| Content Type | Layout + Style | |--------------|----------------| | Timeline/History | linear-progression + craft-handmade | | Step-by-step | linear-progression + ikea-manual | | A vs B | binary-comparison + corporate-memphis | | Hierarchy | hierarchical-layers + craft-handmade | | Overlap | venn-diagram + craft-handmade | | Conversion | funnel + corporate-memphis | | Cycles | circular-flow + craft-handmade | | Technical | structural-breakdown + technical-schematic | | Metrics | dashboard + corporate-memphis | | Educational | bento-grid + chalkboard | | Journey | winding-roadmap + storybook-watercolor | | Categories | periodic-table + bold-graphic | | Product Guide | dense-modules + morandi-journal | | Technical Guide | dense-modules + pop-laboratory | | Trendy Guide | dense-modules + retro-pop-grid |

Default: bento-grid + craft-handmade

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.

| User Keyword | Layout | Recommended Styles | Default Aspect | Prompt Notes | |--------------|--------|--------------------|----------------|--------------| | 高密度信息大图 / high-density-info | dense-modules | morandi-journal, pop-laboratory, retro-pop-grid | portrait | — | | 信息图 / infographic | bento-grid | craft-handmade | 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 all source data verbatim—no summarization or rephrasing
• Define learning objectives before structuring content
• Structure for visual communication (headlines, labels, visual elements)

Workflow

Step 1: Setup & Analyze

1.1 Load Preferences (EXTEND.md)

Use Bash to check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):

# Check project-level first
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-infographic/EXTEND.md && echo "project"

# Then user-level (cross-platform: $HOME works on macOS/Linux/WSL)
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-infographic/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────┬───────────────────┐ │ Path │ Location │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────────┤ │ .baoyu-skills/baoyu-infographic/EXTEND.md │ Project directory │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────────┤ │ $HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-infographic/EXTEND.md │ User home │ └────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴───────────────────┘

┌───────────┬───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ Result │ Action │ ├───────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Found │ Read, parse, display summary │ ├───────────┼───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤ │ Not found │ Ask user with AskUserQuestion (see references/config/first-time-setup.md) │ └───────────┴───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

EXTEND.md Supports: Preferred layout/style | Default aspect ratio | Custom style definitions | Language preference

Schema: references/config/preferences-schema.md

1.2 Analyze Content → analysis.md

1. Save source content (file path or paste → source.md)
   • Backup rule: If source.md exists, rename to source-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md
2. Analyze: topic, data type, complexity, tone, audience
3. Detect source language and user language
4. Extract design instructions from user input
5. Save analysis
   • Backup rule: If analysis.md exists, rename to analysis-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md

See references/analysis-framework.md for detailed format.

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

Transform content into infographic structure:

1. Title and learning objectives
2. Sections with: key concept, content (verbatim), visual element, text labels
3. Data points (all statistics/quotes copied exactly)
4. Design instructions from user

Rules: Markdown only. No new information. All data verbatim.

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 single AskUserQuestion call with multiple questions to confirm all options together:

| Question | When | Options | |----------|------|---------| | Combination | Always | 3+ layout×style combos with rationale | | Aspect | Always | landscape (16:9), portrait (9:16), square (1:1) | | Language | Only if source ≠ user language | Language for text content |

Important: Do NOT split into separate AskUserQuestion calls. Combine all applicable questions into one call.

Step 5: Generate Prompt → prompts/infographic.md

Backup rule: If prompts/infographic.md exists, rename to prompts/infographic-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md

Combine:

1. Layout definition from references/layouts/<layout>.md
2. Style definition from references/styles/<style>.md
3. Base template from references/base-prompt.md
4. Structured content from Step 2
5. All text in confirmed language

Step 6: Generate Image

1. Select available image generation skill (ask user if multiple)
2. Check for existing file: Before generating, check if infographic.png exists
   • If exists: Rename to infographic-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.png
3. Call with prompt file and output path
4. On failure, auto-retry once

Step 7: Output Summary

Report: topic, layout, style, aspect, language, output path, files created.
