  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 162 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by OpenSenseNova on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Sn Infographic AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.
2

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/OpenSenseNova/SenseNova-Skills.git /tmp/SenseNova-Skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/SenseNova-Skills/skills/sn-infographic .claude/skills/sn-infographic
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Sn Infographic in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Sn Infographic on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Sn Infographic is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

sn-infographic

Info graphic generation scene skill (tier 1), relying on the sn-image-generate, sn-image-recognize, and sn-text-optimize tools provided by sn-image-base (tier 0).

Features:

  • Evaluation of prompt quality (auto mode)
  • Prompt expansion (force/auto mode)
  • Multiple rounds of image generation and VLM review
  • Output the best result based on quality ranking

Input Specification

ParameterTypeDefault ValueDescription
user_promptstringRequiredOriginal user request. UTF-8 text; may include Markdown, URLs, or structured data. Length bounded only by the underlying LLM context budget.
max_roundsint1Maximum number of generation rounds. Valid range: 18. When max_rounds=1, the Step 3 VLM review and the early-termination check are both skipped.
output_modestringfriendlyfriendly: one-line content description + rank=1 single image
verbose: full quality ranking + timing stats + all images (ordered by rank)
prompts_expand_modestringautoauto: evaluate user_prompt quality first; enter Step 2 expansion only when it falls short
force: skip evaluation, always execute Step 2 expansion
disable: skip Step 2, use user_prompt directly as expanded_prompt
aspect_ratiostringinferred (16:9)Set by Main Agent when the user states an explicit supported ratio (e.g. 16:9 / 9:16, optionally via 宽高比 / 画面比例 / aspect ratio); otherwise left unset and the Worker infers it in Step 0 from user_prompt (orientation / scene cues) per references/runtime-parameters.md.
image_sizestringinferred (2k)Set by Main Agent when the user states an explicit size (2k / 4k); otherwise the Worker infers it in Step 0 (currently a single option, 2k). 4k is supported when SN_IMAGE_GEN_MODEL=sensenova-u1.5-lite; other models may reject it and the skill surfaces that error.

Who extracts what: Main Agent parameter extraction resolves max_rounds, output_mode, prompts_expand_mode, and aspect_ratio / image_size (each only when the user gives an explicit value). aspect_ratio and image_size without an explicit value are inferred by the Worker in Step 0.

API Configuration

All API calls in this skill are executed through the sn_agent_runner.py of the sn-image-base skill, with authentication parameters using default values (CLI > environment variables > built-in defaults),无需显式传入。

$SN_IMAGE_BASE path explanation: $SN_IMAGE_BASE is the installation directory of the sn-image-base skill (SKILL.md exists). The agent can locate this path by skill name sn-image-base in the list of installed skills.

Architecture: Main Agent + Worker Agent

This skill uses a two-tier agent architecture:

RoleResponsibility
Main AgentReceive user request, normalize parameters, send preflight, start Worker, collect results, send text and images to user
Worker AgentExecute the generation pipeline (expand → multiple rounds of generation + review → sort), return structured JSON

Responsibility Boundaries:

  • Worker Agent does not send any messages to the user directly, only returns structured JSON
  • Main Agent is responsible for sending all user-visible messages
  • Worker Agent's last message must be and only be the JSON string defined in the Return Contract
  • Worker Agent's internal VLM calls always execute directly, without spawning subagents

Workflow

Main Agent Workflow

  1. Parameter extraction from the user request, in three passes:

    1. Inline KV directives — parse tokens of the form key=value where key ∈ {max_rounds, output_mode, prompts_expand_mode, aspect_ratio, image_size}; strip recognized tokens from the user message, and the remainder becomes user_prompt. Example: "生成一张信息图 max_rounds=3 output_mode=verbose"user_prompt="生成一张信息图", max_rounds=3, output_mode=verbose.

