editorial-illustrations

Generate meaning-carrying editorial data-illustrations in the monotykamary / Linear aesthetic (near-black grayscale, Inter display + mono labels, hairline framed figures) with a single coral accent. This is a GENERATIVE GUIDE, not a template gallery: it teaches the "claim -> geometry" method so any session can invent the RIGHT figure for what a post actually argues, then render it as a self-contained, theme-aware, reduced-motion-safe HTML/SVG figure. Use when writing/illustrating a blog post, essay, spec, or slide and you want a chart, diagram, or illustration that carries a thesis (not decoration) in the house style. Triggers: "make a chart/diagram/illustration for this", "visualize this argument", "monotykamary/Linear style figure", "editorial graphic".

# Editorial illustrations — claim → geometry

The look you want (monotykamary.com, linear.app/now) is not a chart library. It is
a **discipline**: every figure is a single argument rendered as geometry, framed in
a hairline box, captioned in mono uppercase with the *meaning*, drawn in grayscale
with exactly one accent. Get the discipline right and any shape reads as "house."
Copy templates blindly and it reads as slop.

**Do not reach for a fixed set of charts.** Reach for the method below and build the
figure this specific sentence needs. The six worked examples in
`references/worked-examples.md` are proof the method generalizes, not a menu.
