.

Output And Evidence

Write workflow artifacts under

output/alicloud-solution-content-article-illustrator//

.

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

alicloud-ai-image-qwen-image

and

alicloud-ai-image-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

alicloud-ai-image-qwen-image

by default.

If needed, use the selected edit backend for one repair pass per image. Recommend

alicloud-ai-image-qwen-image-edit

by default.

Write

article.with-images.md

with relative

images/...

Markdown links.

Save evidence and produce

delivery-report.md

.
