Whiteboard Infographic Skill

This skill enables the creation of high-quality, "hand-drawn" whiteboard infographics that are popular on LinkedIn. These infographics feature a clean, minimalist aesthetic with realistic dry-erase marker textures, sketchy boxes, and winding arrows.

Workflow

To create a whiteboard infographic, follow these steps:

1. Analyze Input: Determine the core topic and the structure of the information (e.g., a 5-step process, a 2x2 matrix, or a comparison).
2. Select Pattern: Choose the most appropriate design pattern from /home/ubuntu/skills/whiteboard-info/references/design_patterns.md.
3. Generate Prompt: Use the generate_prompt.py script to create a structured image generation prompt.

   echo '{"topic": "Your Topic", "steps": ["Step 1", "Step 2", "Step 3"]}' | python3 /home/ubuntu/skills/whiteboard-info/scripts/generate_prompt.py
   

4. Create Image: Use the generate tool with the generated prompt. Ensure the style is consistent with the "whiteboard" aesthetic.
5. Refine and Deliver: Review the generated image for clarity and visual appeal. If necessary, refine the prompt and regenerate.

Design Patterns

Pattern	Best For	Visual Structure
Sequential Process	Workflows, roadmaps, step-by-step guides	3-7 boxes connected by winding arrows in an S-curve.
Comparison	Before vs. After, Old Way vs. New Way	Side-by-side boxes with a vertical divider.
Framework	2x2 matrices, categorization	Four quadrants defined by two intersecting axes.
Central Concept	Mind maps, topic breakdowns	One central box with branches radiating to smaller boxes.

Prompting Guidelines

When generating the infographic, always include these key visual elements in the prompt:

• Background: Bright white board with subtle dry-erase marker streaks.
• Ink: Black and blue ink with a realistic marker texture.
• Elements: Hand-drawn sketchy boxes, winding arrows, and simple minimalist icons.
• Text: Handwritten-style font, all caps for headings, clear and legible.
