What does ian-xiaohei-illustrations do?
ian-xiaohei-illustrations is a skill that plans and generates 16:9 hand-drawn illustrations for Chinese articles; its instructions are written in Chinese. It reads your text, finds the key judgments and turning points, and proposes a shot list of usually 4 to 8 images, each with its position, idea, structure and suggested Chinese labels. Every image stars Xiaohei, a solid black character with dot eyes and thin legs who acts out the idea on a white background with a few red, orange and blue notes. It generates each image separately, checks it against a QA list, and saves numbered PNGs under assets/<article-slug>-illustrations/.
