| 3 | ## Overview |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Access comprehensive LaTeX templates, formatting requirements, and submission guidelines for major scientific publication venues, academic conferences, research posters, and grant proposals. This skill provides ready-to-use templates and detailed specifications for successful academic submissions across disciplines. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Use this skill when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates. |
| 8 | |
| 9 | ## When to Use This Skill |
| 10 | |
| 11 | This skill should be used when: |
| 12 | - Preparing a manuscript for submission to a specific journal (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, etc.) |
| 13 | - Writing a conference paper with specific formatting requirements (NeurIPS, ICML, CHI, etc.) |
| 14 | - Creating an academic research poster for conferences |
| 15 | - Drafting grant proposals for federal agencies (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA) or private foundations |
| 16 | - Checking formatting requirements and page limits for target venues |
| 17 | - Customizing templates with author information and project details |
| 18 | - Verifying document compliance with venue specifications |
| 19 | |
| 20 | ## Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics |
| 21 | |
| 22 | **When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.** |
| 23 | |
| 24 | If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams: |
| 25 | - Use the **scientific-schematics** skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams |
| 26 | - Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language |
| 27 | - Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic |
| 28 | |
| 29 | **For new documents:** Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text. |
| 30 | |
| 31 | **How to generate schematics:** |
| 32 | ```bash |
| 33 | python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png |
| 34 | ``` |
| 35 | |
| 36 | The AI will automatically: |
| 37 | - Create publication-quality images with proper formatting |
| 38 | - Review and refine through multiple iterations |
| 39 | - Ensure accessibility (colorblind-friendly, high contrast) |
| 40 | - Save outputs in the figures/ directory |
| 41 | |
| 42 | **When to add schematics:** |
| 43 | - Methodology flowcharts for papers |
| 44 | - Conceptual framework diagrams |
| 45 | - System architecture illustrations |
| 46 | - Data flow diagrams |
| 47 | - Experimental design visualizations |
| 48 | - Research workflow diagrams |
| 49 | - Any complex concept that benefits from visualization |
| 50 | |
| 51 | For detailed guidance on creating schematics, refer to the scientific-schematics skill documentation. |
