infographic_skill

Overview

This skill creates polished infographics from a simple YAML-like syntax and pre-designed templates. It’s optimized for quick visual impact with 4–8 items across common layouts like KPI cards, timelines, funnels, comparisons, SWOT, charts, and org trees. Use it for presentation-ready visuals without manual design work.

How this skill works

You write a short infographic block starting with infographic <template-name> and provide indented key/value pairs and item arrays. The skill validates template names and data fields, then renders a styled infographic using the chosen template. It supports icons, illustrations, numeric values for charts, and nested children for hierarchies or comparisons.

When to use it

• Create KPI cards or feature grids for dashboards and reports
• Build timelines, roadmaps, or milestone visuals for presentations
• Show step-by-step processes or onboarding flows with 3–8 steps
• Compare two options (A vs B) or produce a SWOT analysis
• Visualize funnels, pie/donut charts, bar charts, or simple org trees

Best practices

• Pick a template that matches your data shape — wrong template names will cause render failures
• Limit items to 4–8 for best visual clarity; some templates require exact counts (e.g., SWOT needs 4)
• Use value only for chart/funnel templates and desc for list templates
• Follow the required 2-space indentation and - prefix for arrays to avoid parsing errors
• For hierarchies, keep depth within template limits (e.g., hierarchy-structure max 3 levels)

Example use cases

• Quarterly KPI dashboard using list-grid-badge-card with concise metrics
• Product roadmap in sequence-timeline-simple for stakeholder updates
• Sales funnel visualization with sequence-filter-mesh-simple showing conversion stages
• SWOT strategic slide using compare-swot with four labeled quadrants
• Org chart using hierarchy-tree-tech-style-capsule-item for leadership and teams
