- Simplify SKILL.md by extracting usage and prompt templates
- Add references/usage.md for command syntax
- Add references/prompt-construction.md for prompt templates
- Add default_output_dir preference option
- Reorganize workflow from 5 to 6 steps with Pre-check phase

```
### Step 1: Setup & Analyze
---
**1.1 Load Preferences (EXTEND.md)**
### Step 1: Pre-check
Use Bash to check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):
**1.1 Determine Input Type**
| Input | Output Directory | Next |
|-------|------------------|------|
| File path | Ask user (1.2) | → 1.2 |
| Pasted content | `illustrations/{topic-slug}/` | → 1.4 |
**1.2 Determine Output Directory** (file path input only)
Check `default_output_dir` in preferences:
| Preference Value | Action |
|------------------|--------|
| `same-dir` | Use `{article-dir}/`, display "Output: {path}" |
| `illustrations-subdir` | Use `{article-dir}/illustrations/`, display "Output: {path}" |
| `independent` | Use `illustrations/{topic-slug}/`, display "Output: {path}" |
| Not configured | **MUST** ask with AskUserQuestion ↓ |
**AskUserQuestion** (when no preference):
- `{article-dir}/` - Same directory as article
- `{article-dir}/illustrations/` - Illustrations subdirectory (Recommended)
- `illustrations/{topic-slug}/` - Independent directory
- Save as default - Remember this choice for future runs
**1.3 Check Existing Images**
Scan target directory for `.png/.jpg/.webp` files.
If images exist → AskUserQuestion: How to handle?
- `supplement` - Keep existing, generate only new positions
- `overwrite` - Overwrite same-name files
- `regenerate` - Clear all and regenerate
**1.4 Confirm Article Update Method** (file path input only)
AskUserQuestion: How to update article?
- `update` - Modify original file directly
- `copy` - Create `{name}-illustrated.md` copy
**1.5 Load Preferences (EXTEND.md)**
```bash
# Check project-level first
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-article-illustrator/EXTEND.md && echo "project"
# Then user-level (cross-platform: $HOME works on macOS/Linux/WSL)
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-article-illustrator/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"
```

### Step 2: Setup & Analyze
**1.2 Analyze Content**
Read article, detect language, classify content.
**2.1 Analyze Content**
| Analysis | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| Content type | Technical / Tutorial / Methodology / Narrative |
| Core arguments | 2-5 main points that MUST be visualized |
| Core arguments | 2-5 main points to visualize |
| Visual opportunities | Positions where illustrations add value |
| Recommended type | Based on content signals |
| Recommended density | Based on article length and complexity |
| Recommended density | Based on length and complexity |
**1.3 Extract Core Arguments**
**2.2 Extract Core Arguments**
Extract 2-5 core arguments that MUST be visualized:
- Main thesis
- Key concepts reader needs
- Comparisons/contrasts being made
- Comparisons/contrasts
- Framework/model proposed
**CRITICAL**: If article uses metaphors (e.g., "电锯切西瓜"), do NOT illustrate literally. Visualize the **underlying concept** instead.
**CRITICAL**: If article uses metaphors (e.g., "电锯切西瓜"), do NOT illustrate literally. Visualize the **underlying concept**.
**1.4 Identify Positions**
**2.3 Identify Positions**
**What to Illustrate**:
**Illustrate**:
- Core arguments (REQUIRED)
- Abstract concepts needing visualization
- Data comparisons, metrics
- Abstract concepts
- Data comparisons
- Processes, workflows
**What NOT to Illustrate**:
**Do NOT Illustrate**:
- Metaphors literally
- Decorative scenes without information
- Decorative scenes
- Generic illustrations
### Step 2: Confirm Settings ⚠️
---
### Step 3: Confirm Settings ⚠️
**Do NOT skip.** Use AskUserQuestion with 3-4 questions in ONE call.
**Question 1: Illustration Type**
**Q1: Illustration Type**
- [Recommended based on analysis] (Recommended)
- infographic / scene / flowchart / comparison / framework / timeline / mixed
Based on content analysis, recommend type:
- [Recommended type based on signals] (Recommended)
- infographic - Data visualization, charts
- scene - Atmospheric, mood rendering
- flowchart - Process, steps
- comparison - Side-by-side contrast
- framework - Concept relationships
- timeline - Chronological progression
- mixed - Combine multiple types
**Q2: Density**
- minimal (1-2) - Core concepts only
- balanced (3-5) (Recommended) - Major sections
- rich (6+) - Comprehensive support
**Question 2: Density**
**Q3: Style**
Based on Type, suggest compatible styles from matrix:
- [Best compatible] (Recommended)
- [Other ✓✓ styles]
- [Other ✓ styles]
- minimal (1-2 images) - Core concepts only
- balanced (3-5 images) (Recommended) - Major sections
- rich (6+ images) - Comprehensive visual support
**Q4** (only if source ≠ user language):
- Language: Source / User language
**Question 3: Style**
---
Based on recommended Type, suggest compatible styles (see Type × Style Compatibility matrix):
- [Best compatible style for recommended type] (Recommended)
- [Other highly compatible styles: ✓✓ from matrix]
- [Compatible styles: ✓ from matrix]
### Step 4: Generate Outline
**Question 4** (only if source ≠ user language):
- Language: Source language / User language
### Step 3: Generate Outline
Based on confirmed Type + Density + Style, generate illustration outline.
**Outline Format** (`outline.md`):
Save as `outline.md`:

### Principles
## Output Directory
Good prompts must include:
1. **Layout Structure First**: Describe composition, zones, flow direction
2. **Specific Data/Labels**: Use actual numbers, terms from article
3. **Visual Relationships**: How elements connect
4. **Semantic Colors**: Meaning-based color choices (red=warning, green=efficient)
5. **Style Characteristics**: Line treatment, texture, mood
6. **Aspect Ratio**: End with ratio and complexity level
