Asked it to concept a cover for a remote-work article: its auto-selection tables turned raw content signals into a fully resolved, reproducible prompt spec (type=conceptual, palette=elegant, rendering=digital, mood=subtle, all keyword-justified) versus a single ad-hoc paragraph from scratch — genuinely more systematic. But Step 4 dead-ends in a stock Claude Code setup: it requires Codex's imagegen, Cursor's GenerateImage, or a separate baoyu-image-gen skill to actually render a bitmap, and none of those exist here, so the deliverable stops at a prompt file, not an image.

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

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 7/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Baoyu Cover Image does

Runs a structured workflow — preferences file, content analysis, a 6-dimension confirmation step (type/palette/rendering/text/mood/font), then a saved reusable prompt file — before handing off to whatever raster image backend the runtime provides (Codex imagegen, Cursor GenerateImage, or the separate baoyu-image-gen skill). Triggers on explicit phrasing like 'generate cover image', 'create article cover', or 'make cover'. Actual image rendering (Step 4) requires one of those external backends; none is bundled.
