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}/ 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

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
- [ ] Step 4: Confirmation 2 - Outline & style & elements selection ⚠️ REQUIRED
- [ ] Step 5: Generate images (sequential)
- [ ] Step 6: Completion report

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 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
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:

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].
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
