Post-process any completed markdown report (trend-report, research-report, or generic) into a themed, self-contained HTML file — optionally with interactive Chart.js data visualizations and Excalidraw concept diagrams embedded as inline SVG. Analyzes the report structure, identifies data-rich sections (statistics, tables, distributions, value chains, timelines, cost comparisons), generates themed charts and diagrams, and assembles a polished HTML deliverable with navigation sidebar — without changing the original markdown. Also supports exporting to PDF and DOCX formats via the `formats` parameter. This is the single output skill for all report formats — it replaces the deprecated cogni-research:export-report. Use this skill whenever the user has an existing text-only report and wants to make it visual or export it: "enrich report", "add charts to report", "visualize my report", "make the report visual", "turn this into a visual HTML", "export report", "save as PDF", "export to PDF", "export to Word", "export to DOCX", "download report", "convert report", "make it pretty", "publish report", "report mit Diagrammen anreichern", "Bericht visualisieren", "als PDF exportieren", "add data visualizations", "generate HTML version with charts", "I need charts in my trend report", "make this presentable with visuals". Also trigger when the user mentions tips-trend-report.md, output/report.md, or any markdown report that "needs visuals", "looks boring", "is text-only", or should become a "dashboard-style" or "themed HTML" output. This skill works on EXISTING reports (post-processing) — it does NOT create new reports (use research-report/trend-report), does NOT create slide decks (use story-to-slides), does NOT create posters or journey maps (use story-to-big-picture), does NOT create web landing pages (use story-to-web), does NOT create TIPS dashboards (use trends-dashboard), and does NOT polish prose (use cogni-copywriting).

Render a big-block-brief.md (v1.0) into a structured solution architecture diagram using Excalidraw MCP — tier-banded grid with solution blocks, path connections, SPIs, foundations, and implementation roadmap. Use this skill whenever: the user asks to "render big block", "render the big block", "draw the solution architecture", "visualize the big block", "create excalidraw from big block brief", "Big Block rendern", "Lösungsarchitektur zeichnen", "render my big-block-brief", or when any upstream agent or skill produces a big-block-brief.md and needs it rendered into an Excalidraw diagram. Do NOT confuse with story-to-big-block (which creates the brief from value-modeler data) — this skill takes an existing brief and renders it into a visual diagram. If the user has a brief file ready, this is the right skill. If they have value-modeler output and want a brief first, use story-to-big-block instead. Pipeline: Parse brief → canvas setup → title banner → tier bands → solution blocks → path connections → SPI/Foundation cards → roadmap timeline → footer → export. Dark/light color mode auto-detected. ~150-250 Excalidraw elements.

Render a big-picture-brief.md (v3.0) into a richly illustrated Excalidraw scene — 1100-1500 elements across 5-6 stations, each a detailed landscape object built from Excalidraw primitives. Use this skill whenever: the user asks to "render big picture", "render the big picture", "draw the big picture", "illustrate the brief", "create excalidraw from brief", "render the journey map", "Big Picture rendern", "Excalidraw erstellen", "Journey Map zeichnen", "visualize the brief", "turn this brief into a visual", "make the big picture scene", "render my big-picture-brief", or when any upstream agent or skill produces a big-picture-brief.md and needs it rendered into an illustrated Excalidraw canvas. Do NOT confuse with story-to-big-picture (which creates the brief from a narrative) — this skill takes an existing brief and renders it into a visual scene. If the user has a brief file ready, this is the right skill. If they have a narrative and want a brief first, use story-to-big-picture instead. Pipeline: N station-structure-artists (Pass 1) + N station-enrichment-artists (Pass 2) + 4 zone-reviewers. Dark/light color mode auto-detected. Optional composition sketch via Excalidraw MCP.

Render a presentation-brief.md (v4.0) into a self-contained HTML slide presentation with speaker notes toggle, keyboard navigation, themed styling, and Mermaid diagram support. After rendering, supports an interactive refinement loop where users can adjust individual slides — text fixes are applied directly to HTML, structural changes trigger a targeted re-render. Use this skill whenever the user mentions "HTML slides", "HTML presentation", "browser presentation", "render slides as HTML", "self-contained slides", "slide deck in browser", "web slides", "present in browser", or wants a presentation without PowerPoint. Also use when the user asks to "open slides in browser", "export slides as HTML", "refine slides", "adjust slide", "fix slide", or says "no PowerPoint". Works with any presentation-brief.md generated by story-to-slides.

Review a visual brief from three stakeholder perspectives — design quality, audience experience, and usability. Supports all cogni-visual brief types: presentation-brief, big-picture-brief, web-brief, storyboard-brief, and big-block-brief. Returns a structured verdict (accept/revise/reject) with prioritized improvements. Use this skill whenever the user mentions "review brief", "check brief quality", "assess brief", "brief review", "review my presentation brief", "review my big picture brief", "is this brief ready", "stakeholder review", "review from audience perspective", "review from design perspective", or wants quality assurance on a visual brief before rendering. Also trigger when the user asks to review an existing brief after manual edits, or wants to evaluate whether a brief is ready for the PPTX, Excalidraw, or Pencil rendering pipeline.

