## What it does

This skill turns source text into a statistical poster without relying on stock dashboard templates. It extracts anchors like dates and quantities directly from your text. Visual encodings follow Cleveland-McGill perceptual rankings, prioritizing position on a shared scale over angles or area.

Before rendering, the skill routes data into structures such as sequences, hierarchies, or relations. Countable items turn into ISOTYPE pictograms, where one symbol represents a fixed unit count. Color palettes derive directly from the source subject and stay under five tones.

Circular gauges, pie charts, 3D effects, and fabricated metrics are prohibited. Every number must match the input. A lossless data table must accompany the finished visual.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Kayforkind/reimagine-it --skill infographic -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/infographic/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/infographic/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Kayforkind/reimagine-it --skill infographic -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/infographic/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Kayforkind/reimagine-it --skill infographic -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/infographic/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install Kayforkind/reimagine-it infographic
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/infographic/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Kayforkind/reimagine-it --skill infographic -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/Kayforkind/reimagine-it --path skills/reimagine-it/infographic
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/infographic/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add Kayforkind/reimagine-it --skill infographic -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/Kayforkind/reimagine-it/tree/HEAD/skills/reimagine-it/infographic/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- turn raw report text into a structured statistical poster
- represent countable units using ISOTYPE pictogram arrays
- compare metrics along common scales without visual distortion
- supply a complete lossless verification table alongside charts

## Example prompts
- /reimagine-it infographic for report.md
- Build a statistical poster using the data in metrics.csv
- Create an infographic from this document without pie charts

description: >-
  Content-derived infographic poster — reads the source file and builds a
  statistical poster from the facts already in it. Not a dashboard, not a CV,
  not an AntV template. Uses common-scale encodings (Cleveland–McGill floor),
  ISOTYPE unit counts (Neurath), custom data glyphs (Lupi/Fragapane),
  and a lossless data table. Palette, glyphs, and composition are derived
  from the source's own content. No pies, donuts, gauges, 3D charts, or
  fabricated KPIs. Part of the reimagine-it Content-Derived Design suite.

# /reimagine-it infographic

**Parent:** [../SKILL.md](../SKILL.md) — the full Content-Derived Design engine.
**Research pack:** [../references/research/infographic-craft.md](../references/research/infographic-craft.md) — 15-source infographic method (Cleveland–McGill, Tufte, Bertin, ISOTYPE, Minard/Snow, Cairo, Lupi, FT Visual Vocabulary, USWDS, WCAG charts, InfoAlign layouts).
**Domain pack:** [../references/domains/infographic.md](../references/domains/infographic.md) — the infographic domain non-negotiables.

Builds a **statistical poster of facts already in the source** — not an ops dashboard, not a CV, not an AntV template clone.

## Hard non-negotiables

1. **Cleveland–McGill perceptual ranking.** Position along a common scale > length > angle > area > volume > color saturation. Encode the most important comparisons as positions, not pies.
2. **ISOTYPE unit counts** when the data is discrete countable things (Neurath: one pictogram = N units, repeated, not scaled).
3. **Custom glyphs from the source.** Lupi/Fragapane pattern — draw a visual alphabet from the data itself (leaves, braids, snakes, whatever the content demands), not generic bar/pie/donut.
4. **Lossless data table.** Every chart has a companion table; the infographic is a supplement to the data, not a replacement.
5. **No pies, donuts, gauges, or 3D charts.** Pie charts rank last in Cleveland–McGill; donuts are pies with the center punched out (worse); 3D distorts perception.
6. **No fabricated KPIs.** Every number on the poster comes from the source, not extrapolated or invented.

## Structure router

Before drawing, sniff the source and lock a **structure**:

| Structure | When | InfoAlign scenery |
|-----------|------|-------------------|
| `list` | Unordered peers | grid, star |
