SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Creating publication-quality flowcharts, system architecture diagrams, and conceptual figures for academic papers is difficult when you lack design skills, and generic prompts given to image-generation AI often produce unprofessional results. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Diagram Type Recognition: Distinguishes flowcharts, architecture diagrams, concept maps, org charts, and timelines from data charts (which are routed to a separate Python-plotting skill). - Structured Prompt Templates: Provides ready-to-fill prompt templates for general diagrams, flowcharts, and neural network architectures, including layout, color schemes, and annotation rules. - Academic Style Guidance: Ships Nature/Science-style and minimalist academic color palettes plus tool recommendations (Nano Banana, Midjourney, DALL-E 3). - Use Case: You need a neural network architecture figure for a paper submission. The skill interviews you about layers and relationships, then outputs a complete prompt specifying layer colors, dimension annotations, and a red dashed box highlighting your innovation, ready to paste into an image AI. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to generate an image-AI prompt for a flowchart of your experimental pipeline, describing the main steps and whether labels should be in Chinese or English.

Frequently Asked Questions about figures-diagram

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a flowchart for an academic paper with AI?

Describe the diagram's purpose, main steps, and their relationships, and the skill produces a structured prompt specifying layout direction, step colors, arrow styles, and annotation rules. Paste that prompt into an image-generation tool such as Nano Banana or DALL-E 3.

What prompt should I use for a neural network architecture diagram?

Use the architecture template that lists each layer with its type, parameters, and color, plus input/output dimensions. It also marks innovations with a red dashed box and assigns color families to convolution, pooling, fully connected, and attention layers.

Which image AI tool is best for academic diagrams?

Nano Banana is recommended first because it is designed for academic figures. DALL-E 3 handles complex structural descriptions better, while Midjourney suits artistic concept images and supports iterative variations.

Can this skill generate data charts like bar or line plots?

No. Data-driven charts such as line charts, bar charts, pie charts, scatter plots, and heatmaps are explicitly out of scope and are delegated to the separate figures-python skill, which plots exact numerical values with code.

What color schemes work for Nature or Science style figures?

The skill provides a Nature/Science palette (e.g., #2E86AB blue, #A23B72 magenta, #F18F01 orange) and a minimalist academic palette. It recommends blue for inputs/outputs, orange for core processing, and red dashed lines for innovation highlights.
