "Preferences saved to [path]", then continue.

| `--wait-for interaction` | Opens visible Chrome, auto-detects login/CAPTCHA gates, waits for them to clear, then continues | Login-required, CAPTCHA-protected |
| `--wait-for force` | Opens visible Chrome, auto-detects OR accepts Enter keypress to continue | Complex flows, lazy loading, paywalls |
**Interaction gate auto-detection**:
- Cloudflare Turnstile / "just a moment" pages
- Google reCAPTCHA
- hCaptcha
- Custom challenge / verification screens
**Wait-for-interaction workflow**:
1. Run with `--wait-for interaction` → Chrome opens visibly
2. CLI auto-detects login/CAPTCHA gates
3. User completes login or solves CAPTCHA in the browser
4. CLI auto-detects gate cleared → captures page
5. If `--wait-for force` is used, user can also press Enter to trigger capture manually
## Agent Quality Gate
**CRITICAL**: The agent must treat default headless capture as provisional. Some sites render differently in headless mode and can silently return low-quality content without causing the CLI to fail.
**CRITICAL**: treat default headless capture as provisional. Some sites render differently in headless mode and can silently return low-quality content without failing the CLI.
After every headless run, the agent **MUST** inspect the saved markdown output.
### Quality checks the agent must perform
1. Confirm the markdown title matches the target page, not a generic site shell
2. Confirm the body contains the expected article or page content, not just navigation, footer, or a generic error
3. Watch for obvious failure signs:
- `Application error`
- `This page could not be found`
- Login, signup, subscribe, or verification shells
- Extremely short markdown for a page that should be long-form
- Raw framework payloads or mostly boilerplate content
4. If the result is low quality, incomplete, or clearly wrong, do **not** accept the run as successful just because the CLI exited with code 0
**Tip**: Use `--format json` to get structured output including `status`, `login.state`, and `interaction` fields for programmatic quality assessment. A `"status": "needs_interaction"` response means the page requires manual interaction.
### Recovery workflow the agent must follow
1. First run headless (default) unless there is already a clear reason to use interaction mode
2. Review markdown quality immediately after the run
3. If the content is low quality or indicates login/CAPTCHA:
- `--wait-for interaction` for auto-detected gates (login, CAPTCHA, Cloudflare)
- `--wait-for force` when the page needs manual browsing, scroll loading, or complex interaction
4. If `--wait-for` is used, tell the user exactly what to do:
- If login is required, ask them to sign in in the browser
- If CAPTCHA appears, ask them to solve it
- If the page needs time to load, ask them to wait until content is visible
- For `--wait-for force`: tell them to press Enter when ready
5. If JSON output shows `"status": "needs_interaction"`, switch to `--wait-for interaction` automatically
After every headless run, inspect the saved markdown. See [references/quality-gate.md](references/quality-gate.md) for the full checklist, recovery workflow, and capture-mode table. Read it whenever a run looks suspicious or the user asks about login/CAPTCHA handling.

## Output Format
## Adapters & Media
Markdown output to stdout (or file with `--output`) as clean markdown text.
JSON output (`--format json`) returns structured data including:
- `adapter` — which adapter handled the URL
- `status``"ok"` or `"needs_interaction"`
- `login` — login state detection (`logged_in`, `logged_out`, `unknown`)
- `interaction` — interaction gate details (kind, provider, prompt)
- `document` — structured content (url, title, author, publishedAt, content blocks, metadata)
- `media` — collected media assets with url, kind, role
- `markdown` — converted markdown text
- `downloads` — media download results (when `--download-media` used)
When `--download-media` is enabled:
- Images are saved to `imgs/` next to the output file (or in `--media-dir`)
- Videos are saved to `videos/` next to the output file (or in `--media-dir`)
- Markdown media links are rewritten to local relative paths
## Built-in Adapters
| Adapter | URLs | Key Features |
|---------|------|-------------|
| `x` | x.com, twitter.com | Tweets, threads, X Articles, media, login detection |
| `youtube` | youtube.com, youtu.be | Transcript/captions, chapters, cover image, metadata |
| `hn` | news.ycombinator.com | Threaded comments, story metadata, nested replies |
| `generic` | Any URL (fallback) | Defuddle extraction, Readability fallback, auto-scroll, network idle detection |
Adapter is auto-selected based on URL. Use `--adapter <name>` to override.
## Media Download Workflow
Based on `download_media` setting in EXTEND.md:
| Setting | Behavior |
|---------|----------|
| `1` (always) | Run CLI with `--download-media --output <path>` |
| `0` (never) | Run CLI with `--output <path>` (no media download) |
| `ask` (default) | Follow the ask-each-time flow below |
### Ask-Each-Time Flow
1. Run CLI **without** `--download-media` with `--output <path>` → markdown saved
2. Check saved markdown for remote media URLs (`https://` in image/video links)
3. **If no remote media found** → done, no prompt needed
4. **If remote media found** → use `AskUserQuestion`:
- header: "Media", question: "Download N images/videos to local files?"
- "Yes" — Download to local directories
- "No" — Keep remote URLs
5. If user confirms → run CLI **again** with `--download-media --output <same-path>` (overwrites markdown with localized links)
See [references/adapters.md](references/adapters.md) for the adapter catalog (X, YouTube, Hacker News, generic), per-adapter notes, the media download flow (`ask` / always / never), and the JSON output schema. Read it before answering adapter-specific questions or handling media prompts.

### YouTube Notes
- YouTube adapter extracts transcripts/captions automatically when available
- Transcript format: `[MM:SS] Text segment` with chapter headings
- Transcript availability depends on YouTube exposing a caption track. Videos with captions disabled or restricted playback may produce description-only output
- Use `--wait-for force` if the page needs time to finish loading player metadata
### X/Twitter Notes
- Extracts single tweets, threads, and X Articles
- Auto-detects login state; if logged out and content requires auth, JSON output will show `"status": "needs_interaction"`
- Use `--wait-for interaction` for login-protected content
### Hacker News Notes
- Parses threaded comments with proper nesting and reply hierarchy
- Includes story metadata (title, URL, author, score, comment count)
