Outline Strategies

Three differentiated outline strategies for different content goals:

Strategy A: Story-Driven (故事驱动型)

Strategy B: Information-Dense (信息密集型)

Strategy C: Visual-First (视觉优先型)

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}/

• 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

Workflow

Progress Checklist

Copy and track progress:

XHS Infographic Progress:
- [ ] Step 0: Check preferences (EXTEND.md) ⚠️ REQUIRED if not found
- [ ] Step 1: Analyze content → analysis.md
- [ ] Step 2: Confirmation 1 - Content understanding ⚠️ REQUIRED
- [ ] Step 3: Generate 3 outline + style variants

Flow

Input → Analyze → [Confirm 1] → 3 Outlines → [Confirm 2: Outline + Style + Elements] → Generate → Complete

Step 0: Load Preferences (EXTEND.md) ⚠️

Purpose: Load user preferences or run first-time setup. Do NOT skip setup if EXTEND.md not found.

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 │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────────────┘

┌───────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Result │ Action │ ├───────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Found │ Read, parse, display summary → Continue to Step 1 │ ├───────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Not found │ ⚠️ MUST run first-time setup (see below) → Then continue to Step 1 │ └───────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

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

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
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: 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:

outline-strategy-a.md

outline-strategy-b.md

outline-strategy-c.md

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:

For each image (cover + content + ending):

1. Save prompt to

   prompts/NN-{type}-[slug].md

   (in user's preferred language)
2. Generate image using confirmed style and layout
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]
with approximately [opacity*100]% visibility. 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. Ensures visual consistency across generated images
