When to Use
Trigger this skill when the user asks to create an infographic, visual summary, information graphic, or uses terms like "信息图", "可视化", or "高密度信息大图". The user provides content (text, file path, URL, or topic) and optionally specifies layout, style, aspect ratio, or language.

Keyword Shortcuts
When user input contains these keywords, auto-select the associated layout and offer associated styles as top recommendations in Step 3. Skip content-based layout inference for matched keywords.
If a shortcut has Prompt Notes, append them to the generated prompt (Step 5) as additional style instructions.

landscape | Minimalist: clean canvas, ample whitespace, no complex background textures. Simple cartoon elements and icons only. |
Output Structure
infographic/{topic-slug}/
├── source-{slug}.{ext}
├── analysis.md
├── structured-content.md
├── prompts/infographic.md
└── infographic.png
Slug: 2-4 words kebab-case from topic. Conflict: append -YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.
Core Principles
- Preserve source data faithfully — no summarization or rephrasing (but strip any credentials, API keys, tokens, or secrets before including in outputs)
- Define learning objectives before structuring content
- Structure for visual communication (headlines, labels, visual elements)
Workflow
Step 1: Analyze Content
Load references: Read references/analysis-framework.md from this skill.
- Save source content (file path or paste →
source.mdusingwrite_file)- Backup rule: If
source.mdexists, rename tosource-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md
- Backup rule: If
- Analyze: topic, data type, complexity, tone, audience
- Detect source language and user language
- Extract design instructions from user input
- Save analysis to
analysis.md- Backup rule: If
analysis.mdexists, rename toanalysis-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md
- Backup rule: If
See references/analysis-framework.md for detailed format.
Step 2: Generate Structured Content → structured-content.md
Transform content into infographic structure:
- Title and learning objectives
- Sections with: key concept, content (verbatim), visual element, text labels
- Data points (all statistics/quotes copied exactly)
- Design instructions from user
Rules: Markdown only. No new information. Preserve data faithfully. Strip any credentials or secrets from output.
See references/structured-content-template.md for detailed format.
Step 3: Recommend Combinations
3.1 Check Keyword Shortcuts first: If user input matches a keyword from the Keyword Shortcuts table, auto-select the associated layout and prioritize associated styles as top recommendations. Skip content-based layout inference.
3.2 Otherwise, recommend 3-5 layout×style combinations based on:
- Data structure → matching layout
- Content tone → matching style
- Audience expectations
- User design instructions
Step 4: Confirm Options
Use the clarify tool to confirm options with the user. Since clarify handles one question at a time, ask the most important question first:
Q1 — Combination: Present 3+ layout×style combos with rationale. Ask user to pick one.
Q2 — Aspect: Ask for aspect ratio preference (landscape/portrait/square or custom W:H).
Q3 — Language (only if source ≠ user language): Ask which language the text content should use.
Step 5: Generate Prompt → prompts/infographic.md
Backup rule: If prompts/infographic.md exists, rename to prompts/infographic-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md
Load references: Read the selected layout from references/layouts/<layout>.md and style from references/styles/<style>.md.
Combine:
- Layout definition from
references/layouts/<layout>.md - Style definition from
references/styles/<style>.md - Base template from
references/base-prompt.md - Structured content from Step 2
- All text in confirmed language
Aspect ratio resolution for {{ASPECT_RATIO}}:
- Named presets → ratio string: landscape→
16:9, portrait→9:16, square→1:1 - Custom W:H ratios → use as-is (e.g.,
3:4,4:3,2.35:1)
Save the assembled prompt to prompts/infographic.md using write_file.
Step 6: Generate Image
Use the image_generate tool with the assembled prompt from Step 5.
- Map aspect ratio to image_generate's format:
16:9→landscape,9:16→portrait,1:1→square - For custom ratios, pick the closest named aspect
- On failure, auto-retry once
- Save the resulting image URL/path to the output directory
Step 7: Output Summary
Report: topic, layout, style, aspect, language, output path, files created.

Pitfalls
-
-
Verification
-
-
- Data integrity is paramount — never summarize, paraphrase, or alter source statistics. "73% increase" must stay "73% increase", not "significant increase".
- Strip secrets — always scan source content for API keys, tokens, or credentials before including in any output file.
- One message per section — each infographic section should convey one clear concept. Overloading sections reduces readability.
- Style consistency — the style definition from the references file must be applied consistently across the entire infographic. Don't mix styles.
- image_generate aspect ratios — the tool only supports
landscape,portrait, andsquare. Custom ratios like3:4should map to the nearest option (portrait in that case).
