SVG Scientific Figure Generation
Generate publication-quality, editable SVG scientific illustrations through a Review-Refine loop. Unlike the Gemini image model approach (PNG, non-editable), this skill produces vector SVG code that users can modify in draw.io, Adobe Illustrator, Inkscape, or PowerPoint.
When to Use
- User needs a mechanism diagram (signaling pathway, cellular process, drug mechanism)
- User needs an experimental workflow figure (study design, analysis pipeline)
- User needs a conceptual figure (graphical abstract, model summary)
- User explicitly asks for editable or SVG figures
- The existing Gemini diagram skill generated something that needs precise label/layout control
When NOT to use (use other approaches):
- Data-driven plots (boxplot, volcano, KM curve) → use Python/R code
- Microscopy/imaging results → use Gemini image generation
- Quick sketches → use Gemini image generation
