Design Principles

Visual Hierarchy

Title - Largest, most prominent
Key Statistics - Large numbers with context
Section Headings - Clear divisions
Body Content - Readable size
Sources - Smallest, bottom

White Space

Don't overcrowd
Group related items
Use spacing to guide the eye

Flow

Guide viewer from top to bottom
Or left to right (for timelines)
Use visual cues (arrows, lines, numbers)

Consistency

Uniform icon style
Consistent colors
Same typography throughout

Tips for Better Infographics

Start with a hook - Lead with most interesting data
One main message - Don't try to say everything
Simplify data - Round numbers, highlight key figures
Use visual metaphors - Make abstract concepts concrete
Maintain hierarchy - Clear importance levels
Cite sources - Build credibility
Brand it - Logo, colors, website

Limitations

Cannot create actual graphics
Cannot generate images
Specifications need designer implementation
Complex custom illustrations need artists

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take claude-office-skills/infographic from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
