AntV Infographic skills Claude skills

Agent skills from AntV's infographic engine: one writes a self-contained infographic from your text; four others help contributors extend its templates.

Our verdict Recommended

A focused skill set from the engine's own authors; the creator skill is useful on its own, while the other four only matter if you contribute to the library.

What AntV Infographic skills does

The repository is the AntV Infographic framework, a declarative engine that renders infographics as SVG from a small indentation-based syntax (a template name, a data block, a theme block). Its README lists about 200 built-in templates and a streaming mode where partial AI output renders progressively. The agent skills sit in the skills folder.

The user-facing one is infographic-creator (about 15 KB, written mostly in Chinese). It teaches the agent the syntax: the first line must be infographic <template-name>, which main data field matches which template family (list, sequence, compare, hierarchy and so on), how to use icons and palettes, and a language lock so English input stays English. The agent then produces an HTML file that renders the infographic. infographic-syntax-creator generates only the syntax from a description.

The other three, infographic-item-creator, infographic-structure-creator and infographic-template-updater, are for people changing the library itself: they produce TypeScript components that follow the framework's registration and layout rules, with one reference prompt file each. There are no scripts or evals. The framework is MIT-licensed and the repository has CI.

Good for

  • Turning an article or outline into a rendered infographic in HTML
  • Developers building on the AntV Infographic library
  • Streaming AI-generated infographics in a web app

Not for

  • Print-ready or raster design work in a design tool
  • Users who need English-language skill instructions

Dependencies and costs

  • @antv/infographic npm package (or its CDN build) in the generated page
  • Node.js for working on the library itself

Security review

Review before installing

Instruction-only skills for producing AntV Infographic diagrams from a text syntax, with sub-skills for items, structures and templates. The skills have no scripts or allowed-tools; the main one has the agent produce HTML that pulls the AntV library from unpkg at the latest version. The repo itself is a large library whose code we did not have.

Worth knowing

  • Runs remote code at an unpinned versionThe skill tells the agent to generate an HTML page that loads https://unpkg.com/@antv/infographic@latest/dist/infographic.min.js, an unpinned third-party script that runs in whoever opens the page.skills/infographic-creator/SKILL.md:450
  • Makes network requestsThe manual install downloads skills.zip from the project's GitHub release page with curl and unzips it into .claude/skills; it is not piped to a shell.README.md:140

What we checked

The repository (778 files) on Oct 29, 2026. Not a full review: 765 of 778 files were not downloaded (large repository; we reviewed the skill folders); it relies on code outside the repository: npm package @antv/infographic (loaded by the generated HTML from unpkg/CDN); the library source (about 616 code files) and plugin manifests were not downloaded; only the README and the five skill folders were available (765 of 778 files missing).

NVIDIA SkillSpector static scan: 2 pattern hits (Data Exfiltration 1, Agent Snooping 1). The two hits are the README's curl-and-unzip install snippet and a skill-enumeration match on a link between skill files. The skill folders contain Markdown instructions and prompt references only.

A review, not a certification. Skills change after we check them — read the files before installing.

Can it run unattended?

Not really. Single-shot generation of one infographic at a time, with no verification loop.

FAQ

What is AntV Infographic?

It is AntV's open-source engine that renders infographics from a short declarative syntax, with about 200 templates, themes and a built-in editor. The repository also ships five agent skills for generating the syntax and extending the library.

How do I use the infographic-creator skill?

Copy skills/infographic-creator into your agent's skills folder and ask for an infographic from your text. The skill instructs the agent to write the AntV syntax and wrap it in an HTML file that renders it. The skill text is in Chinese but it keeps the output language of your request.

Are the other four skills useful to me?

Only if you contribute to the library. The item, structure and template skills generate TypeScript components inside the repository's src/designs folders.

Is AntV Infographic safe to use?

We found no scripts in the skill folders, only instructions. The library itself is MIT-licensed and published on npm; review any generated page before hosting it.
