Baoyu Article Cover Image Generator

Creates article cover images by combining five design dimensions — type, palette, rendering style, text level, and mood.

Image & VideoIntermediate★ 26,102⑂ 2,884AI score 8/10Last updated: Sep 10, 2026

What it does

  • Analyzes your article to extract topic, tone, keywords and visual metaphors, then composes a full image prompt.
  • Combines 6 cover types (hero, conceptual, typography, metaphor, scene, minimal), 11 palettes, 7 rendering styles, 4 text levels, 3 mood levels and 4 font families.
  • Supports 16:9 (default), 2.35:1 cinematic, 1:1, 4:3, 3:2 and 3:4 aspects, and always writes the final prompt to prompts/cover.md for reproducibility.
  • Auto-resolves whichever raster backend is available (Codex imagegen, Cursor GenerateImage, baoyu-image-gen) and explicitly forbids substituting SVG/HTML art or patching text onto a finished bitmap.
  • On first run it creates an EXTEND.md preference file (preferred backend, output directory, watermark, default aspect, quick mode).

Who it's for

  • Bloggers, newsletter authors and technical writers who need a fresh hero image for every post.
  • Solo creators and marketers who want a consistent visual tone without a designer.
  • Anyone already using an image-generation tool who just wants the prompt design automated.

Examples

  1. Paste an article path and say "make a cover image" — it analyzes the text, offers recommended choices across six dimensions, then renders a 16:9 cover.
  2. Run with --type typography --palette macaron --rendering flat-vector --aspect 2.35:1 for a cinematic newsletter banner.
  3. Pass brand art via --ref brand.png to keep a series of covers on-palette; if the title renders with typos, edit the prompt and regenerate instead of overlaying text.

What I want: (describe your task here)

If Claude can't open the link, open it yourself and paste the contents instead.

Install in the Claude app (no terminal)
  1. Download the ZIP with the button below.
  2. In Claude, open Settings → Capabilities and turn on 'Code execution and file creation'. (one time)
  3. Go to Customize → Skills → + → 'Upload a skill' and upload the ZIP.
↓ Download ZIP
Install in Claude Code

Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code

Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart.
Copy the skills/baoyu-cover-image folder from the GitHub repo JimLiu/baoyu-skills into my ~/.claude/skills/baoyu-cover-image/.
When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.

Install with a command instead

git clone https://github.com/JimLiu/baoyu-skills.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r baoyu-skills/skills/baoyu-cover-image ~/.claude/skills/

⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

  1. Open a terminal and change into the folder where you keep tools.
  2. Clone the repo: git clone https://github.com/JimLiu/baoyu-skills.git
  3. Create the skills folder: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
  4. Copy the skill in: cp -r baoyu-skills/skills/baoyu-cover-image ~/.claude/skills/
  5. Make sure a raster image backend is available — Codex's imagegen or Cursor's GenerateImage work natively; otherwise also copy the baoyu-image-gen skill from the same repo.
  6. Restart Claude Code and ask it to "generate a cover image for this article".
  7. Answer the first-time setup questions (preferred backend, output directory, default aspect); the answers are saved to EXTEND.md and reused on later runs.
