About this skill
Problem
Paper illustrations such as architecture diagrams, process flows, and data-flow diagrams are hard to iterate on when they are produced as finished images: adding a node, renaming a component, or changing a color can require redrawing. This skill treats conceptual academic figures as maintainable Graphviz DOT source instead of one-off pictures.
How it works
- Template-driven: includes five
DOTtemplates for layered architecture, business process, manufacturing traceability, technology roadmap, and data-flow diagrams, with{{PLACEHOLDER}}markers for replaceable content. - Review-safe styling: provides three color schemes that are color-blind friendly and compatible with grayscale printing.
- Render and integrate: generates
DOT, renders it with Graphviz, and inserts the resulting image into Word viapython-docx, with 11 cm centered width, centered captions in 10.5pt SimSun, automatic caption renumbering, and reverse insertion to reduce image-index drift.
Boundaries
It is intended for conceptual figures, not for fabricating experimental results or inventing nonexistent systems or methods. Real-data statistical charts, error bars, and significance plots should be routed to academic-chart-gen. Only Graphviz DOT is supported; DrawIO and Mermaid are not.
Use Cases
- When writing a systems-architecture paper, convert a layered architecture description into an editable Graphviz DOT schematic.
- When documenting approval workflows or operating steps, generate a process flow with decision nodes and branch paths.
- When preparing quality-traceability materials, map work steps, scan identifiers, and data records into a traceability diagram.
- When formatting a paper in Word, insert multiple schematic figures and normalize figure captions and numbering.
Best For
- Graduate students writing systems or network-architecture papers who need editable schematics from textual architecture descriptions.
- Technical writers documenting engineering workflows or approval policies who need process diagrams with decision nodes and branches.
- R&D engineers preparing quality-traceability or production-line flow notes who need work steps and data records visualized.
- Researchers preparing paper Word layouts who need schematic figures inserted with consistent captions and numbering.