    2. Keyword recognition (case-insensitive, applied to the stripped text) — fill any parameter not yet set by inline KV using the table below:

      ParameterTrigger keywordsResolved value
      output_modeverbose, 详细, 详尽, 完整统计verbose
      friendly, 简洁, 精简friendly
      max_roundsN 轮, N rounds, 重试 N 次 (parse N)N, clamped to [1, 8]
      prompts_expand_mode强制扩写, force expand, force expansionforce
      不扩写, 跳过扩写, disable expansion, no expanddisable
      aspect_ratioan explicit supported ratio (16:9 9:16 4:3 3:4 1:1 2:3 3:2 4:5 5:4 21:9 9:21), with or without a 宽高比 / 画面比例 / 比例 / aspect ratio lead-inthat ratio (validated against the supported set in runtime-parameters.md; unsupported value → leave unset for Worker inference)
      image_sizean explicit supported size (2k 4k), with or without an image_size / 分辨率 / 清晰度 / image size lead-inthat size (vague quality words like 高清 / 超清 do not count); unsupported value → leave unset for Worker inference
    3. Defaults — any parameter still unset falls back to max_rounds=1, output_mode=friendly, prompts_expand_mode=auto. aspect_ratio and image_size have no Main-Agent default: when no explicit value is detected they are left unset for the Worker to infer in Step 0.

    Precedence: inline KV > keyword recognition > default. Values from inline KV are validated against the Input Specification (out-of-range max_rounds clamped to [1, 8]; unrecognized enum values fall back to default and Main Agent should log the mismatch).

  2. Send uniform preflight message: "Using sn-infographic skill to generate infographic, please wait..."

  3. Start Worker Agent (Sub-Agent), passing in complete parameters and working directory

  4. When Worker Agent returns status=ok and need_main_agent_send=true:

    • max_rounds = 1: Generate the Text Summary (see Output Format → friendly mode for length/language rules) from expanded_prompt in the returned JSON (always present for status=ok, see Return Contract), send it, then send the rank=1 single image
    • max_rounds > 1, friendly mode: Generate the Text Summary based on the rank=1 round's result and violations, send it, then send the rank=1 single image
    • max_rounds > 1, verbose mode: Render the verbose template (see Output Format → verbose mode for substitution rules) and send it, then send all images in rank order
  5. If Worker Agent returns status=error, report the real error field content to the user

Worker Agent Workflow

Worker Agent receives user_prompt, max_rounds, prompts_expand_mode, an optional aspect_ratio and image_size (each set only when the user gave an explicit value), and the working directory of this skill (SKILL_DIR). (output_mode stays on the Main Agent side — Worker has no branch that depends on it.)

Naming: $SKILL_DIR for own files; $SN_<SKILL_NAME> (e.g. $SN_IMAGE_BASE) for cross-skill references.

JSON parsing: every sn_agent_runner.py ... -o json call prints a JSON envelope on stdout ({"status", "result", "model", ...}; diagnostics go to stderr). A failed call sets status to a non-ok value (e.g. failed) and omits result, so always confirm .status == ok on the envelope before reading .result — otherwise a missing .result surfaces as the literal null, which is itself valid JSON and slips past both jq -r and extract_json.py (no error raised). The LLM's own JSON (evaluation / analysis steps) lives inside the result string and may carry stray prose or ```json fences. Before any jq, pipe the runner output through $SN_IMAGE_BASE/scripts/extract_json.py (reads stdin, prints the recovered JSON, exits non-zero when none is found); for steps that parse the inner LLM/VLM JSON, pipe .result through it as well. A non-ok status or a non-zero extract_json.py exit means the response is unusable → return the Error Flow JSON.

Step 0 — Initialization
  1. Generate task_id (timestamp, format YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS) and create the uniform temporary directory /tmp/openclaw/sn-infographic/<task_id>/ as TEMP_DIR. TEMP_DIR must exist before any subsequent step writes to it:

    bash
    TASK_ID=$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
    TEMP_DIR="/tmp/openclaw/sn-infographic/${TASK_ID}"
    mkdir -p "$TEMP_DIR"
  2. Initialize an empty rounds list

  3. Resolve aspect_ratio and image_size (bind to ASPECT_RATIO / IMAGE_SIZE): use the explicit Main Agent value when present, else infer from user_prompt per $SKILL_DIR/references/runtime-parameters.md. Defaults: aspect_ratio16:9; image_size inference currently has a single option, 2k.

Step 1 — Decide whether to rewrite the image prompt (always runs)

This step decides whether to rewrite/expand the user's image-generation prompt text before Step 3 generates the image, and produces the boolean should_expand. When Step 2 is skipped it also sets EXPANDED_PROMPT and records prompts_expand_skipped = true.

Scope (do not over-read the step name). "Expand" here means rewriting the text prompt for image generation, nothing more. This is not task decomposition, plan generation, or a plan-review gate, and Step 1 starts no agents of its own — it is a single sn-text-optimize call made by the Worker itself. Do not map it onto any subagent-driven-development / delegate_task-style workflow, and write no plan files. (The Worker is the only sub-agent this skill uses, started once by the Main Agent; the Worker spawns none of its own — see Responsibility Boundaries.)

