* 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(drop stub warning) so it stays functional alongside baoyu-imagine, and update CLAUDE.md to reflect that both superseded skills are kept in sync rather than stubbed.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 Tools
Skills in this repo are loaded by multiple agent runtimes (Claude Code, Codex, Hermes, other agents, bare CLI). Each runtime exposes a different image-generation capability — some have a runtime-native tool (Codex imagegen, Hermes image_generate), others rely on an installed skill (baoyu-imagine, or user-defined). This document defines the canonical backend-selection rule every skill that renders images follows so skills stay portable.
The Rule
When a skill needs to render an image:
- Use whatever image-generation tool or skill is available in the current runtime — e.g., Codex
imagegen, Hermesimage_generate,baoyu-imagine, or any equivalent the user has installed. - If multiple are available, ask the user once at the start which to use (batch with any other initial questions).
- If none are available, tell the user and ask how to proceed.
No explicit priority between runtime-native tools and repo skills — treat them equivalently and let the user decide when there's a choice. No persisted preference mechanism; the question is cheap, and the rule is stateless.
Prompt File Requirement (hard)
Regardless of which backend is chosen, every skill that renders images MUST write each image's full, final prompt to a standalone file under prompts/ (naming: NN-{type}-[slug].md) BEFORE invoking any backend. The backend receives the prompt file (or its content); the file is the reproducibility record and allows switching backends without regenerating prompts.
How Skills Declare This
Each SKILL.md that renders images includes exactly one ## Image Generation Tools section (near the top, after ## User Input Tools and before the main workflow) that inlines this rule. Skills are self-contained and cannot link to docs/ — each skill folder must ship the rule inside its own SKILL.md. See CLAUDE.md → Skill Self-Containment.
Concrete tool names (imagegen, image_generate, baoyu-imagine) in this document and in SKILL.md are examples — agents in other runtimes apply the rule above and substitute the local equivalent. Skill-specific parameters for these backends are illustrative; runtimes without those knobs can omit them.
Backend Skills Are Exempt
Skills that are themselves image-generation backends — currently baoyu-imagine, baoyu-image-gen (deprecated), and baoyu-danger-gemini-web — do NOT include a ## Image Generation Tools section. They render directly via their own provider integrations and have no need to "select a backend." The rule applies only to consumer skills that delegate rendering to whatever backend the runtime exposes.
