Generating polished, consistent cover images for articles is time consuming and requires design choices across multiple dimensions; this Skill automates image creation while preserving visual intent and references so authors and editors can produce on-brand covers quickly.

  • Aspect ratio and output management: supports cinematic 2.35:1, widescreen 16:9, square 1:1 and configurable output directories (same-dir, imgs-subdir, independent).
  • Style presets and reference handling: expandable --style presets, save and analyze reference images in refs/, and embed mandatory reference instructions into prompt frontmatter.
  • Workflow and preferences: first-time EXTEND.md setup, auto-selection rules, confirm-options flow with quick mode, prompt template generation, backup/regenerate flow, and completion reporting.
  • Use cases: generate a blog post cover from an article file, produce social cards and thumbnails with specific aspect ratios, batch-regenerate covers with updated prompts or dimensions, and create reference-consistent covers for brand campaigns.
