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):

bash

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

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

┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────┬───────────────────┐ │ Path │ Location │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────────┤ │ .canghe-skills/canghe-infographic/EXTEND.md │ Project directory │ ├────────────────────────────────────────────────────┼───────────────────┤ │ $HOME/.canghe-skills/canghe-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

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

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:

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. All data verbatim.

See

references/structured-content-template.md

for detailed format.

Step 3: Recommend Combinations

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:

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

Step 6: Generate Image

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

Step 7: Output Summary

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