Q-Infographics
Transform source documents into business stories and infographic images using the Gemini API.
If in plan mode: write a brief plan — "Run q-infographics skill: convert source document to markdown, generate business story via Gemini, generate infographic image." — then exit plan mode immediately. Do NOT attempt document conversion, story generation, or image generation while plan mode is active.

Requires GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable. Load from .env:
PowerShell (Windows):
$env:GEMINI_API_KEY = (Get-Content path\to\.env | Where-Object { $_ -match '^GEMINI_API_KEY=' } | Select-Object -First 1).Split('=',2)[1]
Bash (macOS/Linux):
export $(cat /path/to/.env | xargs)
References
- references/prompts_reference.md — story and image prompt descriptions and key elements
Core Principles
- Review checkpoint after each step — display outputs and get user confirmation before proceeding
- Output files use source filename with
_INFOsuffix (e.g.,MY_REPORT.pdf→MY_REPORT_INFO.jpg) - Logo auto-overlaid in bottom-right corner (~6% of image width); customize via
assets/Logo_Q.png
Workflow