PROMPTS_EXPAND_MODE is the already-resolved input handed over by the Main Agent — Step 1 acts on it, it does not re-parse the user request. Resolving the mode value (Main Agent parameter extraction) and running this decision are two different jobs: completing the former does not complete Step 1. Do not skip this step; in auto mode the evaluation call below is mandatory — never infer should_expand from the prompt's apparent quality.

Only Step 2 (prompt expansion) is ever skipped, and only when this step decides so. The branch depends on PROMPTS_EXPAND_MODE:

auto mode (default):

  1. Run the evaluation call (mandatory). The inner evaluation JSON lives inside .result; its schema is $SKILL_DIR/references/evaluation-standard.md (required_results, optional_results).

    bash
    EVAL_ENVELOPE=$(python "$SN_IMAGE_BASE/scripts/sn_agent_runner.py" sn-text-optimize \
      --system-prompt-path "$SKILL_DIR/references/evaluation-standard.md" \
      --user-prompt "$USER_PROMPT" \
      --output-format json | python "$SN_IMAGE_BASE/scripts/extract_json.py")
    
    # A failed runner envelope (status != ok) carries no .result.
    EVAL_STATUS=$(printf '%s' "$EVAL_ENVELOPE" | jq -r '.status')
    
    EVAL=$(printf '%s' "$EVAL_ENVELOPE" | jq -r '.result' \
      | python "$SN_IMAGE_BASE/scripts/extract_json.py")
  2. Decide should_expand:

    • required_pass: all answer in required_results are "yes"
    • optional_pass: count of answer="yes" in optional_results / total ≥ 0.6
    • should_expand = not (required_pass and optional_pass)
  3. Conservative fallback: if EVAL_STATUS is not ok (the evaluation call itself failed) or extract_json.py exits non-zero, default should_expand = true. Unlike Steps 2.0 / 2.3, a failed evaluation does not abort the Worker — auto falls back to expanding.

  4. If should_expand = true: execute Step 2.

  5. If should_expand = false: skip Step 2, set EXPANDED_PROMPT to the original prompt, record prompts_expand_skipped = true:

    bash
    EXPANDED_PROMPT="$USER_PROMPT"
    echo "$EXPANDED_PROMPT" > "$TEMP_DIR/expanded-prompt.txt"

force mode:

  • Skip the evaluation, always execute Step 2 (expansion is mandatory).
  • prompts_expand_skipped is not recorded — the field appears in the Return JSON only when Step 2 is skipped (see Return Contract rules).

disable mode:

  • Skip both the evaluation and Step 2; use user_prompt directly as expanded_prompt:

    bash
    EXPANDED_PROMPT="$USER_PROMPT"
    echo "$EXPANDED_PROMPT" > "$TEMP_DIR/expanded-prompt.txt"
  • Record prompts_expand_skipped = true.

Step 2 — Content Analysis + Layout & Style Selection + Prompt Expansion

2.0 Content Analysis (using sn-image-base's sn-text-optimize tool):

bash
ANALYSIS_ENVELOPE=$(python "$SN_IMAGE_BASE/scripts/sn_agent_runner.py" sn-text-optimize \
  --system-prompt-path "$SKILL_DIR/references/analysis-framework.md" \
  --user-prompt "$USER_PROMPT" \
  --output-format json | python "$SN_IMAGE_BASE/scripts/extract_json.py")

Save the inner analysis JSON from .result (not the envelope, so Step 2.1 can jq data_type / tone / audience directly) to $TEMP_DIR/analysis.json. The guard below rejects a failed envelope first (status not ok or extract_json.py non-zero → Error Flow with .error):

bash
# A failed runner envelope (status != ok) has no .result → return Error Flow.
if [ "$(printf '%s' "$ANALYSIS_ENVELOPE" | jq -r '.status')" != "ok" ]; then
  ANALYSIS_ERROR=$(printf '%s' "$ANALYSIS_ENVELOPE" | jq -r '.error')
  # return Error Flow JSON {"status":"error","error":"$ANALYSIS_ERROR"} to Main Agent and stop
fi

printf '%s' "$ANALYSIS_ENVELOPE" | jq -r '.result' \
  | python "$SN_IMAGE_BASE/scripts/extract_json.py" > "$TEMP_DIR/analysis.json"

Schema: $SKILL_DIR/references/analysis-framework.md (defines data_type, tone, audience, and the other fields consumed by Step 2.1 / 2.2).

