After photographing ancient architecture in Datong, the author open-sourced Yingzao, an agent skill that converts mediocre travel photos into magazine-quality architecture posters.
- Extracts the building as the subject, then adds typographic design, founding-year callouts, vertical titles, paper textures, and分区-style color grading
- Differentiator: a full Design Token system with dozens of validated style recipes, each with its own font lineage, material hierarchy, palette, and layout skeleton
- Analyzes each photo first (perspective, framing, lighting) before picking a recipe; before/after comparisons are striking
