Nano Banana Pro handles everything automatically with **smart iteration**:\n\n```bash\n# Generate for journal paper (highest quality threshold: 8.5\u002F10)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"CONSORT participant flow diagram with 500 screened, 150 excluded, 350 randomized\" -o figures\u002Fconsort.png --doc-type journal\n\n# Generate for presentation (lower threshold: 6.5\u002F10 - faster)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"Transformer encoder-decoder architecture showing multi-head attention\" -o figures\u002Ftransformer.png --doc-type presentation\n\n# Generate for poster (moderate threshold: 7.0\u002F10)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"MAPK signaling pathway from EGFR to gene transcription\" -o figures\u002Fmapk_pathway.png --doc-type poster\n\n# Custom max iterations (max 2)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"Complex circuit diagram with op-amp, resistors, and capacitors\" -o figures\u002Fcircuit.png --iterations 2 --doc-type journal\n```\n\n**What happens behind the scenes:**\n1. **Generation 1**: Nano Banana Pro creates initial image following scientific diagram best practices\n2. **Review 1**: **Gemini 3 Pro** evaluates quality against document-type threshold\n3. **Decision**: If quality >= threshold → **DONE** (no more iterations needed!)\n4. **If below threshold**: Improved prompt based on critique, regenerate\n5. **Repeat**: Until quality meets threshold OR max iterations reached\n\n**Smart Iteration Benefits:**\n- ✅ Saves API calls if first generation is good enough\n- ✅ Higher quality standards for journal papers\n- ✅ Faster turnaround for presentations\u002Fposters\n- ✅ Appropriate quality for each use case\n\n**Output**: Versioned images plus a detailed review log with quality scores, critiques, and early-stop information.\n\n### Configuration\n\nSet your OpenRouter API key:\n```bash\nexport OPENROUTER_API_KEY='your_api_key_here'\n```\n\nGet an API key at: https:\u002F\u002Fopenrouter.ai\u002Fkeys\n\n### AI Generation Best Practices\n\n**Effective Prompts for Scientific Diagrams:**\n\n✓ **Good prompts** (specific, detailed):\n- \"CONSORT flowchart showing participant flow from screening (n=500) through randomization to final analysis\"\n- \"Transformer neural network architecture with encoder stack on left, decoder stack on right, showing multi-head attention and cross-attention connections\"\n- \"Biological signaling cascade: EGFR receptor → RAS → RAF → MEK → ERK → nucleus, with phosphorylation steps labeled\"\n- \"Block diagram of IoT system: sensors → microcontroller → WiFi module → cloud server → mobile app\"\n\n✗ **Avoid vague prompts**:\n- \"Make a flowchart\" (too generic)\n- \"Neural network\" (which type? what components?)\n- \"Pathway diagram\" (which pathway? what molecules?)\n\n**Key elements to include:**\n- **Type**: Flowchart, architecture diagram, pathway, circuit, etc.\n- **Components**: Specific elements to include\n- **Flow\u002FDirection**: How elements connect (left-to-right, top-to-bottom)\n- **Labels**: Key annotations or text to include\n- **Style**: Any specific visual requirements\n\n**Scientific Quality Guidelines** (automatically applied):\n- Clean white\u002Flight background\n- High contrast for readability\n- Clear, readable labels (minimum 10pt)\n- Professional typography (sans-serif fonts)\n- Colorblind-friendly colors (Okabe-Ito palette)\n- Proper spacing to prevent crowding\n- Scale bars, legends, axes where appropriate\n\n## When to Use This Skill\n\nThis skill should be used when:\n- Creating neural network architecture diagrams (Transformers, CNNs, RNNs, etc.)\n- Illustrating system architectures and data flow diagrams\n- Drawing methodology flowcharts for study design (CONSORT, PRISMA)\n- Visualizing algorithm workflows and processing pipelines\n- Creating circuit diagrams and electrical schematics\n- Depicting biological pathways and molecular interactions\n- Generating network topologies and hierarchical structures\n- Illustrating conceptual frameworks and theoretical models\n- Designing block diagrams for technical papers\n\n## How to Use This Skill\n\n**Simply describe your diagram in natural language.** Nano Banana Pro generates it automatically:\n\n```bash\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"your diagram description\" -o output.png\n```\n\n**That's it!** The AI handles:\n- ✓ Layout and composition\n- ✓ Labels and annotations\n- ✓ Colors and styling\n- ✓ Quality review and refinement\n- ✓ Publication-ready output\n\n**Works for all diagram types:**\n- Flowcharts (CONSORT, PRISMA, etc.)\n- Neural network architectures\n- Biological pathways\n- Circuit diagrams\n- System architectures\n- Block diagrams\n- Any scientific visualization\n\n**No coding, no templates, no manual drawing required.**\n\n---\n\n# AI Generation Mode (Nano Banana Pro + Gemini 3 Pro Review)\n\n## Smart Iterative Refinement Workflow\n\nThe AI generation system uses **smart iteration** - it only regenerates if quality is below the threshold for your document type:\n\n### How Smart Iteration Works\n\n```\n┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐\n│  1.

