Infographic Agent Kit

A backend-agnostic compiler that turns structured data into editable infographic frames. Claude, Codex, OMP or any other host shares one set of semantics and one visual contract.

input JSON ──▶ fp-ir/1 ──▶ fp-plan/1 ──▶ backend ──▶ audit
                facts        absolute      svg | figma-plugin
                checksum     coordinates

fp-plan/1 is fully resolved: every coordinate, colour and wrapped text line is decided before a backend is chosen. Two hosts therefore cannot drift.

Why a theme pack

The renderer contains no colour, size, radius or gap. Everything comes from a pack validated against schemas/theme.schema.json, and every field carries provenance:

"canvas.safe": {"status": "measured", "source": "out-vitalik", "note": "rect x=112 width=1696"},
"color.accent":  {"status": "measured", "source": "fp-contract", "note": "FP Color System variables"}

measured means it was read off a real artefact. unverified means the pack cannot argue from it. fp doctor lists them. This is what caught the original pack inventing a palette and mis-stating every type size.

A different team ships themes/<their-pack>.json and changes no code.

Backends

The Figma backend creates native text, rectangles and ellipses, and emits every connector, axis and ribbon as a real vector. It refuses to run inside a document listed in readOnlyDocuments, and it can create one page per run so a source file is never touched.

The production pipeline

content in ──▶ 1 read        fp_brief      shape, candidates + costs, search queries
           ──▶ 2 research    web search    open the results, record what was observed
           ──▶ 3 direction   fp_direction  references become decisions on pack surfaces
           ──▶ 4 build       fp_plan ▸ fp_svg ▸ fp_figma_script

Stage 2 is an open-web search. fp_direction warns when every reference is internal, because a direction assembled only from our own file reproduces the last frame.

Direction before composition

A frame that should look different records why. direction carries a statement, the references actually observed (source, date, observation, transform), and decisions that each name a pack surface they move. fp_direction refuses a reference that is only a brand name and a decision the renderer cannot express; the accepted direction travels into program.meta.direction. Process in docs/DIRECTION.md.

Two ways in

// free composition — the usual path for an editorial frame
{ "title": "...", "blocks": [
  { "kind": "cards", "columns": 2, "items": [ { "eyebrow": "Neutrality", "title": "...", "body": "...", "note": "..." } ] },
  { "kind": "panel", "blocks": [ { "kind": "text", "text": "..." } ] }
] }

// one grammar, when the frame really is one chart
{ "title": "...", "intent": "compare", "content": [ { "id": "base", "Network": "Base", "Revenue": 4820000 } ] }

Blocks: text, columns, cards, panel, kpi, steps, chart, divider, spacer. chart embeds any of the twenty grammars inside a layout, so composition and charting are not separate products.

Grammars

45 grammars, covering the full diagram-design taxonomy plus the chart types the FOUR PILLARS reports actually use:

examples/library.json and examples/grammars.json hold a worked specimen for each, and a test fails if a declared grammar has no renderer, no registry entry or no specimen.

Use

npm install && npm test

node dist/src/cli.js doctor                                  # pack provenance report
node dist/src/cli.js svg    input.json --out frame.svg       # offline proof
node dist/src/cli.js library examples/library.json --outDir /tmp/lib
node dist/src/cli.js script input.json \
     --page "2026-09-11 · run" --protect "FP Infographic"    # Figma Plugin API body

MCP over stdio: node dist/src/server.js exposes fp_themes, fp_templates, fp_doctor, fp_plan, fp_audit, fp_svg, fp_figma_script. fp_figma_script refuses to emit a script when the audit fails.

Rules that are enforced, not documented

• Content is clamped inside the pack's safe zone.

• No text below the pack minimum.

• Frame height follows content.

• A value must be printed or positionally encoded, or the run fails fidelity.

• An accent must be authorised by the brief or the pack; the pattern is chosen by data shape (mono, pair, categorical, sequential, diverging, ordered), never by hex.

• Competing hues cannot exceed the pack's categorical ceiling.

• Reads parallelise; writes are serialized through one agent.
