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.

- What is the Baoyu Cover Image SkillProof Score?
- 8.4/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 7/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Baoyu Cover Image?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Baoyu Cover Image with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
