Put the cover under the lamp. Each of the five things that made it work is a layer you can switch on: the words, the grid it sits on, the colours it uses, the subject, the light.

Keep all five layers and swap what’s under them: your shop, your budget, your city. You get four covers and the post text.

Based on the reference cover's composition, visual metaphor, and thumbnail readability for WeChat public-account articles, generate a new horizontal WeChat public-account cover. Output size: 1456x582, ratio about 2.5:1; the core subject and any essential title info must also work within WeChat's safe square crop. WeChat article title: {fill in the WeChat article title} Intro: {fill in the intro} Original cover approach: $155 vs $15: After a month with Codex, it replaced my Claude Code, style dual-skill. Create a horizontal WeChat public-account article cover, 2.35:1 aspect ratio, for an article titled "$155 vs $15: After a Month with Codex, It Replaced My Claude Code". Central concept: visualize abstract tool capabilities as interface windows, code snippets, node networks, control panels, AI workflows, or a glowing system core. Style: preserve the reference cover's visual direction: black-and-white or low-saturation editorial illustration/photo. Use a palette inspired by #fefefe (white), #f4f6f5 (white), #fafcfb (white), #949b9f (gray). Keep the image editorial, conceptual, and readable as a small WeChat thumbnail. Composition: lots of white space, suitable for a big headline, a few icons, and a clear left-text/right-image or centered-headline layout. Keep the main subject and any essential title text inside the safe square crop, while using the full wide frame for atmosphere, secondary symbols, or directional motion. Text strategy: use either no text or a very short headline fragment from the title. If text is used, make it large, clean, and integrated into the layout rather than pasted on top. Mood: match the article skill "$155 vs $15 after a month with Codex... style dual-skill" -- useful, sharp, high-signal, and slightly more memorable than a normal tutorial thumbnail. Avoid: photorealistic clutter unless the source cover is photo-led, fake logos, unreadable tiny text, generic gradient blobs, stock-office imagery, watermark-like marks, and literal screenshots unless the article is explicitly about software interfaces.
