The skill scans Markdown files or pasted drafts, pinpoints core themes and turns them into precise art prompts. Users can guide the outcome using command flags or let automatic detection pick the parameters. It provides six rendering directions, such as flat vectors or pixel art, alongside nine curated color sets and varying aspect ratios from square to cinematic widescreen.
All assets stay organized in dedicated folders. The tool saves generation drafts inside prompts/cover.md, placing finished art in cover.png. Note that the first execution halts until you create the EXTEND.md configuration. Creating the actual PNG also demands an active image generation backend inside your agent setup.
What it helps with
- create tailored prompts for article cover illustrations
- adapt image palettes and visual styles to written content
- output graphics in custom aspect ratios like 16:9 or 1:1
- organize generation prompts and reference files in clean folders
Example prompts for the agent
- /canghe-cover-image article.md --palette warm --aspect 16:9
- /canghe-cover-image post.md --quick
- /canghe-cover-image draft.md --rendering pixel --aspect 1:1
