Why we included this project

Writers who publish Chinese essays, methodology posts, or Notion docs often reach for stock images that say nothing about their point. This Codex skill gives them a repeatable alternative: paste in an article and it returns a shot list of four to eight illustrations, each built around one judgment, process, or metaphor from the text, plus the finished PNG files. The visuals stick to a tight house style with a plain white background, wobbly black line art, a few red-orange-blue Chinese annotations, and a small blank-faced character named Xiaohei who is always doing the work rather than decorating the corner. That consistency is the point, because it gives every post a recognizable look instead of a fresh random image each time. It is not a general-purpose image prompt or an editable SVG/PPT tool, so it suits writers who want fast, coherent article art more than designers who need vector source files.
