The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
3 rules. About 0 are common, 2 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈2
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 23
Use a mostly white hand-drawn field, one small dark character as guide rather than mascot wallpaper, and sparse red/orange/blue annotations …
- Distinctive: line 24
Keep Chinese labels short and verified.
- Distinctive: line 28
Do not imitate a living artist or copy an upstream example image.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Xiaohei Article Illustrator
Designed, integrated, independently refactored, and continuously maintained by TIKAZ.
TIKAZ Edition
- Type: original art-direction workflow; no reference images or generator-specific assets are bundled.
- TIKAZ contribution: thesis-to-shot translation, metaphor selection, character role limits, label budget, accessibility text, and consistency QA.
Inputs
Accept the article or thesis, audience, publishing ratio and size, required message, factual labels, preferred delivery format, and any established character references.
Workflow
- Extract the article's single message, audience, publishing ratio, and what the image must explain rather than decorate.
- Choose one mechanism or metaphor and write a shot card: message, scene, composition, character action, labels, palette, forbidden elements, and alt text.
- Use a mostly white hand-drawn field, one small dark character as guide rather than mascot wallpaper, and sparse red/orange/blue annotations only where they clarify causality.
- Keep Chinese labels short and verified. Avoid large title text unless requested.
- Generate or draw with the tool available in the user's environment; do not assume a particular image provider.
- Review at publishing size for message recognition, text accuracy, hierarchy, cropping, character consistency, and accessible alternative text.
Do not imitate a living artist or copy an upstream example image. Translate desired qualities into composition, line, palette, and narrative constraints.
Output contract
Return the thesis, chosen metaphor, shot card, exact labels, composition and palette rules, forbidden elements, alt text, source and license notes, and final asset or editable production specification.
Validation and fallback
Review at publishing size and compare every label plus factual claim with the source. If no drawing or image tool is available, return a self-contained SVG/HTML composition plan or production-ready shot card. Do not claim a visual was created when only a prompt exists.
Example and limits
Use xiaohei-article-illustrator to turn this article into one white-background hand-drawn metaphor, with short verified Chinese labels and accessible alt text.Do not imitate a living artist or copy an upstream example image. Translate desired qualities into composition, line, palette, and narrative constraints.

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
