| description | Generate Chinese article illustrations with a reusable personal IP character. Use this whenever the user asks for 个人 IP 配图, IP 正文配图, 文章插图, 怪诞手绘图, 中文正文配图, shot list, 配图策略, 初始化个人 IP 素材, 用我的照片做 IP, or wants reusable article illustrations built around their own IP instead of a fixed mascot. |
Personal IP Illustrations
This skill defines a personal-IP illustration system for Chinese article scenes.
The target output is not a realistic scene, PPT infographic, polished commercial illustration, or cute mascot poster. It is a clean 16:9 Chinese article illustration: pure white background, minimalist hand-drawn line art with restrained color, lots of whitespace, sparse red/orange/blue handwritten Chinese notes, and one strange but readable physical metaphor.
The recurring character is the initialized personal IP, not a built-in mascot. The IP must perform the core conceptual action, not stand beside the diagram.
Use imagegen for image generation. When the environment allows choosing an image model, prefer GPT Image 2 for both IP initialization and article illustrations. Stay on the built-in image generation path unless the user explicitly asks for CLI/API mode.
Modes
- Init mode: create reusable personal IP assets from one or more reference images.
- Planning mode: read an article/topic and output a shot list only.
- Illustration mode: generate one or more 16:9 article illustrations.
- Edit mode: remove titles, reduce text, or strengthen IP participation in an existing image.
Asset Rule
Personal IP assets are created only after initialization. Save them under:
assets/ip-assets/<profile-slug>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/
Also create or update:
assets/ip-assets/<profile-slug>/profile.md
Do not bundle a fixed mascot or style-reference image set. Runtime identity assets are created only by init mode for a specific profile.
Before Starting
Read only the references needed for the task:
references/style-dna.md: visual DNA, color, text, and no-go rules.references/ip-character.md: personal IP initialization and recurring-character constraints.references/composition-patterns.md: structure types and metaphor invention rules.references/prompt-template.md: init, illustration, and edit prompt templates.references/qa-checklist.md: quality gates and regeneration rules.
Core Flow
1. Initialize Personal IP Assets
Run init mode when:
- the user provides a reference photo and asks to create or refresh their personal IP;
- no stable profile assets exist yet;
- the current profile conflicts with user feedback.
Extract stable cues from the reference image:
- face shape and expression;
- hairstyle;
- glasses or persistent facial accessories;
- recurring clothing silhouette and colors;
- temperament;
- proportion corrections and user feedback.
Simplify the person into a hand-drawn article-illustration operator. Preserve recognizable cues, but do not make a photoreal sticker.
Generate two reusable assets:
- Identity sheet: simplified hand-drawn personal IP reference with face/hair/glasses/clothing/proportion cues and restrained color.
- Action sheet: the same IP performing everyday human office/content-creation actions, such as sitting at a desk, typing on a laptop, writing notes, reaching for objects, organizing papers, using a keyboard, presenting, reviewing a draft, carrying a notebook, and adjusting a small desk setup.
Keep filenames stable:
01-ip-reference-sheet.png
02-ip-action-sheet.png
Update profile.md with stable cues, forbidden accessories, proportion rules, asset paths, and user corrections.
2. Digest Content
For article/topic illustration tasks, first identify:
- the core claim;
- cognitive turns;
- input/output loops;
- contrast points;
- bottlenecks, common pits, or role-state changes;
- which parts need images and which are better left as text.
Do not distribute illustrations evenly. Choose cognitive anchors.
3. Plan The Shot List
If the user asks for strategy, planning, or says not to generate yet, output a shot list. Default 4-8 images. Short content may need 1-3. Long content should still rarely exceed 9.
Each shot should include:
- placement;
- theme;
- core idea;
- structure type;
- what the personal IP is doing;
- suggested elements;
- short Chinese labels.
4. Invent A Fresh Metaphor
Choose one structure type:
- Workflow;
- system slice;
- before/after contrast;
- role state;
- concept metaphor;
- method layering;
- map/route;
- mini comic.
Then invent a low-tech physical metaphor for this specific content. Do not copy familiar template layouts. Use one main action, one strange but clear object system, and 3-5 short handwritten labels.
The personal IP must do the conceptual work through human-readable actions: using a computer, writing, sorting, moving objects, reaching for tools, presenting, reviewing, organizing, pushing a small workflow forward, or physically handling the metaphor. Avoid defaulting to the original mascot-like action library.
5. Generate One Image At A Time
If the user asks to generate images, do not stop after planning. Generate each image separately with imagegen; do not make a collage unless explicitly requested.
Every prompt must include:
- 16:9 horizontal Chinese article illustration;
- pure white background;
- minimalist hand-drawn line art with restrained color;
- lots of whitespace;
- sparse red/orange/blue handwritten Chinese notes;
- initialized personal IP as the core action subject;
- no PPT, no formal flowchart, no course slide, no cute mascot, no dense text, no top-left type title.
6. QA And Iterate
Inspect each image before delivery. Regenerate or edit if:
- the personal IP is decorative rather than active;
- the image is too much like PPT/courseware/formal flowchart;
- there is a top-left title such as "Workflow", "流程图", "常见坑", "路线图";
- it copies a familiar template composition;
- text is dense, wrong, or unreadable;
- background is not clean white;
- identity cues drift too far from the profile.
7. Save And Report
For project-bound outputs, copy final images into the workspace. For initialized assets, save under assets/ip-assets/<profile-slug>/<YYYY-MM-DD>/. For article illustrations, save under:
assets/<article-slug>-illustrations/
Report:
- mode used;
- profile slug;
- saved paths;
- image purpose;
- final prompt set when useful;
- any QA concerns.
Completion States
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| DONE | Shot list or images completed and passed QA. |
| DONE_WITH_CONCERNS | Usable output with noted identity/text/style issues. |
| BLOCKED | Missing source content, reference image, initialized profile, or required user-confirmed facts. |
