Xiaohu open-sources 'Xiaohu IP Studio' with 31 original characters and an auto-illustration pipeline

小互开源个人IP配图技能"小互IP Studio"，含31个原创角色

Blogger Xiaohu released an open-source tool called 'Xiaohu IP Studio' that auto-generates illustrations for articles. It ships with 31 original characters—15 hand-drawn line-art figures and 16 pun-based meme images. The agent reads the article, decides on an illustration type (mood image, diagram, or four-panel comic), generates the image, and self-checks with rework if needed. The default style is hand-drawn line art with light color; five alternative skins are available, including 3D blind-box and black-and-white line art. Setup requires only Python 3, works with Claude Code or Codex, and needs an OpenAI-compatible image API key (defaults to GPT-image-2). You can also output prompts only and generate images manually.

Why it matters: A practical open-source tool release with a concrete workflow design and 31 original characters, directly valuable for AI content creators. But it's a personal project open-sourcing, not an industry-level event, so it stays at the featured threshold.
