scientific-schematics

scientific-schematics is a skill for Claude Code from Zaoqu-Liu/ScienceClaw. It costs 64 tokens per session (5,536 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of scientific-schematics, MIT.

A tool for creating scientific diagrams from written descriptions, including neural-network layouts, system diagrams, flowcharts, and biological pathways. It also reviews generated diagrams and can refine them when needed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make diagrams for journal articles, conference papers, theses, grants, preprints, reports, posters, and presentations.
Why use it?
It removes the need to draw complex research diagrams manually and helps check whether they are suitable for different document types.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: allowed-tools in frontmatter.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python scripts/generate_schematic.py "CONSORT participant flow diagram with 500 screened, 150 excluded, 350 randomized" -o figures/consort.png --doc-type journa.

Good fit Use it to make diagrams for journal articles, conference papers, theses, grants, preprints, reports, 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 8d 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.

Scientific Schematics and Diagrams

Overview

Scientific schematics and diagrams transform complex concepts into clear visual representations for publication. This skill uses Nano Banana Pro AI for diagram generation with Gemini 3 Pro quality review.

How it works:

  • Describe your diagram in natural language
  • Nano Banana Pro generates publication-quality images automatically
  • Gemini 3 Pro 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 Pro 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 Pro 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

scientific-schematics is a skill published in the GitHub repository Zaoqu-Liu/ScienceClaw (60 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 64 tokens to every session and 5,536 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 89% identical to scientific-schematics, differing in 46 lines, and is treated as a copy.
