Science Illustration Generator for Kids

Problem it addresses

When explaining “why” questions to children, the challenge is not just finding an answer, but making it accurate, short, and visual for ages 3-8. This skill turns a natural-language question into an illustrated science image with concise Chinese text, reducing manual copywriting, image sourcing, and layout work.

How it works

The main input is question, with optional aspect_ratio; the default is 3:4, and other ratios such as 16:9 or 1:1 are also supported. The workflow is asynchronous:
- Input validation and parameter assembly: cleans the required question and optional ratio before submission.
- Compliance check: verifies whether the question is suitable for children's content.
- Prompt templating: inserts the question into a fixed template emphasizing Chinese output, minimal text, and age-appropriate precision for ages 3-8.
- Async generation: submits an image-generation task and receives a task_id without blocking.
- Polling and delivery: queries task status until the final image URL is available, then can render a simple HTML preview.

Boundaries and notes

• The skill uses a forced async task flow and does not support synchronous image return.
• Without showapi_appkey, it may enter a mock mode that only previews results, not real generation.
• question should be specific; broad questions may reduce accuracy.
• The output is image-first, with short text suited to children's books, short-video covers, or social-media science posts.
