Overview
A Codex Skill that reads a Chinese article, picks 4-8 key ideas, and writes a shot list. It then generates one white-background, hand-drawn 16:9 PNG per idea with an image model, using a recurring black character called Xiaohei and sparse red, orange and blue Chinese annotations. Files are saved to assets/<article-slug>-illustrations/.
Who it is for: Chinese writers using Codex who want consistent hand-drawn illustrations
Strengths
- Fixed visual style (white background, thin black lines, limited annotation colors) keeps a series consistent
- Outputs a shot list first, so images can be planned before generation
- Includes QA checklist and style reference files for the agent to check results against
- Supports editing an existing image, such as removing a stray title
Weaknesses
- Output is raster PNG only; no SVG, HTML or editable vector source
- Image models may produce wrong Chinese characters or extra titles, so manual review is needed
- Built for Codex; Claude Code or other agents are not documented
- README and prompts are in Chinese; the style targets Chinese articles
What it needs
- Needs Codex, image generation model
