Pass criteria: command exits 0 and output/aliyun-solution-article-illustrator/compile-check.json is generated with "status": "pass".
Output And Evidence
- Write workflow artifacts under
output/aliyun-solution-article-illustrator/<topic-slug>/.
- Save at least:
source.md, outline.md, one prompt file, generated images, article.with-images.md, and delivery-report.md.
- Keep evidence for prompt-before-generation ordering and any edit pass used during repair.
Prerequisites
- A source Markdown article.
- A generation backend that satisfies
references/backend-contract.md.
- If you want repository-default behavior, prefer
aliyun-qwen-image and aliyun-qwen-image-edit.
- Optional
EXTEND.md preferences at project or user scope.
Workflow
- Pre-check preferences and references, including project-level or user-level
EXTEND.md.
- Analyze the source Markdown article and identify candidate illustration positions.
- Confirm settings in one batch: Type, Density, Style, optional Language, and output size.
- Choose or recommend a backend and build
outline.md.
- Save prompt files before any generation step.
- Use the selected generation backend for first-pass images. Recommend
aliyun-qwen-image by default.
- If needed, use the selected edit backend for one repair pass per image. Recommend
aliyun-qwen-image-edit by default.
- Write
article.with-images.md with relative images/... Markdown links.
- Save evidence and produce
delivery-report.md.
