When to use it
Generates publication-style scientific diagrams as raster PNG images from a natural-language prompt, using Nano Banana 2 via OpenRouter, then scores each image with Gemini 3.6 Flash against a document-type threshold (journal, conference, thesis, grant, preprint, poster, etc.) and regenerates up to twice. Writes versioned PNGs and a review_log.json. Use when drawing neural network architectures, CONSORT or PRISMA flowcharts, biological signaling pathways, system or block diagrams, or circuit schematics. Use when a figure needs a quality score and critique recorded for a paper, poster, or grant. Not for vector, PDF, SVG, or EPS output, or for data plots; use a plotting skill for those. Prompts leave the machine, so avoid unpublished or patient data.Example requests
Ask your agent in plain language, for example:- “Draw me a PRISMA flow diagram for my systematic review: 1,240 records identified, 310 duplicates removed, 930 screened, 112 full-text assessed, 41 included.”
- “I’m submitting to Nature Communications. I need a figure of our U-Net variant: 4 encoder blocks (64-512 channels) with 3x3 convs and max-pool, a bottleneck, 4 decoder blocks with skip connections, and a 1x1 conv output head. Save it to figures/unet_arch.png and tell me whether it would pass review for the journal threshold.”
- “For my grant proposal I need a clear picture showing how EGF binding leads to a kinase cascade that ends with transcription changes in the nucleus. Something I can drop into the methods background section, with a quality check on it.”
