Skill3 starsChanged 8 months agoMITView on GitHub
Create polished technical diagrams for CS papers, slides, posters, demos, and repo documentation. Use when a Mermaid diagram is not enough and the task needs a cleaner architecture figure, system overview, pipeline graphic, benchmark setup diagram, or agent workflow illustration.

tondevrelSkillscikit-bio
Library for bioinformatics and community ecology statistics. Provides data structures and algorithms for sequences, alignments, phylogenetics, and diversity analysis. Essential for microbiome research and ecological data science. Use for alpha/beta diversity metrics, ordination (PCoA), phylogenetic trees, sequence manipulation (DNA/RNA/Protein), distance matrices, PERMANOVA, and community ecology analysis.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
9 rules. 0 are common, 7 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 14 edited versions we read keep these.
7
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 8
Use this skill for polished technical figures, not for routine text-native diagrams.
- Distinctive: line 21
Start from the message the figure must communicate.
- Distinctive: line 24
Avoid overloading one figure with both architecture and results.
- Distinctive: line 25
Prefer a small number of well-grouped components over exhaustive detail.
- Very specific: line 29
Read references/best_practices.md when you need diagram design guidance.
- Distinctive: line 31
Use local scripts only when the configured image-generation workflow is available and the user actually wants rendered figures:
- Very specific: line 39
Use markdown-mermaid-writing for editable diagrams in docs and notes.
- Distinctive: line 40
Use this skill when the figure is headed into a paper, poster, deck, or polished README.
- Distinctive: line 44
When the user asks for a diagram without a target format, return:
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 14 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
Scientific Schematics
Use this skill for polished technical figures, not for routine text-native diagrams. Prefer Mermaid first when editability matters more than appearance.
Good Fits
- model architecture overviews
- system component diagrams
- agent or tool-call workflows
- training / inference pipelines
- benchmark or evaluation setup figures
- data processing or serving architecture diagrams
Working Rules
- Start from the message the figure must communicate.
- Label components by role, not by decorative wording.
- Make data flow, control flow, and evaluation boundaries explicit.
- Avoid overloading one figure with both architecture and results.
- Prefer a small number of well-grouped components over exhaustive detail.
Local Resources
Read references/best_practices.md when you need diagram design guidance.
Use local scripts only when the configured image-generation workflow is available and the user actually wants rendered figures:
scripts/generate_schematic.pyscripts/generate_schematic_ai.py
The quick-reference files in references/ are inherited upstream support material. Use them selectively.
Relationship to Other Skills
- Use
markdown-mermaid-writingfor editable diagrams in docs and notes. - Use this skill when the figure is headed into a paper, poster, deck, or polished README.
Default Output
When the user asks for a diagram without a target format, return:
- the figure concept
- required components and labels
- a recommended diagram structure
- whether Mermaid or a rendered schematic is the better fit
Does it work?
Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.
No reviews yet
People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.
- It worked
- Partly
- It didn't
Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.
Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
