It employs a multi-agent architecture to retrieve data, plan visualizations, style figures, and critique the output, ensuring adherence to strict academic standards. ## When to Use This Skill - You need to generate methodology diagrams from text descriptions. - You want to create statistical plots (e.g., bar charts, line graphs, scatter plots) that meet academic publication standards. - You need to refine existing figures for better clarity, aesthetics, or faithfulness to the data. ## Core Capabilities 1. **Multi-Agent Orchestration**: Coordinates specialized agents (Retriever, Planner, Stylist, Visualizer, Critic) to handle complex illustration tasks. 2. **Methodology Diagrams**: Generates flowcharts and system architecture diagrams. 3. **Statistical Plots**: Produces high-quality plots for data visualization. 4. **Iterative Refinement**: Uses a critic agent to review and improve figures based on academic criteria. ## Workflow 1. **Input**: Provide a description of the figure or data to be visualized. 2. **Planning**: The Planner agent breaks down the request into actionable steps. 3. **Generation**: The Visualizer and Stylist agents create the initial draft. 4. **Critique & Refine**: The Critic agent reviews the output, and the system iteratively improves it. 5. **Output**: A high-resolution image file ready for inclusion in a manuscript. ## References - [Project Website](https://paperbanana.github.io/) (Placeholder based on typical project structure)
