What it does
Article Illustrations is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Generate hand-drawn 16:9 article illustrations with the Grav character IP, sparse annotations, and absurd but clear visual metaphors.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Media & Creative. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1e53ce2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Article Illustrations loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 666 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Article Illustrations — Grav Hand-Drawn Style
Overview
Generate 16:9 landscape hand-drawn illustrations for articles, blog posts, and technical content. Each illustration captures one cognitive anchor point from an article and turns it into a clean, absurd, memorable whiteboard-sketch explanation.
The skill uses a recurring character IP called Grav: a small, round, always-floating figure with dot eyes and a thin antenna. Grav participates in the core action of every illustration — never just decoration.
Repository: vipin-si/article-illustrations
When to Use This Skill
- Use when writing articles, blog posts, or documentation that need inline illustrations
- Use when you want to turn abstract concepts into concrete visual metaphors
- Use when you want a consistent visual language across multiple articles
- Use when you need hand-drawn explanation sketches, not PPT infographics
How It Works
Step 1: Digest the Article
Read the article and identify cognitive anchor points — core judgments, turning points, input/output loops, before/after contrasts, and common pitfalls. Don't distribute illustrations evenly; prioritize moments that benefit from visual explanation.
Step 2: Plan a Shot List
For each illustration, define:
- Placement: After which section
- Theme: What this image is about
- Core Meaning: The one idea it conveys
- Structure Type: One of 8 composition patterns (Workflow, System Closeup, Before/After, Role States, Conceptual Metaphor, Layered Method, Map Route, Mini Comic)
- Grav's Action: What Grav is doing in the scene
- Annotation Labels: 3–5 short English labels
Step 3: Generate Images
Use the generate_image tool with the built-in prompt template. Each image follows strict style rules:
- Pure white background, no textures
- Black hand-drawn line art with slight wobble
- Sparse red/orange/blue handwritten annotations
- Grav always floating (never touching surfaces)
- One core idea per image
- 40–60% canvas usage, 35%+ whitespace
Step 4: QA Check
Verify each image against the QA checklist: correct format, Grav present and active, original metaphor, clean composition, sparse annotations, correct color usage.
Examples
Example 1: Plan illustrations for an article
Analyze this article and create a shot list of 5 illustrations.
Don't generate images yet — just plan which cognitive anchor points
deserve illustrations and what each image should convey.
<paste article>Example 2: Generate illustrations directly
Generate 4 Grav-style illustrations for this article.
Requirements: 16:9 landscape, pure white background, black hand-drawn
line art, sparse red/orange/blue English annotations.
<paste article>Example 3: Single concept illustration
Generate one 16:9 illustration for this concept:
"Trust isn't declared — it's built one piece of evidence at a time."
Grav must perform the core action. Maximum 5 annotation labels.Example 4: Iterate on a result
This illustration is on the right track, but Grav feels like decoration.
Keep the core meaning but regenerate: make Grav the one actually
driving the structure.Visual Style
| Element | Rule |
|---|---|
| Background | Pure white — no cream, texture, gradients, or shadows |
| Line art | Black, hand-drawn, slightly wobbly, not mechanical |
| Whitespace | Main subject 40–60% of canvas, 35%+ empty space |
| Annotations | Handwritten English, 2–5 words each, max 5–8 per image |
| Color: Black | Main line art, characters, structures, objects |
| Color: Red | Key highlights, problems, warnings, results |
| Color: Orange | Main flow, paths, arrows, direction |
| Color: Blue | Supplementary notes, feedback, system state |
| Prohibited | Green, purple, yellow, pink, gradients, drop shadows, 3D, realistic UI |
Show full SKILL.md (261 more words)Show less
Character: Grav
- Small round body (pebble/potato shape)
- Two dot eyes (slightly asymmetric)
- One thin bent antenna with tiny circle tip
- Thin stick legs that dangle without touching surfaces
- Always hovering — visible gap between Grav and any surface
- Expression: calm, focused, deadpan
- Role: active participant in the system, never decoration
Best Practices
- ✅ Start with a shot list before generating images
- ✅ Invent a new metaphor for every illustration — never reuse compositions
- ✅ Make Grav the action protagonist, not a bystander
- ✅ Keep it absurd but structurally clear
- ✅ Use color sparingly — when in doubt, use black
- ❌ Don't make PPT infographics or formal flowcharts
- ❌ Don't add title bars or decorative frames
- ❌ Don't let Grav touch the ground or stand on surfaces
- ❌ Don't make Grav cute, smiling, or emoji-like
Limitations
- Requires access to an image-generation tool that can follow composition, line-art, and annotation constraints.
- The recurring Grav character style can drift between generations; verify every output against the QA checklist.
- Text in generated images may be misspelled or distorted, so short labels and post-generation review are required.
- The style is intended for explanatory article illustrations, not photorealistic product imagery or brand-final artwork.
Common Pitfalls
Problem: Illustration looks like a PPT slide Solution: Remove 30% of elements, increase whitespace, make it weirder
Problem: Grav is just standing next to the action Solution: Redesign so Grav IS the mechanism — becomes the funnel, dangles from the lever, is suspended inside the machine
Problem: Same metaphor as a previous illustration Solution: Replace the physical object entirely — same concept, different analogy
