Jim Liu 宝玉 adb783ae6d refactor: unify image-backend resolution with preferred_image_backend preference
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)

First-Time Setup

Overview

When no EXTEND.md is found, guide user through preference setup.

BLOCKING OPERATION: This setup MUST complete before ANY other workflow steps. Do NOT:

  • Ask about content/article
  • Ask about style or layout
  • Ask about target audience
  • Proceed to content analysis

ONLY ask the questions in this setup flow, save EXTEND.md, then continue.

Questions

Language: Use user's input language or saved language preference.

Use single AskUserQuestion with multiple questions (AskUserQuestion auto-adds "Other" option):

Question 1: Watermark

header: "Watermark"
question: "Watermark text for generated images? Type your watermark content (e.g., name, @handle)"
options:
  - label: "No watermark (Recommended)"
    description: "No watermark, can enable later in EXTEND.md"

Position defaults to bottom-right.

Question 2: Preferred Style

header: "Style"
question: "Default visual style preference? Or type another style name or your custom style"
options:
  - label: "None (Recommended)"
    description: "Auto-select based on content analysis"
  - label: "cute"
    description: "Sweet, adorable - classic XHS aesthetic"
  - label: "notion"
    description: "Minimalist hand-drawn, intellectual"

Question 3: Save Location

header: "Save"
question: "Where to save preferences?"
options:
  - label: "Project"
    description: ".baoyu-skills/ (this project only)"
  - label: "User"
    description: "~/.baoyu-skills/ (all projects)"

Save Locations

Choice Path Scope
Project .baoyu-skills/baoyu-xhs-images/EXTEND.md Current project
User ~/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-xhs-images/EXTEND.md All projects

After Setup

  1. Create directory if needed
  2. Write EXTEND.md with frontmatter
  3. Confirm: "Preferences saved to [path]"
  4. Continue to Step 1

EXTEND.md Template

---
version: 1
watermark:
  enabled: [true/false]
  content: "[user input or empty]"
  position: bottom-right
  opacity: 0.7
preferred_style:
  name: [selected style or null]
  description: ""
preferred_layout: null
language: null
preferred_image_backend: auto
custom_styles: []
---

preferred_image_backend: auto is the baked-in default — first-time setup does not ask about it. The ## Image Generation Tools rule in SKILL.md then picks the runtime-native tool (Codex imagegen, Hermes image_generate, etc.) when available, and falls back to installed backends.

Modifying Preferences Later

See the ## Changing Preferences section in SKILL.md for the canonical list of common edits (pin backend, change defaults, retrigger setup). Full schema: preferences-schema.md.