2.1 Layout & Style Selection

This is a name-level, weighted-random pick from the candidate tables in $SKILL_DIR/references/layout-style-selection.md; it operates purely on layout/style names. Do NOT open any file under references/layouts/ or references/styles/ here, and do not "compare options" to choose a best fit — the pick is random, not reasoned over file contents. The one selected layout file and one selected style file are read exactly once, later, in Step 2.3.

  1. Read analysis result from temporary directory $TEMP_DIR/analysis.json;
bash
ANALYSIS=$(cat "$TEMP_DIR/analysis.json")
  1. From data_type / tone / audience, run the candidate lookup + weighted-random sampling defined in $SKILL_DIR/references/layout-style-selection.md to obtain one LAYOUT name and one STYLE name (names only — no file reads);
  2. Validate the selection by checking the definition files exist (existence only via [ -f ], still no reading); fall back to hub-spoke + corporate-memphis if missing:
bash
[ -f "$SKILL_DIR/references/layouts/${LAYOUT}.md" ] || LAYOUT=hub-spoke
[ -f "$SKILL_DIR/references/styles/${STYLE}.md" ] || STYLE=corporate-memphis
  1. Save selection result to temporary directory: $TEMP_DIR/layout-style.json;

Format of layout-style.json:

json
{
  "layout": "<layout>",
  "style": "<style>"
}

2.2 Structured Content Generation

Read analysis result and structured content template, convert user_prompt into a design-ready structured content based on the template rules:

bash
ANALYSIS=$(cat "$TEMP_DIR/analysis.json")
LAYOUT_STYLE=$(cat "$TEMP_DIR/layout-style.json")
STRUCTURED_CONTENT_TEMPLATE=$(cat "$SKILL_DIR/references/structured-content-template.md")

Follow the three phases defined in the template (High-Level Outline → Section Development → Data Integrity Check), combine the learning objectives, visual opportunities, and key data in analysis.json, generate structured content, and save it to the temporary directory:

bash
cat > "$TEMP_DIR/structured-content.md" << 'EOF'
<Content generated based on structured-content-template.md format>
EOF

Structure: $SKILL_DIR/references/structured-content-template.md.

Rules: All data must be preserved exactly. Do not rewrite. Do not add information that is not in the source.

2.3 Prompt Expansion (using sn-image-base's sn-text-optimize tool):

Read layout/style selection, then assemble the system prompt by direct file concatenation (do not use heredocs — layout/style files contain backticks and $(...) that an unquoted heredoc body would execute):

bash
LAYOUT=$(jq -r '.layout' "$TEMP_DIR/layout-style.json")
STYLE=$(jq -r '.style' "$TEMP_DIR/layout-style.json")

{
  cat "$SKILL_DIR/references/prompts-expand-system.md"
  printf '\n\n---\n\n## Selected Layout: %s\n\n' "$LAYOUT"
  cat "$SKILL_DIR/references/layouts/${LAYOUT}.md"
  printf '\n\n---\n\n## Selected Style: %s\n\n' "$STYLE"
  cat "$SKILL_DIR/references/styles/${STYLE}.md"
  printf '\n\n---\n\n## Output Template Reference\n\n'
  cat "$SKILL_DIR/references/base-prompt.md"
} > "$TEMP_DIR/expand-system-prompt.md"

Use the content of structured-content.md as user-prompt (passed via --user-prompt-path to avoid argv-length and quoting issues), read system prompt from temporary file and call sn-text-optimize:

bash
EXPAND_ENVELOPE=$(python "$SN_IMAGE_BASE/scripts/sn_agent_runner.py" sn-text-optimize \
  --system-prompt-path "$TEMP_DIR/expand-system-prompt.md" \
  --user-prompt-path "$TEMP_DIR/structured-content.md" \
  --output-format json | python "$SN_IMAGE_BASE/scripts/extract_json.py")

