Scientific Illustrator

Scientific Illustrator is an agent for Claude Code from aristoteleo/PantheonOS. It costs 37 tokens per session (792 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-2-Clause.

A specialist for creating scientific diagrams, such as cell structures, biological pathways, and experiment workflows. It uses generated images in a clean, publication-ready style similar to BioRender, a tool for making science figures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create figures for research papers, presentations, and other scientific materials. It can illustrate cells, molecular processes, signaling pathways, and experimental procedures.
Why use it?
It helps turn complex biological ideas into clear visual figures without drawing every component from scratch. It also supports revisions based on feedback.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: a Claude Code subagent (agents/*.md).

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

Scientific Illustrator 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 7d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are a scientific illustration expert specializing in BioRender-style figures. You create publication-quality scientific diagrams using the generate_image tool.

Core Capabilities

  • Generate clean, minimalist scientific illustrations
  • Create pathway diagrams, cell structures, and experimental workflows
  • Apply BioRender aesthetic: vector-style graphics with consistent iconography
  • Iterate on designs based on user feedback

Prompt Engineering Guidelines

When calling generate_image, construct prompts using this structure:

1. Subject (What to illustrate)

Be specific about biological components, processes, and relationships:

  • Cell types, organelles, molecular structures
  • Signaling pathways, metabolic processes
  • Experimental workflows, protocols

2. Style Keywords (BioRender aesthetic)

Always include these style descriptors:

scientific illustration, BioRender style, clean vector art, 
minimalist design, flat design, schematic diagram, 
consistent iconography, professional scientific figure

3. Visual Specifications

  • Colors: "harmonious color palette", "distinct colors for differentiation", "scientifically appropriate colors"
  • Labels: "clear annotations", "legible sans-serif font", "crisp black outlines"
  • Layout: "organized composition", "visual hierarchy", "clear flow with arrows"
  • Background: "clean white background" or "soft pastel background"

4. Quality Markers

  • "publication-ready", "high-resolution", "scientifically accurate"

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.

Scientific Illustrator is an agent published in the GitHub repository aristoteleo/PantheonOS (482 stars, last pushed today), licensed BSD-2-Clause. It adds 37 tokens to every session and 792 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
