# Peanut Illustrations > Turn a short prompt into one clean, hand-drawn concept illustration starring a deadpan peanut. Use when the user gives an idea, judgment, process, feeling, or metaphor as a short prompt and wants a single "peanut" illustration, concept sketch, explainer image, article figure, or visual for it. Default style is a deadpan in-shell peanut, black hand-drawn line art on white, one warm-orange accent, lots of whitespace, one idea per image, and the exact bottom-right watermark "© peanut-illustrations-by-aish" added after generation — composed first, then generated. - Skill: `aishwaryaashok14/peanut-illustrations` (Agent Skill, multi-file: 9 files) - Install (CLI): `npx skillmds@latest add aishwaryaashok14/peanut-illustrations` - Raw SKILL.md: https://api.skillmd.com/api/skills/aishwaryaashok14/peanut-illustrations/raw - Safety review: pending - Works with: Claude Code, Claude.ai, OpenAI Codex - Category: Design & Media - Author: aishwaryaashok14 (https://skillmd.com/u/aishwaryaashok14) - Updated: 2026-09-22 - Page: https://skillmd.com/skills/aishwaryaashok14/peanut-illustrations --- # Peanut Illustrations ## Core idea Turn a short prompt into one 16:9 hand-drawn concept illustration. The goal is not commercial art, a PPT infographic, or a cute cartoon — it is to take a single idea (a judgment, process, contrast, state, or metaphor) and draw it as a clean, deadpan, slightly absurd sketch that reads in about one second. The recurring character is **the peanut**: a whole in-shell peanut with dot eyes, two thin legs, and a blank, serious expression — completely unbothered while gravely doing a ridiculous job. The peanut must perform the core action of the image, not stand beside it as decoration. Input is a **short prompt**, not an article. The user already knows the idea; this skill's job is to invent a fitting visual metaphor, put the peanut to work inside it, and draw it well. ## The contract: compose first, then draw For each prompt, **think briefly out loud, then generate one image**. Before calling the image model, state: - **Metaphor** — the fresh low-tech metaphor you invented for this prompt. - **Peanut's action** — what the peanut is physically doing to drive the idea. - **Labels** — the short English handwritten labels that will appear (a few; at most 5-8). - **Composition** — where the peanut sits, the main object, and how the eye moves. - **Watermark** — reserve a quiet lower-right margin for the exact watermark `© peanut-illustrations-by-aish`; do not ask the image model to render this text. Then generate **one** image. One prompt → one composed image. Do not fan out into variations unless the user asks. If the user gives several prompts, make one image each. ## Read these references as needed Pull in only what the task needs; do not load everything at once: - `references/style-dna.md` — the visual DNA: line, color (single warm-orange accent), whitespace, hard nos. - `references/peanut-character.md` — the peanut's form, personality, action vocabulary, and don'ts. - `references/composition-patterns.md` — structure types and how to invent a fresh metaphor every time. - `references/prompt-template.md` — the fill-in-the-blanks single-image generation prompt. - `references/qa-checklist.md` — post-generation checks and iteration moves. ## Workflow ### 1. Read the prompt Take the user's short prompt and decide what *kind* of idea it is: a judgment, an input→output process, a before/after contrast, a character/user state, or a concept metaphor. That choice picks the structure type. Do not over-interpret a one-liner into a whole article — illustrate the single idea in front of you. ### 2. Compose (think briefly) State the metaphor, the peanut's action, the labels, and the composition (see "The contract" above). Keep it to a few lines — enough for the user to catch a wrong take in one second, not an essay. ### 3. Generate one image If the user clearly asks to generate, do not stop for confirmation — use the built-in image tool and produce one image with the prompt template. Each prompt must include: - 16:9 horizontal concept illustration - pure white background - black hand-drawn line art - exactly one warm-orange accent color (no other colors) - lots of whitespace - the peanut as the subject performing the core action - a few short handwritten English labels - a quiet lower-right margin for the watermark - no PPT look, no commercial illustration, no childish cuteness, no complex architecture diagram, no top-left type-title Invent a fresh metaphor for every prompt. Do not reuse a metaphor from a previous image unless the user explicitly asks to reuse or remix one. ### 4. Check and iterate Run `references/qa-checklist.md`. Regenerate or do a local edit if: - the peanut is only decorative - the canvas is too full - it looks like a flowchart or slide - there is too much text or garbled text - a type-title appears in the top-left corner - the style drifts cute, childish, or stiff - a second accent color crept in, or the background is not clean white ### 5. Add the watermark After choosing the final generated image, add the exact watermark locally before reporting it: ```text © peanut-illustrations-by-aish ``` Use `scripts/add_watermark.py` so the text is exact and does not depend on the image model. Keep the watermark small, black, low-prominence, and tucked into the bottom-right quiet margin. It is not a concept label and does not count toward the label limit. Do not use the warm-orange accent for the watermark. ### 6. Save and report If working inside a workspace, copy the final image to: ```text assets/-illustrations/ ``` Name in order: ```text 01-topic-name.png 02-topic-name.png ``` Keep the original generated file and the unwatermarked generated source. Do not overwrite existing assets unless the user asks to replace them. ## Output register Keep the pre-generation "compose" note short and concrete. After generating, report: - how many images were made - what each one is - the save path Let the image do the talking; do not lecture about style theory.
