Suggestions and their limits

Describes the proposed purpose and review output; measured benefit and successful delivery are not established.

Editorial synthesis based on the linked source. This framing does not add evidence of successful delivery or results.

Before you try it · suggestions untested

Source-derived guidance is attributed and budgeted. The fictional check and proposed oversight do not establish execution, generated quality or customer outcomes.

Read the attributed source evidence and original caveats below ↓

Why use this

  1. Passage-specific visuals can clarify relationships.

  2. Unnecessary images remain optional.

Why an agent / simpler alternative

Useful judgment

Choose visuals that preserve meaning.

Simpler alternative

Use one editor-selected diagram or existing licensed illustration when only a single passage needs support.

Unsuitable when

The article’s facts are unresolved, source rights are unclear, or exact scientific diagrams require expert construction and validation.

Expected deliverable and review checks

Proposed artifact

Illustrated review copy and placement checklist.

Critical checks

  1. Useful additions.

  2. Unchanged quantities.

  3. Working links and descriptive alternatives.

Missing output evidence

No completed deliverable from this recipe was inspected.

First check — proposed, unexecuted

Status

proposed_unexecuted

Synthetic fixture

Use an invented article explaining a three-bin community tool-lending process. One paragraph contrasts returns with repairs, and another contains an explicitly hypothetical two-day queue. Prepare a placement checklist only.

Acceptance checks

  1. Separate returns and repairs.

  2. Keep hypotheticals labelled.

  3. Justify omitted illustrations.

Stop conditions

  1. Stop before generating images, uploading text or editing a published article.

  2. Stop if a visual requires an unsupported factual assertion.
