Run first-time preference setup then generate Xiaohongshu-style carousel images with watermark and style choices locked in EXTEND.md.

About

Baoyu XHS Images is an agent skill for solo creators and indie marketers who publish on Xiaohongshu and want repeatable, on-brand image carousels instead of one-off chat generations. When EXTEND.md is missing, the skill forces a gated setup: watermark choice, default style, and related preferences are collected through AskUserQuestion with explicit options—defaults are not applied without user confirmation. That blocking step exists so later content analysis and image generation honor stable brand rules. After setup, the workflow continues into article-driven visual production aligned with baoyu-xhs-images conventions. It suits builders who treat social content as a growth loop and need procedural guardrails so agents do not rush past configuration. Skip it if you only need generic social graphics without XHS-specific preference files.

  • Blocking first-time setup: must complete AskUserQuestion flow and save EXTEND.md before any generation
  • Configures watermark text and default visual style via guided questions (no silent defaults)
  • Prevents skipping setup by blocking content, layout, and audience questions until preferences exist
  • Tailored to Xiaohongshu (小红书) image workflows in the baoyu-skills family
  • Uses user language or saved language preference during setup

Outline Strategies

Three differentiated outline strategies for different content goals:

Strategy A: Story-Driven (故事驱动型)

AspectDescription
ConceptPersonal experience as main thread, emotional resonance first
FeaturesStart from pain point, show before/after change, strong authenticity
Best forReviews, personal shares, transformation stories
StructureHook → Problem → Discovery → Experience → Conclusion

Strategy B: Information-Dense (信息密集型)

AspectDescription
ConceptValue-first, efficient information delivery
FeaturesClear structure, explicit points, professional credibility
Best forTutorials, comparisons, product reviews, checklists
StructureCore conclusion → Info card → Pros/Cons → Recommendation

Strategy C: Visual-First (视觉优先型)

AspectDescription
ConceptVisual impact as core, minimal text
FeaturesLarge images, atmospheric, instant appeal
Best forHigh-aesthetic products, lifestyle, mood-based content
StructureHero image → Detail shots → Lifestyle scene → CTA

File Structure

Each session creates an independent directory named by content slug:

xhs-images/{topic-slug}/
├── source-{slug}.{ext}             # Source files (text, images, etc.)
├── analysis.md                     # Deep analysis + questions asked
├── outline-strategy-a.md           # Strategy A: Story-driven
├── outline-strategy-b.md           # Strategy B: Information-dense
├── outline-strategy-c.md           # Strategy C: Visual-first
├── outline.md                      # Final selected/merged outline
├── prompts/
│   ├── 01-cover-[slug].md
│   ├── 02-content-[slug].md
│   └── ...
├── 01-cover-[slug].png
├── 02-content-[slug].png
└── NN-ending-[slug].png

Slug Generation: 1. Extract main topic from content (2-4 words, kebab-case) 2. Example: "AI工具推荐" → ai-tools-recommend

Conflict Resolution: If xhs-images/{topic-slug}/ already exists:

  • Append timestamp: {topic-slug}-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
  • Example: ai-tools exists → ai-tools-20260118-143052

Source Files: Copy all sources with naming source-{slug}.{ext}:

  • source-article.md, source-photo.jpg, etc.
  • Multiple sources supported: text, images, files from conversation

Step 0: Load Preferences (EXTEND.md) ⛔ MUST DO FIRST

Purpose: Load user preferences or run first-time setup.

⚠️ 重要提醒

  • 如果 EXTEND.md 存在 → 加载偏好设置 → 直接跳到 Step 1
  • 如果 EXTEND.md 不存在必须运行首次设置流程,保存配置后才能继续
  • 禁止:在 Step 0 完成前询问内容、风格、布局等问题
  • 禁止:跳过 Step 0 直接进入内容分析

Use Bash to check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):

# Check project-level first
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-xhs-images/EXTEND.md && echo "project"

# Then user-level (cross-platform: $HOME works on macOS/Linux/WSL)
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-xhs-images/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────┬───────────────────┐ │ Path │ Location │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────────┤ │ .baoyu-skills/baoyu-xhs-images/EXTEND.md │ Project directory │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────────┤ │ $HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-xhs-images/EXTEND.md │ User home │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────────────┘

First-Time Setup (when EXTEND.md not found):

Language: Use user's input language or saved language preference.

Use AskUserQuestion with ALL questions in ONE call. See references/config/first-time-setup.md for question details.

EXTEND.md Supports: Watermark | Preferred style/layout | Custom style definitions | Language preference

Schema: references/config/preferences-schema.md

Step 1: Analyze Content → analysis.md

Read source content, save it if needed, and perform deep analysis.

Actions: 1. Save source content (if not already a file):

  • If user provides a file path: use as-is
  • If user pastes content: save to source.md in target directory
  • Backup rule: If source.md exists, rename to source-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md

2. Read source content 3. Deep analysis following references/workflows/analysis-framework.md:

  • Content type classification (种草/干货/测评/教程/避坑...)
  • Hook analysis (爆款标题潜力)
  • Target audience identification
  • Engagement potential (收藏/分享/评论)
  • Visual opportunity mapping
  • Swipe flow design

4. Detect source language 5. Determine recommended image count (2-10) 6. Generate clarifying questions (see Step 2) 7. Save to `analysis.md`

Step 2: Confirmation 1 - Content Understanding ⚠️

Purpose: Validate understanding + collect missing info. Do NOT skip.

