illustrations-to-explain-things

A pi skill for generating clean, absurd Xiaohei-style article illustrations, shot lists, image edits, and visual metaphors.

The skill helps the agent turn one key judgment, process, structure, state, or metaphor from source material into a sparse 16:9 hand-drawn explainer image with Xiaohei as the causal actor.

Use cases

• Article and blog-post inline illustrations
• Shot lists for longer essays or Notion pages
• Visual metaphors for workflows, methods, structures, and states
• Focused image-generation prompts with style and QA constraints
