description: Generate professional infographics with 21 layout types and 22 visual styles. Analyzes content, recommends layout×style combinations, and generates publication-ready infographics. Use when user asks to create "infographic", "信息图", "visual summary", "可视化", or "高密度信息大图".

Infographic Generator

Two dimensions: **layout** (information structure) × **style** (visual aesthetics); any layout combines with any style.

User Input Tools

When this skill prompts the user, follow this tool-selection rule (priority order):

1. **Prefer built-in user-input tools** exposed by the current agent runtime — e.g., `AskUserQuestion`, `request_user_input`, `clarify`, `ask_user`, or any equivalent. 2. **Fallback**: if no such tool exists, emit a numbered plain-text message and ask the user to reply with the chosen number/answer for each question. 3. **Batching**: if the tool supports multiple questions per call, combine all applicable questions into a single call; if only single-question, ask them one at a time in priority order.

Concrete `AskUserQuestion` references below are examples — substitute the local equivalent in other runtimes.

Image Generation Tools

Resolve the image backend in this order:

1. **User names a backend** in the current message → use it. 2. **`preferred_image_backend`** in `EXTEND.md` names a backend available now → use it. `ask` means ask every run. 3. **Auto-select** (preference `auto`, unset, or the pinned backend is unavailable), first match wins:

• **Codex `imagegen`** skill is in your available skills → you are in Codex and MUST use it: `Skill` with `skill: "imagegen"`, passing the prompt file's content plus output path and aspect ratio. It outranks non-native skills such as `baoyu-image-gen`.
• **Codex via `codex exec` (`codex-imagegen`)**: no native `imagegen`, but the `codex` CLI is on `PATH` with an active `codex login` → `baoyu-image-gen --provider codex-cli` (preferred), or the bundled wrapper if baoyu-image-gen is unavailable. Load [references/codex-imagegen.md](references/codex-imagegen.md) only for this branch.
• **Cursor `GenerateImage`** → use it (outranks non-native skills). It has no aspect-ratio parameter, so state the aspect ratio / dimensions in the `description` prompt; it saves to a tool-managed location, so copy the file to the expected output path (e.g., `outputs/.../NN-xxx.png`). Reference images go in `reference_image_paths`.
• **Other runtime-native image tool** (e.g., Hermes `image_generate`) → use it the same way.
• Exactly one non-native backend installed (e.g., `baoyu-image-gen`) → use it.
• Several non-native backends → ask the user once, batched with other initial questions.

4. **None available** → tell the user and ask how to proceed.

**⛔ Raster only**: never substitute SVG, HTML/CSS, canvas, or other code-based rendering for a raster image, even for diagram-like content. If no raster backend resolves, go to step 4.

**⛔ No bitmap text patching**: never use ImageMagick, Pillow, Canvas, SVG, HTML/CSS, OCR scripts, or any other overlay to cover, rewrite, erase, stroke, or replace labels, headings, callouts, data values, or any other text inside an already generated infographic. Regenerate from a corrected prompt, switch to a layout with less on-image text, or ask the user which imperfect candidate to keep.

**Prompt file (hard)**: before invoking any backend, write each image's full, final prompt to its own file under `prompts/` (`NN-{type}-[slug].md`) and pass that file (or its content) to the backend. It is the reproducibility record and lets you switch backends without rewriting prompts.

Change the pinned backend via `## Changing Preferences` below. Tool names above are examples; use the local equivalent in other runtimes.

Reference Images

Accept via `--ref <files...>`, file paths, or pasted images (guide style, palette, composition, or subject):

• File path(s) → copy to `refs/NN-ref-{slug}.{ext}` alongside the output
• Pasted image with no path → ask for the path (per User Input Tools), or extract style traits verbally as a text fallback

| Usage | Effect | |-------|--------| | `direct` | Pass the file to the backend as a reference image | | `style` | Extract style traits (line treatment, texture, mood) and append to the prompt body | | `palette` | Extract hex colors from the image and append to the prompt body |

Record refs in `prompts/infographic.md` frontmatter:

references:
  - ref_id: 01
    filename: 01-ref-brand.png
    usage: direct

At generation: verify each referenced file exists; if `usage: direct` AND the backend accepts reference images (e.g., `baoyu-image-gen` via `--ref`), pass it via the backend's ref parameter; otherwise embed extracted `style`/`palette` traits in the prompt text.

Confirmation Policy

Default: **confirm before generation**.

• Explicit skill invocation, a file path, a matched keyword shortcut, `EXTEND.md` defaults, and the documented default combination are recommendation inputs only — none authorizes skipping confirmation.
• Do not start Step 5 or Step 6 until the user confirms the combination/aspect/language/backend choices.
• Skip confirmation only when the current request explicitly says so: `--no-confirm`, "直接生成", "不用确认", "跳过确认", "按默认出图", or equivalent. Then state the assumed combination/aspect/language/backend in the next user-facing update before generating.

Options

| Option | Values | |--------|--------| | `--layout` | 21 options (see Layout Gallery), default: bento-grid | | `--style` | 22 options (see Style Gallery), default: craft-handmade | | `--aspect` | Named: landscape (16:9), portrait (9:16), square (1:1). Custom: any W:H ratio (e.g., 3:4, 4:3, 2.35:1) | | `--lang` | en, zh, ja, etc. | | `--no-confirm` | Skip Step 4 only when the user explicitly requests direct generation without confirmati