Extract the result field as expanded_prompt and write to temporary directory. Here .result is the expanded prompt text (not JSON), so only the envelope is parsed via extract_json.py. Confirm .status == ok first: a failed envelope has no .result, so jq -r '.result' would yield the literal string null and write "null" as the image prompt:

bash
# A failed runner envelope (status != ok) has no .result → return Error Flow.
if [ "$(printf '%s' "$EXPAND_ENVELOPE" | jq -r '.status')" != "ok" ]; then
  EXPAND_ERROR=$(printf '%s' "$EXPAND_ENVELOPE" | jq -r '.error')
  # return Error Flow JSON {"status":"error","error":"$EXPAND_ERROR"} to Main Agent and stop
fi

EXPANDED_PROMPT=$(printf '%s' "$EXPAND_ENVELOPE" | jq -r '.result')
echo "$EXPANDED_PROMPT" > "$TEMP_DIR/expanded-prompt.txt"

expanded-prompt.txt: single UTF-8 string, passed verbatim to sn-image-generate --prompt in Step 3.

Beyond the status guard above, if parsing fails or truncation is suspected (the returned content is incomplete), the Worker must likewise return the Error Flow JSON (status=error, real message) and terminate — it must not message the user directly (see Responsibility Boundaries).

Step 3 — Image Generation Loop

Execute round ROUND from 1 to max_rounds sequentially. Inside each iteration set the shell variable ROUND to the current round number, and use ${ROUND} in every path so successive rounds do not overwrite each other:

bash
for ROUND in $(seq 1 "$MAX_ROUNDS"); do
  # the Generate Image / Review Image / Save Round Result blocks below run inside this loop body
  :
done

Generate Image (using sn-image-base's sn-image-generate tool):

bash
python "$SN_IMAGE_BASE/scripts/sn_agent_runner.py" sn-image-generate \
  --prompt "$EXPANDED_PROMPT" \
  --image-size "$IMAGE_SIZE" \
  --aspect-ratio "$ASPECT_RATIO" \
  --save-path "$TEMP_DIR/round_${ROUND}.png" \
  -o json

Review Image (only executed when max_rounds > 1):

  • If no VLM model is configured: return Error Flow JSON suggesting the user add a VLM configuration or set max_rounds=1.
  • If the VLM call fails/times out: no fallback; return Error Flow JSON with the real error.
bash
python "$SN_IMAGE_BASE/scripts/sn_agent_runner.py" sn-image-recognize \
  --system-prompt-path "$SKILL_DIR/references/prompts-critic-system.md" \
  --user-prompt "Evaluate the diagram in the image against the rules. Output your assessment." \
  --images "$TEMP_DIR/round_${ROUND}.png" \
  --output-format json

Map VLM response into the per-round record (the VLM response schema is defined in $SKILL_DIR/references/prompts-critic-system.md; each violation is a four-field object):

  • vlm.resultrounds[i].result (verbatim — "PASS" or "FAIL")
  • vlm.violationsrounds[i].violations (passthrough verbatim — array of { rule_id, rule_name, detail, revised_description } objects)
  • len(vlm.violations)rounds[i].violations_count
  • vlm.reasoningrounds[i].reasoning (verbatim string passthrough)

When max_rounds=1 (no VLM call), default the round record to result="PASS", violations=[], violations_count=0, reasoning="".

Save Round Result

  "round": 1,
  "image": "$TEMP_DIR/round_1.png",
  "result": "PASS|FAIL",

    "vlm_review": { "elapsed_seconds": 5.67, "model": "sensenova-6.8-flash-lite" }
  }
}

Early Termination Check (only executed when max_rounds > 1):

  • If result=PASS, immediately exit the loop, do not continue generating
  • If result=FAIL, continue to the next round (if there are remaining rounds)
Step 4 — Image Quality Ranking

Sort images by violations_count ascending + round ascending, return structured JSON to Main Agent.

Return Contract

After Worker Agent completes, its last message must be and only be the following JSON string (bare JSON, no code fences, no preceding or trailing text).

Notation in the examples below:

  • <...> — documentation placeholder; replace with the real value at runtime.
  • A|B — one of the listed literals; the returned JSON must contain exactly one of them (e.g. "result": "PASS" or "result": "FAIL", never the literal string "PASS|FAIL").
  • $VAR — must be expanded to the resolved value before serialization. For example, "image": "$TEMP_DIR/round_1.png" in the schema must be returned as the absolute path actually written by Step 3 (e.g. "/tmp/openclaw/sn-infographic/20260521_120000/round_1.png"), never the literal "$TEMP_DIR/round_1.png".
  • Conditional fields — every field whose Rules entry says "omitted when …" must be physically absent from the JSON in that case, not present-with-null.

