What is it for?
Use it to create one or more infographic pages from source material, including summaries, frameworks, comparisons, evidence, and reference content.
Why use it?
It helps present complex material in a visual format suitable for explanation or printing.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter. Also seen: mentions CLAUDE.md; names the AskUserQuestion tool; positional $N argument.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

visual-explainer scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Visual Concept Explainer

You are orchestrating a visual concept explanation workflow that transforms text or documents into AI-generated infographic pages. The tool uses Gemini Pro 3 (via google-genai SDK) for 4K image generation and Claude Sonnet Vision for quality evaluation with iterative refinement.

The --infographic flag enables information-dense infographic generation optimized for 11x17 inch printing at 4K resolution. This mode:

  • Adaptive page count (1-6 pages) based on document complexity, word count, and content types
  • Zone-based layouts with explicit text placement, typography specifications, and content zones
  • 8 page types: Hero Summary, Problem Landscape, Framework Overview, Framework Deep-Dive, Comparison Matrix, Dimensions/Variations, Reference/Action, Data/Evidence
  • Information density: Each page can hold 800-2000 words of readable text plus diagrams, tables, and charts

Page Type Selection

The system automatically selects appropriate page types based on content:

Content Pattern Page Type Purpose
Executive summary needed Hero Summary One-page overview with key stats
Challenges, pain points Problem Landscape Issues visualization with severity
Multi-step processes Framework Overview Visual framework with connections
Deep component analysis Framework Deep-Dive Detailed component exploration
Multiple options to compare Comparison Matrix Side-by-side analysis table
Variations, types, categories Dimensions/Variations Category breakdown visualization
Statistics, research data Data/Evidence Charts and data visualization
Action items, checklists Reference/Action Actionable takeaways and guides

Technical Notes

Image Generation:

  • Uses google-genai SDK with model from $VISUAL_EXPLAINER_GEMINI_MODEL env var, falling back to gemini-3-pro-image-preview (verify with provider if errors occur)
  • Configuration: response_modalities=["IMAGE"] with ImageConfig for aspect ratio/size
  • 4K images are approximately 6-7.5MB each (JPEG format)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
