Ian Xiaohei illustrations

gist

Ian (伊恩) publishes a Codex skill that turns judgments, processes, states, and metaphors in Chinese articles into 16:9 white-background hand-drawn figures. Xiaohei, a black stick figure with white-dot eyes, must perform the pictured action rather than decorate the frame. The skill is not a generic illustration prompt or a PPT infographic: it extracts one cognitive anchor per shot, invents a low-tech metaphor, and keeps Chinese annotation short. Example images calibrate style; agents should reinvent the composition from the current article.

ideas

• Draw the cognitive action, not a decoration. The skill exists to picture one judgment, process, state, or metaphor from the article.
• Xiaohei must do the work. If removing the character leaves the diagram intact, he is only a sticker.
• One structure per frame. Do not dump a full article, course page, or PPT architecture into a single 16:9 shot.
• Examples calibrate style, not composition. Reinvent the metaphor from the current text instead of copying old objects and layouts.
• Short Chinese labels are more reliable. If generated text is garbled, cut annotation words and regenerate.
