Article Illustrator

Adapted from baoyu-article-illustrator for Hermes Agent's tool ecosystem.

Analyze articles, identify illustration positions, generate images with Type × Style × Palette consistency.

When to Use

Trigger this skill when the user asks to illustrate an article, add images to an article, generate illustrations for content, or uses phrases like "为文章配图", "illustrate article", or "add images". The user provides an article (file path or pasted content) and optionally specifies type, style, palette, or density.

Three Dimensions

Dimension	Controls	Examples
Type	Information structure	infographic, scene, flowchart, comparison, framework, timeline
Style	Rendering approach	notion, warm, minimal, blueprint, watercolor, elegant
Palette	Color scheme (optional)	macaron, warm, neon, overrides style's default colors

Combine freely: type=infographic, style=vector-illustration, palette=macaron.

Or use presets: edu-visual → type + style + palette in one shot. See style-presets.md.

Types

Type	Best For
infographic	Data, metrics, technical
scene	Narratives, emotional
flowchart	Processes, workflows
comparison	Side-by-side, options
framework	Models, architecture
timeline	History, evolution

Styles

See references/styles.md for Core Styles, the full gallery, and Type × Style compatibility.