Display summary:

  • Content type + topic identified
  • Key points extracted
  • Tone detected
  • Source images count

Use AskUserQuestion for: 1. Core selling point (multiSelect: true) 2. Target audience 3. Style preference: Authentic sharing / Professional review / Aesthetic mood / Auto 4. Additional context (optional)

After response: Update analysis.md → Step 3

Step 3: Generate 3 Outline + Style Variants

Based on analysis + user context, create three distinct strategy variants. Each variant includes both outline structure and visual style recommendation.

For each strategy:

StrategyFilenameOutlineRecommended Style
Aoutline-strategy-a.mdStory-driven: emotional, before/afterwarm, cute, fresh
Boutline-strategy-b.mdInformation-dense: structured, factualnotion, minimal, chalkboard
Coutline-strategy-c.mdVisual-first: atmospheric, minimal textbold, pop, retro

Outline format (YAML front matter + content):

---
strategy: a  # a, b, or c
name: Story-Driven
style: warm  # recommended style for this strategy
style_reason: "Warm tones enhance emotional storytelling and personal connection"
elements:  # from style preset, can be customized in Step 4
  background: solid-pastel
  decorations: [clouds, stars-sparkles]
  emphasis: star-burst
  typography: highlight
layout: balanced  # primary layout
image_count: 5
---

## P1 Cover
**Type**: cover
**Hook**: "入冬后脸不干了🥹终于找到对的面霜"
**Visual**: Product hero shot with cozy winter atmosphere
**Layout**: sparse

## P2 Problem
**Type**: pain-point
**Message**: Previous struggles with dry skin
**Visual**: Before state, relatable scenario
**Layout**: balanced

...

Differentiation requirements:

  • Each strategy MUST have different outline structure AND different recommended style
  • Adapt page count: A typically 4-6, B typically 3-5, C typically 3-4
  • Include style_reason explaining why this style fits the strategy
  • Consider user's style preference from Step 2

Reference: references/workflows/outline-template.md

Step 4: Confirmation 2 - Outline & Style & Elements Selection ⚠️

Purpose: User chooses outline strategy, confirms visual style, and customizes elements. Do NOT skip.

Display each strategy:

  • Strategy name + page count + recommended style
  • Page-by-page summary (P1 → P2 → P3...)

Use AskUserQuestion with three questions:

Question 1: Outline Strategy

  • Strategy A (Recommended if "authentic sharing")
  • Strategy B (Recommended if "professional review")
  • Strategy C (Recommended if "aesthetic mood")
  • Combine: specify pages from each

Question 2: Visual Style

  • Use strategy's recommended style (show which style)
  • Or select from: cute / fresh / warm / bold / minimal / retro / pop / notion / chalkboard
  • Or type custom style description

Question 3: Visual Elements (show after style selection) Display the selected style's default elements from preset, then ask:

  • Use style defaults (Recommended) - show preview: background, decorations, emphasis
  • Adjust background - options: solid-pastel / solid-saturated / gradient-linear / gradient-radial / paper-texture / grid
  • Adjust decorations - options: hearts / stars-sparkles / flowers / clouds / leaves / confetti
  • Type custom element preferences

After response:

  • Single strategy → copy to outline.md with confirmed style
  • Combination → merge specified pages with confirmed style
  • Custom request → regenerate based on feedback
  • Style defaults → use preset's Element Combination as-is
  • Background adjustment → update elements.background with user choice
  • Decorations adjustment → update elements.decorations with user choice
  • Custom elements → parse user's preferences into elements fields
  • Update outline.md frontmatter with final style and elements

Step 5: Generate Images

With confirmed outline + style + layout:

Visual Consistency — Reference Image Chain: To ensure character/style consistency across all images in a series: 1. Generate image 1 (cover) FIRST — without --ref 2. Use image 1 as `--ref` for ALL remaining images (2, 3, ..., N)

  • This anchors the character design, color rendering, and illustration style
  • Command pattern: --ref <path-to-image-01.png> added to every subsequent generation

This is critical for styles that use recurring characters, mascots, or illustration elements. Image 1 becomes the visual anchor for the entire series.

For each image (cover + content + ending): 1. Save prompt to prompts/NN-{type}-[slug].md (in user's preferred language)

  • Backup rule: If prompt file exists, rename to prompts/NN-{type}-[slug]-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md

2. Generate image:

  • Image 1: Generate without --ref (this establishes the visual anchor)
  • Images 2+: Generate with --ref <image-01-path> for consistency
  • Backup rule: If image file exists, rename to NN-{type}-[slug]-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.png

3. Report progress after each generation

Watermark Application (if enabled in preferences): Add to each image generation prompt:

Include a subtle watermark "[content]" positioned at [position].
The watermark should be legible but not distracting from the main content.

Reference: references/config/watermark-guide.md

Image Generation Skill Selection:

  • Check available image generation skills
  • If multiple skills available, ask user preference

Session Management: If image generation skill supports --sessionId: 1. Generate unique session ID: xhs-{topic-slug}-{timestamp} 2. Use same session ID for all images 3. Combined with reference image chain, ensures maximum visual consistency

Step 6: Completion Report
