First, Claude plans the prompt structure from the user request. Next, `gemini-3-pro-preview` refines layout grouping and enforces visual standards. The actual rendering step uses the `gemini-3-pro-image-preview` model. Once the figure is generated, Claude inspects block text and arrow directions, assigning a score from 1 to 10. If the score is below the target threshold of 9, the skill drafts targeted feedback and loops back to layout refinement. The system runs up to 5 iterations before saving files in `figures/ai_generated/`. You must provide the `GEMINI_API_KEY` environment variable for image generation. Passing `— style-ref: ` requires `tools/extract_paper_style.py` inside the project tree, because the skill aborts immediately if the style extractor is absent. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-illustration -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/paper-illustration/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/paper-illustration/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-illustration -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/paper-illustration/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-illustration -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/paper-illustration/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep paper-illustration ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/paper-illustration/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-illustration -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --path skills/paper-illustration ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/paper-illustration/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep --skill paper-illustration -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep/tree/HEAD/skills/paper-illustration/SKILL.md ## When to use it - create architecture diagrams for research publications - align diagram palettes and typography with CVPR or NeurIPS conventions - refine diagram arrows and labels across up to 5 automated review loops - mirror structural conventions from an existing paper using `— style-ref` ## Example prompts - Generate an architecture diagram for my paper based on method.md - Create a method illustration following academic standards — style-ref: paper.pdf - Draw a pipeline diagram for a NeurIPS paper submission ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.
