Quick Start
Generate any infographic by simply describing it:
python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \
"5 benefits of regular exercise" \
-o figures/exercise_benefits.png --type list
python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \
"Product features comparison" \
-o figures/product_comparison.png --type comparison --doc-type marketing
python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \
"Company milestones 2010-2025" \
-o figures/timeline.png --type timeline --style corporate
python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \
"Heart disease statistics worldwide" \
-o figures/health_stats.png --type statistical --palette wong
python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \
"Global AI market size and growth projections" \
-o figures/ai_market.png --type statistical --research
What happens behind the scenes:
- (Optional) Research: Perplexity Sonar gathers accurate facts, statistics, and data
- Generation 1: Nano Banana Pro creates initial infographic following design best practices
- Review 1: Gemini 3 Pro evaluates quality against document-type threshold
- Decision: If quality >= threshold → DONE (no more iterations needed!)
- If below threshold: Improved prompt based on critique, regenerate
- Repeat: Until quality meets threshold OR max iterations reached
Smart Iteration Benefits:
- ✅ Saves API calls if first generation is good enough
- ✅ Higher quality standards for marketing materials
- ✅ Faster turnaround for drafts/internal use
- ✅ Appropriate quality for each use case
Output: Versioned images plus a detailed review log with quality scores, critiques, and early-stop information.
When to Use This Skill
Use the infographics skill when:
- Presenting data or statistics in a visual format
- Creating timeline visualizations for project milestones or history
- Explaining processes, workflows, or step-by-step guides
- Comparing options, products, or concepts side-by-side
- Summarizing key points in an engaging visual format
- Creating geographic or map-based data visualizations
- Building hierarchical or organizational charts
- Designing social media content or marketing materials
Use scientific-schematics instead for:
- Technical flowcharts and circuit diagrams
- Biological pathways and molecular diagrams
- Neural network architecture diagrams
- CONSORT/PRISMA methodology diagrams
Research Integration
Automatic Data Gathering (--research)
When creating infographics that require accurate, up-to-date data, use the --research flag to automatically gather facts and statistics using Perplexity Sonar Pro.

- Solution: Use
--palette wong for colorblind-safe colors
Problem: Quality score too low
- Solution: Increase iterations with
--iterations 3; use more specific prompt
Problem: Wrong infographic type generated
- Solution: Always specify
--type flag for consistent results
