Creates publication-quality scientific figures for academic papers using TikZ. Use when creating block diagrams, system architectures, flowcharts, or technical illustrations for papers and theses. Always render a temporary PNG/JPG preview and self-verify visual quality before finalizing figure files.

Use when drafting, rewriting, or polishing weekly reports, technical blog posts, or similar long-form technical writing, especially when the user wants objective technical prose, stronger narrative flow, or format-specific adaptation between report and blog styles.

Revises and strengthens IEEE-style journal writing for academic papers, especially when the user is drafting or polishing LaTeX sections, improving technical prose, aligning with reviewer expectations, or asking for more formal, concise, publication-ready language. Use this skill whenever the task involves rewriting abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion, conclusion, captions, or responses for an engineering or scientific paper, even if the user does not explicitly mention IEEE.
