Jim Liu 宝玉 2c800c670a [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superseded skills are kept in sync rather than stubbed.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.

Image Generation Guidelines

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 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

  1. Follow the rule in 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

### Step N: Generate Images

**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. 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.

Output Path Convention

Output Directory: <skill-suffix>/<topic-slug>/

  • <skill-suffix>: e.g., xhs-images, cover-image, slide-deck, comic
  • <topic-slug>: 2-4 words, kebab-case from content topic
  • Conflict: append timestamp <topic-slug>-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS

Source Files: Copy to output dir as source-{slug}.{ext}

Image Naming Convention

Format: NN-{type}-[slug].png

  • NN: Two-digit sequence (01, 02, ...)
  • {type}: cover, content, page, slide, illustration, etc.
  • [slug]: 2-5 word kebab-case descriptor, unique within directory
