Alterlab Scientific Schematics

alterlab-ieu/alterlab-scientific-schematics

Creates publication-quality scientific diagrams with Nano Banana 2 AI and smart iterative refinement, using Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview for quality review and regenerating only when quality falls below the document-type threshold. Use when the request is for a technical or scientific diagram — neural-network architectures, system/block diagrams, flowcharts, biological pathways, circuits, or other complex scientific visuals. For general photos, illustrations, or artwork use generate-image, for text-based Mermaid diagrams use mermaid. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