Extracts specific issues from Gemini 3 Pro's review\n2. Enhances the prompt with improvement instructions\n3. Regenerates with Nano Banana Pro\n4. Reviews again with Gemini 3 Pro\n5. Repeats until threshold met or max iterations reached\n\n### Review Log\nAll iterations are saved with a JSON review log that includes early-stop information:\n```json\n{\n  \"user_prompt\": \"CONSORT participant flow diagram...\",\n  \"doc_type\": \"poster\",\n  \"quality_threshold\": 7.0,\n  \"iterations\": [\n    {\n      \"iteration\": 1,\n      \"image_path\": \"figures\u002Fconsort_v1.png\",\n      \"score\": 7.5,\n      \"needs_improvement\": false,\n      \"critique\": \"SCORE: 7.5\\nSTRENGTHS:...\"\n    }\n  ],\n  \"final_score\": 7.5,\n  \"early_stop\": true,\n  \"early_stop_reason\": \"Quality score 7.5 meets threshold 7.0 for poster\"\n}\n```\n\n**Note:** With smart iteration, you may see only 1 iteration instead of the full 2 if quality is achieved early!\n\n## Advanced AI Generation Usage\n\n### Python API\n\n```python\nfrom scripts.generate_schematic_ai import ScientificSchematicGenerator\n\n# Initialize generator\ngenerator = ScientificSchematicGenerator(\n    api_key=\"your_openrouter_key\",\n    verbose=True\n)\n\n# Generate with iterative refinement (max 2 iterations)\nresults = generator.generate_iterative(\n    user_prompt=\"Transformer architecture diagram\",\n    output_path=\"figures\u002Ftransformer.png\",\n    iterations=2\n)\n\n# Access results\nprint(f\"Final score: {results['final_score']}\u002F10\")\nprint(f\"Final image: {results['final_image']}\")\n\n# Review individual iterations\nfor iteration in results['iterations']:\n    print(f\"Iteration {iteration['iteration']}: {iteration['score']}\u002F10\")\n    print(f\"Critique: {iteration['critique']}\")\n```\n\n### Command-Line Options\n\n```bash\n# Basic usage (default threshold 7.5\u002F10)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"diagram description\" -o output.png\n\n# Specify document type for appropriate quality threshold\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"diagram\" -o out.png --doc-type journal      # 8.5\u002F10\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"diagram\" -o out.png --doc-type conference   # 8.0\u002F10\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"diagram\" -o out.png --doc-type poster       # 7.0\u002F10\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"diagram\" -o out.png --doc-type presentation # 6.5\u002F10\n\n# Custom max iterations (1-2)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"complex diagram\" -o diagram.png --iterations 2\n\n# Verbose output (see all API calls and reviews)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"flowchart\" -o flow.png -v\n\n# Provide API key via flag\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"diagram\" -o out.png --api-key \"sk-or-v1-...\"\n\n# Combine options\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"neural network\" -o nn.png --doc-type journal --iterations 2 -v\n```\n\n### Prompt Engineering Tips\n\n**1.

