Ian Xiaohei Illustrations

Overview

Ian Xiaohei Illustrations is a Codex Skill that guides AI agents to generate body illustrations for Chinese articles, posts, blogs, Notion documents, and methodology content. It is not a generic illustration prompt or a PPT infographic template. Its core approach is to first understand cognitive anchors in an article, then turn one judgment, process, structure, state, or metaphor into a memorable 16:9 hand-drawn explainer image. The default visual IP is Xiaohei: a solid black character with white dot eyes, thin legs, and a blank expression that must take part in how the system works. It is made by Ian, a product designer exploring possibilities for tomorrow.
