Autohome Car Series Report

Problem Being Solved

When a user asks about a specific car series, such as BYD Qin PLUS DM-i, directly generating HTML, SVG, or simulated API responses in chat can lead to unstable data, formatting drift, and exposed intermediate steps. This skill moves report generation into generate_report.py, where the script handles API calls, data processing, radar-chart calculation, and page rendering.

How It Works

• Extract the series name: strip model year, trim, and conversational wording to get the core series name.
• Use the script as the source of truth: replace {{SERIES_NAME}} and run the script instead of hand-writing long HTML or SVG blocks.
• Parallel fetching: the series search call runs serially, while reputation and pricing calls run via ThreadPoolExecutor to reduce network round-trips.
• Render an HTML report: output car_report.html with basic information, trims, user reputation, dealer pricing, and same-class competitors.

Boundaries

It is intended for detail reports on a named car series, not for recommendations such as "SUVs under 100k" or comparisons such as "A vs B." If the script reports insufficient data, respond only with the fixed fallback note and a short textual summary. If the series cannot be recognized, ask the user to confirm the full name. Style or data changes should be made by editing the script and rerunning it, not by assembling temporary output in the answer.
