Infographics

Overview

Infographics are visual representations of information, data, or knowledge designed to present complex content quickly and clearly. **This skill uses Nano Banana 2 AI for infographic generation with Gemini 3.7 Flash quality review and Perplexity Sonar for research.**

**How it works:**

• (Optional) **Research phase**: Gather candidate facts and source records using Perplexity Sonar Pro
• Describe your infographic in natural language
• Nano Banana 2 generates raster drafts from your content
• **Gemini 3.7 Flash reviews quality** against document-type thresholds
• **Smart iteration**: Regenerates when review requests improvements, within the iteration budget
• Inspect every final image at its intended display size and check claims against sources

**Quality Thresholds by Document Type:** | Document Type | Threshold | Description | |---------------|-----------|-------------| | marketing | 8.5/10 | Marketing materials - must be compelling | | report | 8.0/10 | Business reports - professional quality | | presentation | 7.5/10 | Slides, talks - clear and engaging | | social | 7.0/10 | Social media content | | internal | 7.0/10 | Internal use | | draft | 6.5/10 | Working drafts | | default | 7.5/10 | General purpose |

**Simply describe what you want, and Nano Banana 2 creates it.**

Quick Start

Install the only runtime dependency in your chosen Python environment (`python -m pip install requests`), then set `OPENROUTER_API_KEY`. Examples below illustrate CLI usage; paid generation was not executed during this review. Scripts accept PNG output paths only.

Generate a draft by describing it:

# Generate a list infographic (default threshold 7.5/10)
python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \
  "5 benefits of regular exercise" \
  -o figures/exercise_benefits.png --type list

# Generate for marketing (highest threshold: 8.5/10)
python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \
  "Product features comparison" \
  -o figures/product_comparison.png --type comparison --doc-type marketing

# Generate with corporate style
python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \
  "Company milestones 2010-2025" \
  -o figures/timeline.png --type timeline --style corporate

# Generate with colorblind-safe palette
python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \
  "Heart disease statistics worldwide" \
  -o figures/health_stats.png --type statistical --palette wong

# Generate WITH RESEARCH for accurate, up-to-date data
python skills/infographics/scripts/generate_infographic.py \
  "Global AI market size and growth projections" \
  -o figures/ai_market.png --type statistical --research

**What happens behind the scenes:** 1. **(Optional) Research**: Perplexity Sonar Pro gathers candidate facts with source annotations 2. **Generation 1**: Nano Banana 2 creates initial infographic following design best practices 3. **Review 1**: **Gemini 3.7 Flash** evaluates quality against document-type threshold 4. **Decision**: Stop when the scored review meets threshold and requests no further changes 5. **If improvements are requested**: Retain content and source context, refine the prompt, regenerate 6. **Repeat**: Until quality meets threshold or the iteration budget is reached; stop on API failure and keep the latest saved draft

**Smart Iteration Benefits:**

• ✅ Saves API calls if first generation is good enough
• ✅ Higher quality standards for marketing materials
• ✅ Faster turnaround for drafts/internal use
• ✅ Appropriate quality for each use case

**Output**: Versioned PNGs plus a review log with models, scores, `quality_met`, and `termination_reason`. A saved image (`success: true`) can still be unreviewed or below threshold. Human factual and visual checks remain required.

When to Use This Skill

Use the **infographics** skill when:

• Presenting data or statistics in a visual format
• Creating timeline visualizations for project milestones or history
• Explaining processes, workflows, or step-by-step guides
• Comparing options, products, or concepts side-by-side
• Summarizing key points in an engaging visual format
• Creating geographic or map-based data visualizations
• Building hierarchical or organizational charts
• Designing social media content or marketing materials

**Use scientific-schematics instead for:**

• Technical flowcharts and circuit diagrams
• Biological pathways and molecular diagrams
• Neural network architecture diagrams
• CONSORT/PRISMA methodology diagrams

Research Integration

Automatic Data Gathering (`--research`)

When creating infographics that require accurate, up-to-date data, use the `--research` flag to gather candidate facts and statistics using **Perplexity Sonar Pro**. The script preserves source annotations; it does not independently verify claims or source relevance. For scientific or medical publication, verify primary sources before including the resulting numbers.
