illo skill gives your agent a repeatable way to turn a topic, article, or rough idea into a finished illustration prompt. It ships as a skill plus plugin manifests, so you can install it into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Grok, or other agents and use the same illustration system across them.
Builders who want their agent to create editorial illustrations, character art, or diagram-style visuals from prompts.
You can turn a plain idea into a reusable illustration brief with a consistent mascot and style.
Uses a named mascot across illustrations so outputs feel connected instead of one-off.
Includes 30+ character packs and lets you create your own packs.
Shows example prompts like `/illo we replatform with zero downtime` and `/illo stuck → slice → shipped as a mini-comic`.
Provides install paths for Claude Code, Codex, Grok, Gemini CLI, Copilot, Cursor, and other agents.
Ships as a reusable skill in `skills/illo` with supporting manifests and docs.
