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):

# 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