Transform TIPS value-modeler output (tips-value-model.json, tips-big-block.md, tips-solution-ranking.md) into a visual Big Block solution architecture brief for Excalidraw rendering. Use this skill whenever the user mentions "big block", "solution architecture diagram", "Lösungsarchitektur", "Big Block visualisieren", "Big Block rendern", "solution landscape", "solution diagram", "TIPS visual", "value model visual", "Big Block erstellen", or wants to convert value-modeler Phase 4 output into a structured visual diagram. Also trigger when the user has completed a TIPS value-modeler run and asks to visualize, render, or diagram the results. Produces a big-block-brief.md (v1.0) that can be rendered via Excalidraw MCP. Important: this skill transforms STRUCTURED DATA (not narratives) — the input is JSON/markdown from the value-modeler, not prose. For narrative-based visuals, use story-to-big-picture instead.

Transform any narrative (insight summary, trend report, strategy document) into a single-canvas visual journey map — a "big picture" — where each narrative section becomes an illustrated landscape object in a cohesive scene. Use this skill whenever the user mentions "big picture", "visual journey map", "landscape poster", "illustrated canvas", "visual story map", "spatial journey", "poster for workshop", "Poster für die Geschäftsführung", or "Big Picture erstellen". Also trigger when the user wants to convert a narrative into a single illustrated scene with stations (not slides, not a web page, not a storyboard — those are different skills). Covers requests for A0-A3 poster formats, dark/light themes, factory/cityscape/airport panorama metaphors, and both English and German output. Produces a big-picture-brief.md (v3.0) that the big-picture agent renders via Excalidraw MCP. Important: this skill CREATES the brief from a narrative source — it does NOT render an existing brief (use render-big-picture for that).

Transform any narrative (insight summary, trend report, strategy document, sales pitch, project update) into an optimized multi-slide presentation brief that the PPTX skill renders into PowerPoint. Use this skill whenever the user mentions "presentation", "slide deck", "slides", "PowerPoint", "Foliensatz", "Praesentation erstellen", "Folien aus Bericht", "pitch deck", "create slides from report", or wants to convert prose into slide-level message architecture. Also trigger when the user needs pyramid communication, number plays, assertion headlines, or speaker notes for a presentation. Covers Why Change projects, research reports, competitive intelligence, trend panoramas, and both English and German output. Produces a presentation-brief.md (v4.0) that the PPTX agent renders. Important: this skill CREATES the brief from a narrative source — it does NOT render an existing brief (use PPTX skill for that), does NOT create a single-canvas poster (use story-to-big-picture), does NOT create a web page (use story-to-web), and does NOT enhance prose (use Copywriter skill).

Transform any narrative (insight summary, trend report, strategy document, sales pitch) into a multi-poster print storyboard brief for executive walkthroughs. Use this skill whenever the user mentions "storyboard", "poster series", "print posters from narrative", "Poster erstellen", "Storyboard aus Bericht", "Posterpraesentation", "Druckposter", "Poster fuer Workshop", "poster walkthrough", "create poster storyboard", "physical walkthrough posters", or wants to paginate a narrative into 3-5 portrait DIN A posters with stacked web sections. Also trigger for room-tour materials, guided exhibition posters, and arc-station-per-poster layouts in both English and German. Produces a storyboard-brief.md that the storyboard agent renders via Pencil MCP. Important: this skill CREATES the brief from a narrative source — it does NOT render an existing brief (use storyboard agent for that), does NOT create slides (use story-to-slides), does NOT create a single-canvas journey map (use story-to-big-picture), does NOT create a web page (use story-to-web), and does NOT polish prose (use Copywriter skill).

Transform any narrative (insight summary, trend report, strategy document, sales pitch, project update) into an optimized scrollable web narrative brief that the web agent renders via Pencil MCP into a .pen file. Use this skill whenever the user mentions "web narrative", "landing page from narrative", "scrollable web page", "web story", "Webseite aus Bericht", "Landingpage erstellen", "Web-Narrative", "scrollbare Webseite", "create a web page from report", "single-page narrative", or wants to convert prose into a scroll-driven section architecture with design tokens and auto-layout. Also trigger when the user needs style guide selection, section type mapping, hero/CTA optimization, or image prompt generation for a web-format narrative. Covers Why Change projects, research reports, competitive intelligence, trend panoramas, and both English and German output. Produces a web-brief.md that the web agent renders. Important: this skill CREATES the brief from a narrative source — it does NOT render an existing brief (use web agent for that), does NOT create slides (use story-to-slides), does NOT create a single-canvas poster (use story-to-big-picture), does NOT create print storyboard posters (use story-to-storyboard), and does NOT polish prose (use Copywriter skill).
