Claude Scientific Writer is an AI-assisted research and writing tool that searches literature and produces documents such as scientific papers, reports, posters, grant proposals, and reviews with citations. Researchers and technical writers can use it as a Claude Code plugin, Python package, or command-line tool, with the catalogue entries defining agent workflows for it.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00067 | $0.03936 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00027 | $0.01574 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00787 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00394 |
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 28d 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.
This is a copy
91% identical to scientific-schematics — 491 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

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 3.6 Flash quality review.
How it works:
- Describe your diagram in natural language
- Nano Banana 2 generates publication-quality images automatically
- Gemini 3.6 Flash 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.
What the output is: a raster PNG at whatever resolution the image model returns. This skill has no vector path and no DPI control — if a journal demands PDF, EPS, or 300 dpi TIFF, convert the PNG downstream and check the result at final print size.
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 ships with it
5 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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-schematics is a skill published in the GitHub repository K-Dense-AI/claude-scientific-writer (2,532 stars, last pushed 7d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 67 tokens to every session and 3,936 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to scientific-schematics, differing in 491 lines, and is treated as a copy.
