Report To Infographic

Use this skill when the user provides a report, markdown summary, or structured data and wants an infographic instead of a deck.

Read ../../docs/input-contracts.md, ../../docs/layout-recipes.md, and ../../docs/quality-checks.md before drafting.

Use when

• The input is a report, markdown document, or structured data table.
• The expected output is a single-frame or scrollable infographic.

Do not use when

• The user wants a multi-slide deck (use deck-from-report or deck-from-brief).
• The user wants a multi-page handout (use a PDF recipe).

Workflow

1. Identify the data shape

Detect the dominant shape: time series, ranking, matrix, distribution, or process. The shape constrains the chart family and the recipe.

2. Pick the recipe

Choose from infographic.timeline, infographic.comparison, infographic.process, or infographic.dashboard. Record the rejected alternatives.

3. Apply the theme

Resolve theme tokens before drafting any block. Honor any theme override the user provides. Keep the chart palette inside the theme's allowed range.

4. Choose the export mode

Default to the infographic mode. Optionally also produce a pdf-handout for print-friendly distribution.

5. Produce the artifact

• generate the infographic structure based on the recipe and the resolved data
• run pre-export QC, paying special attention to chart overflow and label legibility
• write the export file plus build-notes.md, assets.json, and failures.json

Output

• an infographic artifact in the requested mode
• a build note that records the data shape, recipe, theme, and any chart decisions
• an asset inventory and a failure list
