Baoyu Cover Image Generator

Analyzes your article and generates a matching cover image across five design dimensions (type, palette, rendering, text, mood).

Image & VideoIntermediate★ 27,392⑂ 2,989AI score 8/10Last updated: Nov 6, 2026

What it does

  • Reads your article, extracts topic, tone, keywords and visual metaphors, then proposes a cover concept.
  • Composes images from five dimensions: 6 types, 11 palettes, 7 rendering styles, text level, and mood — plus font and aspect ratio.
  • Confirms the option set with you before rendering, and always writes the final prompt to a file under prompts/ so runs are reproducible and backend-portable.
  • Supports 16:9, 2.35:1, 4:3, 3:2, 1:1, 3:4, reference images via --ref, watermarks, and persisted defaults in EXTEND.md.
  • Explicitly forbids patching title text in an already-rendered bitmap with ImageMagick/SVG/HTML — you regenerate from a corrected prompt instead.

Who it's for

  • Bloggers, newsletter authors and technical writers who need a thumbnail for every post
  • Solo creators and marketers who want a consistent visual tone across an archive
  • Anyone already running an image backend: Codex imagegen, Cursor GenerateImage, or baoyu-image-gen

Example uses

  1. "generate a cover image" plus a path to your draft → analysis, option confirmation, output at cover-image/{slug}/cover.png
  2. --type typography --palette mono --aspect 2.35:1 for a cinematic, type-led cover
  3. --ref brand.png --no-title --quick to instantly produce an untitled background matching your brand reference

Try it now, no install

Paste this into Claude to use the skill without installing anything.

Read the instructions in this file and follow them to help me:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/JimLiu/baoyu-skills/HEAD/skills/baoyu-cover-image/SKILL.md

What I want: (describe your task here)

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

↓ If it works for you, download the ZIP below and install it. Then it runs on its own — no pasting each time.

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 AI 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 /tmp/baoyu-skills && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/baoyu-skills/skills/baoyu-cover-image ~/.claude/skills/

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

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/JimLiu/baoyu-skills.git
  3. Copy the skill into place: mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r baoyu-skills/skills/baoyu-cover-image ~/.claude/skills/
  4. Make sure at least one raster image backend is available (Codex CLI imagegen, Cursor's GenerateImage, or the baoyu-image-gen skill) — without one the skill will stop and ask you how to proceed.
  5. Restart Claude Code and ask it to "create an article cover".
  6. On first run it walks you through setup (watermark, default aspect, output directory) and saves it to EXTEND.md; edit that file later or say "reconfigure baoyu-cover-image preferences" to redo it.
