The problem it solves
You finished a long Chinese article and each section needs a picture, but stock photos look generic and slide-style diagrams feel stiff.

Overview
This skill helps an AI agent illustrate Chinese articles, posts and documents. It reads your text, picks the ideas worth a picture and plans a shot list of 4 to 8 images, then draws each one as a 16:9 hand-drawn sketch on a white background with a few red, orange and blue Chinese notes. A small black character called Xiaohei acts out each idea. It suits people who write Chinese articles or method guides and want one consistent illustration style.
Each picture turns one idea from your article into a visual metaphor, instead of a generic stock image or a slide-style diagram.

What you get
From the creator's documentation.
| Output | What it is | Reads |
|---|---|---|
| Shot list | Where each picture goes, its main idea, layout type, what Xiaohei does and suggested Chinese labels | What you paste |
| Visual metaphors | A new metaphor for each idea, rather than copies of the example pictures | What you paste |
| Finished images | 16:9 hand-drawn PNGs on a white background, drawn by your agent's image tool; labels can contain typos | Your image service |
| Image fixes | Edits an existing picture, for example to remove a stray title or wrong text | Your image service |
| Saved files | Final PNGs saved in order in an illustrations folder in your workspace | Your files |
Good to know
Add illustrations to a Chinese article without falling back on stock photos. The skill first proposes a shot list of where each picture goes and what it shows, then generates each image separately in the same hand-drawn style.
Limits
- Image models can add typos, extra labels or style drift to the Chinese text in a picture; the author recommends checking each image and keeping labels short.
- The style is made for Chinese text and a white, sketch-like look. It does not produce editable vector files, slides or commercial poster art.
