Designing scientific schematics, diagrams, and graphical abstracts. Covers tool selection (BioRender, Inkscape, Affinity, PowerPoint), design principles for pathway diagrams, mechanism schematics, experimental workflows, and journal graphical abstracts. Includes composition, icon sourcing, color for biological entities, and accessibility. Use when creating illustrative (not data-driven) scientific figures.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Scientific Schematics ## Overview Scientific schematics are illustrative figures that communicate biological mechanisms, experimental designs, or conceptual frameworks — as distinct from data-driven figures (graphs, heatmaps). A well-designed schematic makes a manuscript's key concept immediately comprehensible to a broad scientific audience, while a poorly designed one confuses reviewers and reduces the paper's impact. This guide covers the design decisions, tool selection, composition principles, and accessibility standards specific to biological schematics in peer-reviewed publications. ## Key Concepts ### 1. Schematic Types and Their Purpose Not all schematics serve the same function. Choosing the wrong type leads to overloaded or underspecified figures. | Type | Purpose | Key Elements | Examples | |------|---------|-------------|---------| | **Mechanism diagram** | Show step-by-step molecular events | Proteins, DNA, membranes, arrows indicating causality | CRISPR cleavage, signaling cascade, transcription factor binding | …

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/scientific-schematics@sha256:6c0481e9db2c710cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260428.81ea2d2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
