Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Content & Select Style/Layout

Read content
If --style specified, use that style; otherwise auto-select
If --layout specified, use that layout; otherwise auto-select per image
Determine image count:
- Simple topic: 2-3 images
- Medium complexity: 4-6 images
- Deep dive: 7-10 images

Step 2: Generate Outline

Plan for each image with style and layout specifications. Save as outline.md:

# Xiaohongshu Infographic Series Outline

**Topic**: [topic]
**Style**: [selected style]
**Default Layout**: [selected layout or "varies"]
**Image Count**: N
**Generated**: YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm

Content Breakdown Principles

Cover (Image 1): Strong visual impact, core title, attention hook → sparse layout
Content (Middle): Core points per image, density varies by content
Ending (Last): Summary / call-to-action / memorable quote → sparse or balanced

Image generation typically takes 10-30 seconds per image
Auto-retry once on generation failure
Use cartoon alternatives for sensitive public figures
Output language matches input content language
Maintain selected style consistency across all images in series
