version: "1.0.0" name: ai4scholar-sci-draw description: "Use AI4Scholar sci_draw for scientific figure generation and editing: text-to-image, Chinese scientific diagrams, image editing, style transfer, multi-image composition, iterative refinement, figure review, and SVG vector output. Trigger for AI4Scholar scientific drawing, sci_draw, paper figures, mechanism diagrams, graphical abstracts, neuroscience/BCI schematics, or publication-style figure polishing."

AI4Scholar Sci Draw

Use this skill for scientific figure generation or figure refinement through AI4Scholar sci_draw.

Core Rules

• Do not invent experimental results, data values, brain maps, statistical annotations, or electrode effects.
• For data figures, use the user's real data and deterministic plotting tools first; use sci_draw for schematics, conceptual figures, mechanism diagrams, or style refinement.
• Keep figure text short and publication-readable.
• Preserve scientific meaning during style transfer or editing.

Tool From The Source Guide

Good Use Cases

• Graphical abstract for a manuscript.
• EEG/ERP experiment procedure diagram.
• BCI pipeline figure: acquisition, preprocessing, feature extraction, classifier, feedback.
• Management or psychology scenario-experiment flow.
• Text-mining or machine-learning architecture schematic.
• Polishing an existing conceptual figure into journal style.
• Converting a rough sketch into SVG-like vector style.

Figure Workflow

1. Identify figure type:

• mechanism,
• workflow,
• architecture,
• experimental procedure,
• graphical abstract,
• review framework,
• visual polishing.

1. Extract required scientific content:

• constructs,
• variables,
• sample/stimuli,
• pipeline steps,
• model components,
• labels.

1. Draft a compact prompt.
2. Generate or edit using sci_draw.
3. Review:

• scientific accuracy,
• label correctness,
• readability,
• color accessibility,
• consistency with target journal.

1. Iterate with specific correction prompts.

Figure Review Checklist

Common Corrections

Keep the original structure unchanged, translate labels into English, and reduce decorative elements.

Make EEG preprocessing, feature extraction, classifier, and feedback a horizontal workflow. Do not add nonexistent data results.

Convert the figure into a theory-mechanism model suitable for an SSCI management paper. Preserve variable names and arrow directions.
