What is this?
This is a pair of AI image-generation Skills for OpenAI Codex that turn an ordinary photo into a minimalist, paper-zine-style artwork — either keeping the real photo as an anchor or fully reinventing it as original illustration.

Each skill also returns a short creation note explaining what was kept and what was transformed, with the exact output rules defined in that skill's own SKILL.md.What visual style are these skills aiming for?A restrained, tactile 'paper zine' look built on five principles: real scenes as the factual anchor, illustration extending unstated space, color as structure, white space as breathing room, and torn edges plus ink imperfections as texture.
