Usage Guidance
Review before installing. The file-writing behavior is normal for an article illustration tool, but be aware that it stores prompts, references, generated images, backups, and preferences. The main issue is the instruction to not refuse sensitive or copyrighted-figure requests; install only if you are comfortable policing those requests yourself or after that line is removed.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is article illustration and the file/output workflow fits that purpose, but prompts/system.md explicitly says to create stylistically similar alternatives for sensitive or copyrighted figures and to not refuse, which is purpose-mismatched and could encourage unsafe or infringing image generation.
Instruction Scope
Most workflow instructions are scoped to analyzing articles, asking for settings, saving prompts, and generating images, with a confirmation gate before generation. The non-refusal instruction is a concrete safety-boundary override and is the main reason for Review.
Install Mechanism
The package contains markdown instructions and no executable artifact scripts. It can invoke external/native image backends and, in a fallback path, a Codex image wrapper through bun or npx, which is disclosed but depends on the user's runtime tools.
Credentials
The skill reads article/reference inputs and writes output images, prompt files, outlines, copied reference images, and optional article updates. Those mutations are expected for this purpose, though users should pay attention to output/update choices and reference-image privacy.
Persistence & Privilege
It creates persistent EXTEND.md preferences in a project or user-home location after setup, and may create outputs, backups, prompt records, and optional cache/log files. I found no background worker, hidden persistence, credential harvesting, or destructive behavior.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install baoyu-article-illustrator - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/baoyu-article-illustrator - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
v1.117.4
- Added native support for Cursor's `GenerateImage` tool and Codex CLI (`codex exec`) as image backends, with selection and usage rules.
- Introduced a detailed discovery procedure for Codex image generation backends, referenced in the new `references/codex-imagegen.md`.
- Clarified prompt construction and file-management when using Cursor's image tool.
- Updated auto-selection logic and tool priority in image generation backend resolution.
- Removed outdated `skill-card.md` documentation.
v1.117.3
v2.0.0: rename baoyu-imagine→baoyu-image-gen and baoyu-image-cards→baoyu-xhs-images; cross-skill image-backend examples updated
v1.117.2
## 1.117.2 - 2026-05-17
### Documentation
- `baoyu-cover-image`: ban programmatic text repair on generated bitmaps — disallow ImageMagick / Pillow / Canvas / SVG / HTML overlays to cover, rewrite, or replace title/subtitle text; regenerate from a corrected prompt or switch to a lower-text or no-title variant instead
- `baoyu-article-illustrator`, `baoyu-comic`, `baoyu-image-cards`, `baoyu-xhs-images`, `baoyu-infographic`, `baoyu-slide-deck`: sync the same text-repair ban with skill-specific text categories (labels/captions, dialogue/sound effects, titles/body/tags, headings/data values, slide titles/bullets)
v1.117.0
## 1.117.0 - 2026-05-16
### Features
- `baoyu-article-illustrator`: add batch generation policy — backend native batch first, runtime parallel calls second, sequential fallback; configurable `generation_batch_size` and `--batch-size` option
- `baoyu-comic`: add batch generation policy with dependency-aware ordering (character sheet before pages) and configurable `--batch-size`
- `baoyu-image-cards`: add batch generation policy honoring image-1 anchor chain, with configurable `--batch-size`
- `baoyu-slide-deck`: add batch generation policy for slide image rendering with configurable `--batch-size`
- `baoyu-xhs-images`: sync batch generation policy from baoyu-image-cards
v1.115.4
### Documentation
- Image generation backend selection: emphasize Codex `imagegen` as the priority runtime-native tool (invoke via the `Skill` tool with `skill: "imagegen"`) and forbid SVG/HTML/canvas substitution when no raster backend can be resolved — fall through to asking the user instead of silently emitting code-based art. Updated in `docs/image-generation-tools.md` and inlined into `baoyu-article-illustrator`, `baoyu-comic`, `baoyu-cover-image`, `baoyu-image-cards`, `baoyu-infographic`, `baoyu-slide-deck`, and `baoyu-xhs-images`.
