Skill: Visual Brief + Image Generation
Trigger
- After generating a post (especially Angle 2: Framework/Mental Model)
- User says "Create a visual for this post"
- Any post containing a framework, matrix, comparison, or tiered concept
Visual Signature (AllAboutPMM Brand)
The visual must match Sourav's established style from data/user/visuals/. Key characteristics:
Layout Patterns (pick the one that fits the post's content)
| Pattern |
When to Use |
Example |
| Matrix / Quadrant |
Comparing 2 dimensions (e.g., "Two ways of positioning agentic AI") |
2-column layout with headers, pros/cons, examples |
| Tiered Progression |
Levels, hierarchy, or good/better/best (e.g., "Six Levels of Problem-Solving") |
Stacked horizontal bars, ascending left-to-right or bottom-to-top |
| Concentric Circles |
Nested concepts, zooming in/out (e.g., "Positioning as concentric dials") |
Bullseye diagram with labels at each ring |
| Decision Tree / Branch |
Choices, paths, or "what approach?" (e.g., "What's the right category approach?") |
Central question branching to 2-3 options with color-coded backgrounds |
| Stacked Cards |
Sequential progression (e.g., "Clear → Compelling → Unique") |
Vertical stack of labeled boxes with directional arrows |
| Checklist Infographic |
Lists with structure (e.g., corporate trajectory steps) |
Left-aligned labels with right-aligned descriptions, color-coded rows |
| Quote Card |
One powerful insight, punchy line (e.g., "As ideas get cheaper, decisions get more expensive") |
Large bold text on solid color background with keyword highlights |
Color Palette
- Primary backgrounds: Warm muted pastels — sage green (#C5E1A5), dusty rose/pink (#F8BBD0), cream/off-white (#FFF8E1), golden yellow (#FFF59D), soft teal
- Accent backgrounds: Soft lavender, light blue (#BBDEFB), lime green (#DCEDC8)
- Bold accents (sparingly): Deep blue/indigo (#3F51B5), vibrant purple (#7C4DFF) — for emphasis bars or headers
- Text: Black or very dark gray on light backgrounds. White on dark accent bars.
- Each row/section in a tiered layout gets a DIFFERENT pastel color — this is a signature trait
Typography
- Headers: Bold display font, large (the main concept in 3-6 words)
- Sub-headers/labels: Bold sans-serif, medium, often inside tag-shaped or pill-shaped containers
- Body text: Clean sans-serif, regular weight, smaller
- Keyword emphasis: Highlighted words in contrasting pill/tag backgrounds (pink highlight on yellow, blue highlight on cream)
Brand Mark
- "AllAboutPMM" logo/text in bottom-right corner
- Clean, professional — not decorative
Design Principles
- Generous white space — never cramped
- One concept per image — if the post has 3 ideas, pick the ONE most visual
- Information hierarchy is crystal clear — viewer gets the main point in 2 seconds
- Framework structure is visible — the layout itself communicates the relationship between concepts
- No decorative illustrations, icons, or stock imagery — pure information design
Process
Step 1: Analyze the Post
Read the post and identify:
- The core concept that would benefit from visualization
- The structural relationship (hierarchy? comparison? progression? branching?)
- The key labels/terms that need to appear
- Any data points that should be visualized
Step 2: Select Layout Pattern
Match the concept to one of the 7 layout patterns above. Pick the BEST fit, not the most complex.
Step 3: Generate the Visual Brief
Produce a structured brief with:
VISUAL BRIEF
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Layout: [Pattern name]
Title: [Main header text — 3-6 words, bold]
Subtitle: [Optional — one line of context]
Sections:
1. [Label] — [Description] — [Color: e.g., dusty rose]
2. [Label] — [Description] — [Color: e.g., sage green]
3. [Label] — [Description] — [Color: e.g., golden yellow]
Emphasis: [Which word/phrase gets a highlight pill]
Brand: AllAboutPMM — bottom right
Dimensions: 1200x1200 (square, LinkedIn optimized)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Step 4: Generate the Image
Use the visual brief to generate an image. The prompt to the image generation tool should:
- Reference the specific layout pattern with spatial instructions
- Specify exact colors using the palette above
- Include all text content that should appear in the image
- Mandate the style: clean infographic, no illustrations, no icons, no stock art, generous white space, bold typography, pastel color blocks
- Include "AllAboutPMM" branding in bottom-right corner
- Specify 1200x1200 square format for LinkedIn
Image Generation Prompt Template
Create a clean, modern infographic for LinkedIn (1200x1200 square).
LAYOUT: [Pattern — e.g., "tiered horizontal bars ascending left-to-right"]
TITLE: "[Header text]" in large bold black sans-serif font at the top
[Describe each section with exact text, colors, and spatial positioning]
STYLE: Warm muted pastels (sage green, dusty rose, cream, golden yellow).
Each section uses a different pastel color block. Bold sans-serif typography.
Generous white space. No icons, no illustrations, no decorative elements.
Pure information design. "AllAboutPMM" in small text, bottom-right corner.
Step 5: Present to User
Show:
- The visual brief (text)
- The generated image
- Ask: "Want me to adjust the layout, colors, or content?"
When NOT to Generate a Visual
- Pure opinion posts with no structural concept
- Story-led posts (Angle 3) that rely on narrative, not frameworks
- Short posts under 500 characters
- Posts where the insight is in the LANGUAGE, not the STRUCTURE
Reference Images
Always check data/user/visuals/ for style calibration before generating. Key references:

- Concentric circles:
