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 source data faithfully—no summarization or rephrasing (but strip any credentials, API keys, tokens, or secrets before including in outputs)
• 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)

Check EXTEND.md existence (priority order):

# macOS, Linux, WSL, Git Bash
test -f .baoyu-skills/baoyu-infographic/EXTEND.md && echo "project"
test -f "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config}/baoyu-skills/baoyu-infographic/EXTEND.md" && echo "xdg"
test -f "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-infographic/EXTEND.md" && echo "user"

# PowerShell (Windows)
if (Test-Path .baoyu-skills/baoyu-infographic/EXTEND.md) { "project" }
$xdg = if ($env:XDG_CONFIG_HOME) { $env:XDG_CONFIG_HOME } else { "$HOME/.config" }
if (Test-Path "$xdg/baoyu-skills/baoyu-infographic/EXTEND.md") { "xdg" }
if (Test-Path "$HOME/.baoyu-skills/baoyu-infographic/EXTEND.md") { "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. Preserve data faithfully. Strip any credentials or secrets from output.

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	Named presets (landscape/portrait/square) or custom W:H ratio (e.g., 3:4, 4:3, 2.35:1)
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

Aspect ratio resolution for {{ASPECT_RATIO}}:

• Named presets → ratio string: landscape→16:9, portrait→9:16, square→1:1
• Custom W:H ratios → use as-is (e.g., 3:4, 4:3, 2.35:1)

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.
