Add a `Codex via codex exec` branch to each skill's backend-selection
ladder and ship a per-skill references/codex-imagegen.md with the
invocation contract (preferred baoyu-image-gen --provider codex-cli
path, direct-wrapper fallback, parameter notes, stdout schema, batch
semantics).
BREAKING CHANGE: removed `baoyu-imagine` and `baoyu-image-cards`. All
functionality now lives under `baoyu-image-gen` and `baoyu-xhs-images`
respectively. Cross-skill `## Image Generation Tools` examples updated
across baoyu-article-illustrator, baoyu-comic, baoyu-cover-image,
baoyu-infographic, and baoyu-slide-deck.
Migration: existing `~/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-imagine/EXTEND.md` configs are
auto-renamed to `…/baoyu-image-gen/EXTEND.md` on first run via the
legacy-path resolver in `scripts/main.ts`.
Add a text-correction policy to all raster-image skills: title/subtitle/labels/dialogue/etc. inside generated bitmaps must NOT be patched with ImageMagick, Pillow, Canvas, SVG, HTML/CSS, OCR overlays, or any other programmatic painter. On error, regenerate from a corrected prompt or switch to a lower-text variant.
Synced to: baoyu-cover-image, baoyu-article-illustrator, baoyu-comic, baoyu-image-cards, baoyu-xhs-images, baoyu-infographic, baoyu-slide-deck.
Strengthen the shared image-generation backend selection rule:
- Codex `imagegen` MUST be used when listed in the available-skills inventory;
invoke via the `Skill` tool with `skill: "imagegen"`.
- Never substitute SVG, HTML, canvas, or other code-based rendering when no
raster backend can be resolved — fall through and ask the user instead.
Applied to docs/image-generation-tools.md and inlined into baoyu-article-illustrator
(plus its references/workflow.md), baoyu-comic, baoyu-cover-image, baoyu-image-cards,
baoyu-infographic, baoyu-slide-deck, baoyu-xhs-images per the self-containment rule.
Consolidate the confirmation rule into one section so defaults, keywords,
and EXTEND.md preferences are treated as recommendation inputs only — never
as authorization to skip Step 4. Remove the repeated reminders that were
scattered across Step 5, Step 6, Default combination, Keyword Shortcuts,
and the preferences docs.
Replaces the stateless ask-once backend rule with a 4-step resolution
(current-request override > saved preference > auto-select > ask) and
adds a single `preferred_image_backend` field (auto | ask | <backend-id>)
to every image-consuming skill's EXTEND.md schema. Runtime-native tools
(Codex `imagegen`, Hermes `image_generate`, ...) win by default; absent
field equals `auto` so existing user EXTEND.md files stay valid with no
schema version bump.
Each image-consuming skill also gains a top-level `## Changing
Preferences` section as a first-class surface for pinning a backend and
editing common one-line preferences.
Applies across:
- baoyu-infographic (reverts in-progress two-field image_backend_mode design)
- baoyu-comic
- baoyu-cover-image
- baoyu-image-cards
- baoyu-article-illustrator
- baoyu-slide-deck
- baoyu-xhs-images
- docs/image-generation-tools.md (canonical author-side doc)
* 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.
