Style Gallery

Detailed style definitions: references/styles/<style>.md

Recommended Combinations

Based on content analysis, the system recommends 3-5 layout×style combinations:

Default combination: bento-grid + craft-handmade

File Structure

Each session creates an independent directory:

infographic/{topic-slug}/
├── source-{slug}.{ext}             # Source files
├── analysis.md                     # Deep content analysis
├── structured-content.md           # Instructional content structure
├── prompts/
│   └── infographic.md              # Generated prompt
└── infographic.png                 # Output image

Slug Generation:

1. Extract main topic from content (2-4 words, kebab-case)
2. Example: "Machine Learning Basics" → ml-basics

Conflict Resolution: If infographic/{topic-slug}/ already exists:

• Append timestamp: {topic-slug}-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS
• Example: ml-basics exists → ml-basics-20260120-103052

Instructional Design Approach

This skill applies a world-class instructional designer mindset to infographic creation:

1. Deep Understanding: Read and comprehend the source material thoroughly
2. Learning Objectives: Identify what the viewer should understand after seeing the infographic
3. Information Architecture: Structure content for maximum clarity and retention
4. Visual Storytelling: Use visuals to communicate complex ideas accessibly
5. Verbatim Data: Preserve all source data exactly as written—no summarization or rephrasing of facts

Workflow

Step 1: Analyze Content → analysis.md

Read source content and perform deep instructional analysis.

Actions:

1. Save source content (if not already a file):

- If user provides a file path: use as-is - If user pastes content: save to source.md in target directory

1. Deep reading:

- Read the entire document thoroughly - Develop deep understanding before proceeding - Identify the core message and purpose

1. Content analysis: Aspect Questions to Answer Main Topic What is this content fundamentally about? Data Type Timeline? Hierarchy? Comparison? Process? Relationships? Complexity Simple (3-5 points) or complex (6-10+ points)? Tone Technical, educational, playful, serious, persuasive? Audience Who is the intended viewer? What do they already know?
2. Language detection:

- Detect source language from content - Detect user language from conversation - Note if source_language ≠ user_language (will ask in Step 4)

1. Extract design instructions from user input:

- Style preferences (colors, mood, aesthetic) - Layout preferences (structure, organization) - Any specific visual requirements - Separate these from content—they go in the Design Instructions section

1. Save to analysis.md

Analysis Output Format:

---
title: "[Main topic title]"
topic: "[Category: educational/technical/business/etc.]"
data_type: "[timeline/hierarchy/comparison/process/etc.]"
complexity: "[simple/moderate/complex]"
source_language: "[detected language]"
user_language: "[user's language]"
---

## Main Topic
[1-2 sentence summary of what this content is about]

## Learning Objectives
After viewing this infographic, the viewer should understand:
1. [Primary objective]
2. [Secondary objective]
3. [Tertiary objective if applicable]

## Target Audience
- **Knowledge Level**: [Beginner/Intermediate/Expert]
- **Context**: [Why they're viewing this]
- **Expectations**: [What they hope to learn]

## Content Type Analysis
- **Data Structure**: [How information relates to itself]
- **Key Relationships**: [What connects to what]
- **Visual Opportunities**: [What can be shown rather than told]

[Any style, color, layout, or visual preferences extracted from user's steering prompt]

Step 2: Generate Structured Content → structured-content.md

Transform analyzed content into a structured format for the infographic designer.

Instructional Design Process:

1. Create high-level outline:

- Title that captures the essence - List all main learning objectives - Identify the logical flow

1. Flesh out each section:

- For each learning objective, create a section - Mix conceptual explanations with practical elements - Preserve all source data verbatim—do not summarize or rephrase

1. Structure for visual communication:

- Identify what becomes a headline - Identify what becomes supporting text - Identify what becomes a visual element - Identify data points, statistics, or quotes

Critical Rules:

Structured Content Format:

# [Infographic Title]

## Overview
[Brief description of what this infographic conveys]

## Learning Objectives
The viewer will understand:
1. [Objective 1]
2. [Objective 2]
3. [Objective 3]

---

## Section 1: [Section Title]

**Key Concept**: [One-sentence summary]

**Content**:
- [Point 1 - verbatim from source]
- [Point 2 - verbatim from source]
- [Point 3 - verbatim from source]

**Visual Element**: [What to show visually]

**Text Labels**:
- Headline: "[Exact text for headline]"
- Subhead: "[Exact text for subhead]"
- Labels: "[Label 1]", "[Label 2]", ...

---

## Section 2: [Section Title]
[Continue pattern...]

---

## Data Points (Verbatim)
[All statistics, numbers, quotes exactly as they appear in source]
- "[Exact quote or statistic 1]"
- "[Exact quote or statistic 2]"

---

## Design Instructions
[Extracted from user's steering prompt]
- Style: [preferences]
- Colors: [preferences]
- Layout: [preferences]
- Other: [any other visual requirements]

Step 3: Generate Layout×Style Recommendations

Based on analysis and structured content, recommend 3-5 combinations.

Selection Criteria:

Format each recommendation:

[Layout] + [Style]: [Brief rationale based on content analysis]

Step 4: Confirm Options

IMPORTANT: Present ALL options in a single confirmation step using AskUserQuestion.

Questions to ask:

AskUserQuestion format:

Question 1 (Combination) - always:

• Option A (Recommended): [layout] + [style] - [brief rationale]
• Option B: [layout] + [style] - [brief rationale]
• Option C: [layout] + [style] - [brief rationale]
• Custom: Specify your own layout and/or style

Question 2 (Aspect) - always:

• landscape (16:9, Recommended) - standard presentation
• portrait (9:16) - mobile/social media
• square (1:1) - social media posts

Question 3 (Language) - only if source ≠ user language:

• [Source language] (matches content)
• [User language] (your preference)

Language handling:

• If source language = user language: Just inform user
• If different: Ask which language to use for all text

Step 5: Generate Prompt → prompts/infographic.md

Create the image generation prompt.

Process:

1. Read layout definition from references/layouts/<layout>.md
2. Read style definition from references/styles/<style>.md
3. Read base prompt template from references/base-prompt.md
4. Combine with structured content from Step 2
5. All text in prompt uses confirmed language

Prompt Structure:

Topic: [main topic from analysis]
Layout: [selected layout]
Style: [selected style]
Aspect: [confirmed ratio]
Language: [confirmed language]

## Layout Guidelines
[From layout definition file]

## Style Guidelines
[From style definition file]

## Content to Visualize

### Learning Objectives
[From structured-content.md]

### Sections
[From structured-content.md - each section with its visual elements]

### Data Points (Verbatim)
[All exact statistics, quotes, and facts from source]

## Text Labels (in [language])
[All text that appears in the infographic, organized by section]

## Design Instructions
[Any specific visual requirements from user's steering prompt]