Error Flow:

json
{
  "status": "error",
  "error": "<Actual error information>"
}

Rules:

  • status=ok must contain need_main_agent_send: true.
  • expanded_prompt: always present in status=ok; value is original user_prompt when prompts_expand_skipped=true, else the Step 2.3 result.
  • prompts_expand_skipped: present (true) only when Step 2 is skipped (prompts_expand_mode=disable, or auto with passing evaluation); omitted otherwise.
  • early_terminated: present (true) only when Step 3 exited the loop early via a PASS; omitted otherwise (including all max_rounds=1 runs).
  • violations: array of objects from the VLM response, schema $SKILL_DIR/references/prompts-critic-system.md (rule_id, rule_name, detail, revised_description). [] when result=PASS or max_rounds=1.
  • violations_count: len(violations); 0 when max_rounds=1.
  • reasoning: VLM reasoning field verbatim; "" when max_rounds=1.
  • When max_rounds=1, the single round's result defaults to "PASS" (image delivered without VLM check).
  • Top-level timing:
    • total_elapsed_seconds: Worker wall time from Step 0 to JSON return.
    • prompt_evaluation: {elapsed_seconds, model} from Step 1 evaluation. Present only when prompts_expand_mode=auto.
    • content_analysis: {elapsed_seconds, model} from Step 2.0. Omitted when prompts_expand_skipped=true.
    • prompt_expand: {elapsed_seconds, model} from Step 2.3. Omitted when prompts_expand_skipped=true.
  • rounds[].timing.image_generation.model: hardcoded "sn_image_model" (sn-image-generate returns no model field).
  • rounds[].timing.vlm_review: omitted when max_rounds=1.

Output Format

friendly mode (default)

Text Summary — a one-sentence description generated by Main Agent. Length: ≤ 50 chars/字 regardless of language (1 Chinese character = 1 unit, 1 ASCII character = 1 unit). Language: follow the dominant language of user_prompt (predominantly Chinese → output Chinese; otherwise → output English).

  • when max_rounds = 1: derive the description from expanded_prompt (focus on what the infographic depicts).
  • when max_rounds > 1: derive the description from the rank=1 round's result and violations:
    • result=PASS: positive tone.
    • result=FAIL (1–2 violations): briefly point out the specific issues.
    • result=FAIL (≥ 3 violations): objectively summarize the main issues.

Image: rank=1 single image.

Substitution rules:

PlaceholderRule
[expanded | not expanded, using original prompt]not expanded, using original prompt when prompts_expand_skipped=true is present in the Return JSON; otherwise expanded.
<expanded_prompt>The expanded_prompt field from the Return JSON, verbatim.
#k round=<n> result=… violations=…One line per entry in rounds[], in rank order (k = 1..len(rounds)); <n> is rounds[i].round.
[early terminated]Append only to the round that actually triggered early termination (i.e. the result=PASS round that cut the loop). Omit on all other lines. If early_terminated is absent from the Return JSON, the tag never appears.
Total <total>stiming.total_elapsed_seconds. Always present.
Prompt evaluation <t>stiming.prompt_evaluation.elapsed_seconds. Omit this | Prompt evaluation … segment entirely when prompt_evaluation is absent from the Return JSON.
Content analysis <t>stiming.content_analysis.elapsed_seconds. Omit the segment entirely when absent.
Prompt expansion <t>stiming.prompt_expand.elapsed_seconds. Omit the segment entirely when absent.
Image generation <t>s×<n> rounds<t> = sum of rounds[].timing.image_generation.elapsed_seconds; <n> = len(rounds).
VLM review <t>s×<n> rounds<t> = sum of rounds[].timing.vlm_review.elapsed_seconds (only over rounds where the field exists); <n> = number of rounds with VLM review. Omit the segment entirely when max_rounds=1 (no VLM review occurred).
Images (sent in rank order)Section header; image delivery itself follows the channel conventions of the host runtime.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Sn Infographic AI skill do?

Generates professional infographics with various layout types and visual styles. Analyzes content, recommends layout and style, and generates publication-ready infographics. Use when user asks to create "infographic", "信息图", "visual summary", or "可视化".

Why use Sn Infographic on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Sn Infographic is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Sn Infographic in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/OpenSenseNova/SenseNova-Skills/tree/main/skills/sn-infographic. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Sn Infographic?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Sn Infographic?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Sn Infographic with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Sn Infographic AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by OpenSenseNova under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