Nano Banana Pro handles everything automatically with **smart iteration**:\n\n```bash\n# Generate for journal paper (highest quality threshold: 8.5\u002F10)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"CONSORT participant flow diagram with 500 screened, 150 excluded, 350 randomized\" -o figures\u002Fconsort.png --doc-type journal\n\n# Generate for presentation (lower threshold: 6.5\u002F10 - faster)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"Transformer encoder-decoder architecture showing multi-head attention\" -o figures\u002Ftransformer.png --doc-type presentation\n\n# Generate for poster (moderate threshold: 7.0\u002F10)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"MAPK signaling pathway from EGFR to gene transcription\" -o figures\u002Fmapk_pathway.png --doc-type poster\n\n# Custom max iterations (max 2)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"Complex circuit diagram with op-amp, resistors, and capacitors\" -o figures\u002Fcircuit.png --iterations 2 --doc-type journal\n```\n\n**What happens behind the scenes:**\n1. **Generation 1**: Nano Banana Pro creates initial image following scientific diagram best practices\n2. **Review 1**: **Gemini 3 Pro** evaluates quality against document-type threshold\n3. **Decision**: If quality >= threshold → **DONE** (no more iterations needed!)\n4. **If below threshold**: Improved prompt based on critique, regenerate\n5. **Repeat**: Until quality meets threshold OR max iterations reached\n\n**Smart Iteration Benefits:**\n- ✅ Saves API calls if first generation is good enough\n- ✅ Higher quality standards for journal papers\n- ✅ Faster turnaround for presentations\u002Fposters\n- ✅ Appropriate quality for each use case\n\n**Output**: Versioned images plus a detailed review log with quality scores, critiques, and early-stop information.\n\n### Configuration\n\nSet your OpenRouter API key:\n```bash\nexport OPENROUTER_API_KEY='your_api_key_here'\n```\n\nGet an API key at: https:\u002F\u002Fopenrouter.ai\u002Fkeys\n\n### AI Generation Best Practices\n\n**Effective Prompts for Scientific Diagrams:**\n\n✓ **Good prompts** (specific, detailed):\n- \"CONSORT flowchart showing participant flow from screening (n=500) through randomization to final analysis\"\n- \"Transformer neural network architecture with encoder stack on left, decoder stack on right, showing multi-head attention and cross-attention connections\"\n- \"Biological signaling cascade: EGFR receptor → RAS → RAF → MEK → ERK → nucleus, with phosphorylation steps labeled\"\n- \"Block diagram of IoT system: sensors → microcontroller → WiFi module → cloud server → mobile app\"\n\n✗ **Avoid vague prompts**:\n- \"Make a flowchart\" (too generic)\n- \"Neural network\" (which type? what components?)\n- \"Pathway diagram\" (which pathway? what molecules?)\n\n**Key elements to include:**\n- **Type**: Flowchart, architecture diagram, pathway, circuit, etc.\n- **Components**: Specific elements to include\n- **Flow\u002FDirection**: How elements connect (left-to-right, top-to-bottom)\n- **Labels**: Key annotations or text to include\n- **Style**: Any specific visual requirements\n\n**Scientific Quality Guidelines** (automatically applied):\n- Clean white\u002Flight background\n- High contrast for readability\n- Clear, readable labels (minimum 10pt)\n- Professional typography (sans-serif fonts)\n- Colorblind-friendly colors (Okabe-Ito palette)\n- Proper spacing to prevent crowding\n- Scale bars, legends, axes where appropriate\n\n## When to Use This Skill\n\nThis skill should be used when:\n- Creating neural network architecture diagrams (Transformers, CNNs, RNNs, etc.)\n- Illustrating system architectures and data flow diagrams\n- Drawing methodology flowcharts for study design (CONSORT, PRISMA)\n- Visualizing algorithm workflows and processing pipelines\n- Creating circuit diagrams and electrical schematics\n- Depicting biological pathways and molecular interactions\n- Generating network topologies and hierarchical structures\n- Illustrating conceptual frameworks and theoretical models\n- Designing block diagrams for technical papers\n\n## How to Use This Skill\n\n**Simply describe your diagram in natural language.** Nano Banana Pro generates it automatically:\n\n```bash\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"your diagram description\" -o output.png\n```\n\n**That's it!** The AI handles:\n- ✓ Layout and composition\n- ✓ Labels and annotations\n- ✓ Colors and styling\n- ✓ Quality review and refinement\n- ✓ Publication-ready output\n\n**Works for all diagram types:**\n- Flowcharts (CONSORT, PRISMA, etc.)\n- Neural network architectures\n- Biological pathways\n- Circuit diagrams\n- System architectures\n- Block diagrams\n- Any scientific visualization\n\n**No coding, no templates, no manual drawing required.**\n\n---\n\n# AI Generation Mode (Nano Banana Pro + Gemini 3 Pro Review)\n\n## Smart Iterative Refinement Workflow\n\nThe AI generation system uses **smart iteration** - it only regenerates if quality is below the threshold for your document type:\n\n### How Smart Iteration Works\n\n```\n┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐\n│  1.

