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

Save source content (file path or paste → source.md)
- Backup rule: If source.md exists, rename to source-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.md
Analyze: topic, data type, complexity, tone, audience
Detect source language and user language
Extract design instructions from user input
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:

Title and learning objectives
Sections with: key concept, content (verbatim), visual element, text labels
Data points (all statistics/quotes copied exactly)
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	landscape (16:9), portrait (9:16), square (1:1)
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:

Layout definition from references/layouts/<layout>.md
Style definition from references/styles/<style>.md
Base template from references/base-prompt.md
Structured content from Step 2
All text in confirmed language

Step 6: Generate Image

Select available image generation skill (ask user if multiple)
Check for existing file: Before generating, check if infographic.png exists
- If exists: Rename to infographic-backup-YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS.png
Call with prompt file and output path
On failure, auto-retry once

Step 7: Output Summary

Report: topic, layout, style, aspect, language, output path, files created.
