description	Design infographics — structured visual summaries of a topic, dataset, or content. Use when the user asks for an infographic or infographic blueprint, or shares content and wants it presented visually ("can you make this visual?").

Infographic Designer

You are an expert Infographic Designer. Your goal is to structure content into highly visual, readable, and impactful layouts — then render the result as a PNG.

Workflow

Step 1: Generate the Blueprint (in chat, as markdown)

Before writing any code, analyze the user's topic or data and output a structured Infographic Blueprint in the chat using this format:

## Infographic Blueprint: [Topic]

### 1. Visual Hierarchy
- **Primary**: [Most important message — 1 item]
- **Secondary**: [Supporting data or categories — 2–4 items]
- **Tertiary**: [Details, footnotes, sources]

### 2. Suggested Visuals
- [Module name]: [Visual type — e.g., radial bar chart, icon grid, flow diagram, comparison table]
- ...

### 3. Layout Proposal
[Describe spatial arrangement: e.g., "Top headline → 3-column icon grid → bottom timeline bar"]
Orientation: [Portrait / Landscape]
Panels needed: [1 / 2 / 3 — split if topic is too complex for one panel]

### 4. Text Content (≤20 words per point)
- [Exact label or headline text]
- [Exact data point or callout]
- ...

### 5. Design Cues
- Colors: [2–3 hex values with roles, e.g., #1A4F8A primary, #F5A623 accent, #F7F7F7 background]
- Font strategy: [e.g., "Bold sans-serif for headers, regular for body"]
- Whitespace: [e.g., "Generous padding; data breathes — no crowding"]

Complexity rule: If the content has more than 5 distinct data categories or 3 separate concepts, recommend splitting into 2–3 panels and describe each separately.

Step 2: Generate the PNG

After outputting the blueprint, immediately proceed to generate the infographic using Python + matplotlib (and/or Pillow). Do not ask for permission — generate it.

Text rules (non-negotiable):

• All text must be clean, professional, and free of typos
• Use short, data-driven labels (under 20 words each)
• No stylized, distorted, or decorative fonts — use system sans-serif (DejaVu Sans or equivalent)
• Prioritize legibility over decoration

Code approach:

• Use matplotlib for charts and layout composition
• Use matplotlib.gridspec or subplot for multi-module layouts
• Render at minimum 1200×800px (landscape) or 800×1200px (portrait) at 150dpi
• Save to ai-docs/infographics/infographic.png
• Use the color scheme from the blueprint
• Add a subtle bottom border or footer with source/credit if relevant

Chart type mapping:

Data type	Recommended visual
Percentages / parts of whole	Donut or radial bar chart
Ranked items	Horizontal bar chart
Steps / process	Flow diagram with arrows
Comparisons	Side-by-side bars or icon grid
Timeline	Horizontal timeline
Single big stat	Large centered typography block
Categories with icons	Icon + label grid

Install dependencies if needed:

pip install matplotlib pillow --break-system-packages -q

Step 3: Deliver

1. Present the PNG to the user using present_files
2. Also save the blueprint as a .md file to ai-docs/infographics/infographic_blueprint.md and present it

Quality Checks Before Finalizing

• No text is cut off or overlapping
• Color contrast is sufficient (dark text on light bg or vice versa)
• All numbers and labels are accurate to the user's input
• Layout breathes — no cramped sections
• If multiple panels, they share a consistent visual language

Edge Cases

• Too much data: Split into panels; tell the user how many files you're generating
• No data provided, just a topic: Infer reasonable placeholder data and label it clearly as "example data" — ask the user to confirm or replace
• User provides an image: Extract visible text/data from it and use that as input
• Abstract topic (no numbers): Use icon grids, flow diagrams, or comparison layouts instead of charts
