Author publication-quality diagram specifications (method.txt files) from paper prose and draw.io sketches, following federal data visualization standards and Tufte design principles. Use when creating, modifying, or regenerating conceptual diagrams, architecture figures, or visual explanations for academic papers or presentations. Triggers: 'diagram', 'architecture figure', 'method.txt', 'PaperBanana', 'draw.io', or requests for visual figures that are NOT statistical plots (those use plotnine/census_plot_style.py). The method.txt output can be rendered by any image generation tool (PaperBanana, Gemini web UI, ChatGPT, etc.). This skill covers: paper prose interpretation → draw.io sketch interpretation → method.txt spec authoring → deployment → figure_table_map.yaml registration.
