Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.8/10
Tested: Jul 10, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Jul 19, 2026 · 87e27e6

Correctly refused to fake final images when no image-generation backend was available, producing only an outline and prompt files instead - honest, but it does nothing end-to-end without a separate image tool installed.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Baoyu Article Illustrator does

Reads an article, identifies where visual aids add value, and produces a structured outline plus per-image prompt files (ZONES/LABELS/COLORS/STYLE/ASPECT) using a Type x Style x Palette system for visual consistency. Triggers on requests to illustrate an article, add images, generate images for an article, or the Chinese equivalent, but requires a raster image-generation backend (Codex imagegen, Cursor GenerateImage, or the separate baoyu-image-gen skill) to actually render the pictures.
