scientific-schematics

scientific-schematics is a skill for Claude Code from dralkh/iktinah. It costs 68 tokens per session (5,500 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of scientific-schematics, MIT.

A tool for creating scientific diagrams and schematics from natural-language descriptions. It can produce visuals such as neural-network diagrams, system diagrams, flowcharts, and biological pathways, then review and refine their quality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create publication-oriented scientific schematics, process diagrams, architecture diagrams, biological pathways, and other explanatory figures.
Why use it?
It helps explain complex scientific ideas visually without requiring manual drawing or diagram code. Review and refinement can improve diagrams for papers, theses, grants, posters, and presentations.

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-schematics 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/example_usage.sh, scripts/generate_schematic_ai.py, scripts/generate_schematic.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Scientific Schematics and Diagrams

Overview

Scientific schematics and diagrams transform complex concepts into clear visual representations for publication. This skill uses Nano Banana 2 AI for diagram generation with Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview quality review.

How it works:

  • Describe your diagram in natural language
  • Nano Banana 2 generates publication-quality images automatically
  • Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview reviews quality against document-type thresholds
  • Smart iteration: Only regenerates if quality is below threshold
  • Publication-ready output in minutes
  • No coding, templates, or manual drawing required

Quality Thresholds by Document Type:

Document Type Threshold Description
journal 8.5/10 Nature, Science, peer-reviewed journals
conference 8.0/10 Conference papers
thesis 8.0/10 Dissertations, theses
grant 8.0/10 Grant proposals
preprint 7.5/10 arXiv, bioRxiv, etc.
report 7.5/10 Technical reports
poster 7.0/10 Academic posters
presentation 6.5/10 Slides, talks
default 7.5/10 General purpose

Simply describe what you want, and Nano Banana 2 creates it. All diagrams are stored in the figures/ subfolder and referenced in papers/posters.

Quick Start: Generate Any Diagram

Create any scientific diagram by simply describing it. Nano Banana 2 handles everything automatically with smart iteration:

# Generate for journal paper (highest quality threshold: 8.5/10)
python scripts/generate_schematic.py "CONSORT participant flow diagram with 500 screened, 150 excluded, 350 randomized" -o figures/consort.png --doc-type journal

# Generate for presentation (lower threshold: 6.5/10 - faster)
python scripts/generate_schematic.py "Transformer encoder-decoder architecture showing multi-head attention" -o figures/transformer.png --doc-type presentation

# Generate for poster (moderate threshold: 7.0/10)
python scripts/generate_schematic.py "MAPK signaling pathway from EGFR to gene transcription" -o figures/mapk_pathway.png --doc-type poster

# Custom max iterations (max 2)
python scripts/generate_schematic.py "Complex circuit diagram with op-amp, resistors, and capacitors" -o figures/circuit.png --iterations 2 --doc-type journal

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.
