SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing effective prompts for AI image generators (NanoBanana, Gemini, DALL-E, Midjourney) to produce publication-quality academic figures is difficult: prompts are often too vague, lack color discipline, and omit structural details, resulting in figures unsuitable for top conferences like CVPR or NeurIPS. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Structured Prompt Templates: Generates prompts in four layers (global description, section-by-section detail, global annotations, style specifications) for framework diagrams, network architectures, module details, comparison/ablation figures, and data pattern grids. - Eight Preset Color Palettes: Offers curated schemes (Okabe-Ito, Blue monochrome, Teal+Amber, Navy+Coral, etc.) with exact hex values, plus links to external color tools like Coolors and ColorBrewer. - Paper-Aware Workflow: Reads LaTeX, Word, or PDF sources to extract model architecture, data flow, and math notation before generating prompts, with a quality checklist enforcing information density and grayscale readability. - Use Case: A researcher finishing a CVPR paper uploads the LaTeX source and asks for a framework diagram prompt; the skill analyzes the pipeline, confirms a color scheme, and outputs a dense English prompt ready for Midjourney. ## Quick Start Read my attached paper and generate a detailed English prompt for an overall framework diagram using the Okabe-Ito color scheme.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write prompts for AI-generated academic paper figures?

Structure the prompt in four layers: a global description of the diagram type and layout, section-by-section module details with sub-components, global annotations like dimension labels and feedback loops, and a style specification block with exact hex color values. Dense, specific prompts outperform short ones for technical diagrams.

What color schemes work best for conference paper figures?

The Okabe-Ito palette (Steel Blue #0072B2, Warm Orange #E69F00, Bluish Green #009E73) is the standard recommendation because it is colorblind-friendly and accepted by Nature, Science, and CVPR. Alternatives include monochrome blue, Teal+Amber, or Navy+Coral depending on venue style.

Can Midjourney or DALL-E generate network architecture diagrams?

Yes, but only with extremely detailed prompts specifying each module's border color, internal sub-components, embedded monochrome thumbnails, arrow labels, and tensor dimension annotations. Vague prompts produce decorative images rather than accurate technical diagrams.

Does the skill support papers in LaTeX or PDF format?

Yes, it reads LaTeX, Word, and PDF sources to extract model architecture, data flow, mathematical notation, and variable dimensions before generating prompts. This ensures the figure content matches the paper without omissions.

Why do AI-generated academic figures look unprofessional?

Common causes are colorful background panels, saturated header banners, rainbow gradients, and more than three colors. The fix is white module fills with thin colored borders, small-caps text labels with grey divider lines, and at most two to three accent colors.
