scientific▌

This skill provides systematic review and editing of scientific manuscripts (research articles, reviews, perspectives) to improve clarity, structure, scientific rigor, and reader comprehension. It applies a multi-pass approach covering structure, scientific logic, language, and formatting to transform drafts into publication-ready documents.

Research ideation partner for generating hypotheses, exploring interdisciplinary connections, and developing novel methodologies. \n \n Engages as a collaborative thought partner through five-phase workflow: understanding context, divergent exploration, connection making, critical evaluation, and synthesis \n Employs cross-domain analogies, assumption reversal, scale shifting, constraint manipulation, and technology speculation to generate diverse ideas \n Includes adaptive techniques for unstic

Publication-quality scientific diagrams generated with AI and smart iterative refinement. \n \n Supports neural network architectures, system diagrams, flowcharts, biological pathways, circuit diagrams, and complex scientific visualizations through natural language descriptions \n Uses Nano Banana Pro for generation and Gemini 3 Pro for quality review, with smart iteration that stops early if quality meets the threshold for your document type (journal: 8.5/10, poster: 7.0/10, presentation: 6.5/1

Build visually engaging scientific presentations with AI-generated slides, research-backed citations, and professional design. \n \n Generates complete slide decks as PDF images using Nano Banana Pro AI, with support for PowerPoint and LaTeX Beamer workflows for editable or publication-quality output \n Enforces visual-first design philosophy: high-quality figures, diagrams, and graphics dominate each slide, with minimal text (3–4 bullets, 4–6 words each) serving as speaker notes \n Integrates r

A conversational framework for systematic scientific problem selection based on Fischbach & Walsh's "Problem choice and decision trees in science and engineering" (Cell, 2024).