Extracts specific issues from Gemini 3 Pro's review\n2. Enhances the prompt with improvement instructions\n3. Regenerates with Nano Banana Pro\n4. Reviews again with Gemini 3 Pro\n5. Repeats until threshold met or max iterations reached\n\n### Review Log\nAll iterations are saved with a JSON review log that includes early-stop information:\n```json\n{\n  \"user_prompt\": \"CONSORT participant flow diagram...\",\n  \"doc_type\": \"poster\",\n  \"quality_threshold\": 7.0,\n  \"iterations\": [\n    {\n      \"iteration\": 1,\n      \"image_path\": \"figures\u002Fconsort_v1.png\",\n      \"score\": 7.5,\n      \"needs_improvement\": false,\n      \"critique\": \"SCORE: 7.5\\nSTRENGTHS:...\"\n    }\n  ],\n  \"final_score\": 7.5,\n  \"early_stop\": true,\n  \"early_stop_reason\": \"Quality score 7.5 meets threshold 7.0 for poster\"\n}\n```\n\n**Note:** With smart iteration, you may see only 1 iteration instead of the full 2 if quality is achieved early!\n\n## Advanced AI Generation Usage\n\n### Python API\n\n```python\nfrom scripts.generate_schematic_ai import ScientificSchematicGenerator\n\n# Initialize generator\ngenerator = ScientificSchematicGenerator(\n    api_key=\"your_openrouter_key\",\n    verbose=True\n)\n\n# Generate with iterative refinement (max 2 iterations)\nresults = generator.generate_iterative(\n    user_prompt=\"Transformer architecture diagram\",\n    output_path=\"figures\u002Ftransformer.png\",\n    iterations=2\n)\n\n# Access results\nprint(f\"Final score: {results['final_score']}\u002F10\")\nprint(f\"Final image: {results['final_image']}\")\n\n# Review individual iterations\nfor iteration in results['iterations']:\n    print(f\"Iteration {iteration['iteration']}: {iteration['score']}\u002F10\")\n    print(f\"Critique: {iteration['critique']}\")\n```\n\n### Command-Line Options\n\n```bash\n# Basic usage (default threshold 7.5\u002F10)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"diagram description\" -o output.png\n\n# Specify document type for appropriate quality threshold\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"diagram\" -o out.png --doc-type journal      # 8.5\u002F10\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"diagram\" -o out.png --doc-type conference   # 8.0\u002F10\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"diagram\" -o out.png --doc-type poster       # 7.0\u002F10\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"diagram\" -o out.png --doc-type presentation # 6.5\u002F10\n\n# Custom max iterations (1-2)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"complex diagram\" -o diagram.png --iterations 2\n\n# Verbose output (see all API calls and reviews)\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"flowchart\" -o flow.png -v\n\n# Provide API key via flag\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"diagram\" -o out.png --api-key \"sk-or-v1-...\"\n\n# Combine options\npython scripts\u002Fgenerate_schematic.py \"neural network\" -o nn.png --doc-type journal --iterations 2 -v\n```\n\n### Prompt Engineering Tips\n\n**1.
