Canghe Article Illustrator

This takes an article and figures out where illustrations would actually help, then generates them with a two-axis system: type (infographic, scene, flowchart, etc.) and style (minimal, blueprint, watercolor, etc.). The workflow is methodical: it analyzes your content, asks you to confirm settings in one go, creates an outline with specific positions and purposes for each image, then generates prompts and images. Everything gets saved to a structured directory with prompt files, so you can regenerate or tweak individual images later. The EXTEND.md config system means you can set project or user-level defaults. It's built for turning text-heavy articles into something visually coherent without manually deciding where images go or what they should look like.
