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 results
├── outline-style-[slug].md         # Variant A (e.g., outline-style-tech.md)
├── outline-style-[slug].md         # Variant B (e.g., outline-style-notion.md)
├── outline-style-[slug].md         # Variant C (e.g., outline-style-minimal.md)
├── outline.md                      # Final selected
├── 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

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/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. Select 3 style+layout combinations
7. Save to analysis.md

Step 2: Generate 3 Outline Variants

Based on analysis, create three distinct style variants.

For each variant:

1. Generate outline (outline-style-[slug].md):
   • YAML front matter with style, layout, image_count
   • Cover design with hook
   • Each image: layout, core message, text content, visual concept
   • Written in user's preferred language
   • Reference: references/outline-template.md

Variant	Selection Logic	Example Filename
A	Primary recommendation	outline-style-tech.md
B	Alternative style	outline-style-notion.md
C	Different audience/mood	outline-style-minimal.md

All variants are preserved after selection for reference.

Step 3: User Confirms All Options

IMPORTANT: Present ALL options in a single confirmation step using AskUserQuestion. Do NOT interrupt workflow with multiple separate confirmations.

Determine which questions to ask:

Question	When to Ask
Style variant	Always (required)
Default layout	Only if user might want to override
Language	Only if source_language ≠ user_language

Language handling:

• If source language = user language: Just inform user (e.g., "Images will be in Chinese")
• If different: Ask which language to use

AskUserQuestion format:

Question 1 (Style): Which style variant?
- A: tech + dense (Recommended) - 专业科技感，适合干货
- B: notion + list - 清爽知识卡片
- C: minimal + balanced - 简约高端风格
- Custom: 自定义风格描述

Question 2 (Layout) - only if relevant:
- Keep variant default (Recommended)
- sparse / balanced / dense / list / comparison / flow

Question 3 (Language) - only if mismatch:
- 中文 (匹配原文)
- English (your preference)

After confirmation:

1. Copy selected outline-style-[slug].md → outline.md
2. Update YAML front matter with confirmed options
3. If custom style: regenerate outline with that style
4. User may edit outline.md directly for fine-tuning

Step 4: 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

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
