## Description

Create publication-quality scientific diagrams using Nano Banana 2 AI with smart iterative refinement. Uses Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview for quality review. Only regenerates if quality is below threshold for your document type. Specialized in neural network architectures, system diagrams, flowcharts, biological pathways, and complex scientific visualizations.

# 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**:

```bash
# 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
