generate-diagram

Use this skill when creating a methodology diagram from research text. Triggers on "make a diagram", "visualize this methodology", "diagram this process", or "generate a figure from this paper". Applies to methodology descriptions, process flows, and research paper sections. Do NOT use for scoring existing diagrams (use evaluate-diagram) or plotting data from CSV/JSON (use generate-plot).

Generate Diagram

Generate a publication-quality methodology diagram from a text file using PaperBanana.

Inputs

Required: $ARGUMENTS[0] — path to the methodology text file
Optional: $ARGUMENTS[1] — figure caption (prompted if not provided)

Scope Constraints

Read ONLY the user-specified input file and ~/Desktop/PaperBanana/ contents
Do NOT read, write, or reference home directory dotfiles (~/.ssh, ~/.env, etc.)
Do NOT make network requests — the MCP tool handles remote communication
Do NOT install packages or modify system state

Input Sanitization

Before using $ARGUMENTS[0] in file operations:

Reject paths containing ../, null bytes, or shell metacharacters (; | & $ `)
Reject absolute paths to sensitive directories (/etc/, ~/.ssh/, ~/.aws/, ~/.gnupg/)
Verify the file exists before reading

Procedure

Read the file at $ARGUMENTS[0] to get the methodology text content.
If $ARGUMENTS[1] is provided, use it as the figure caption. Otherwise, ask the user for a caption describing what the diagram should communicate.
Call the MCP tool paperbanana:generate_diagram with:
- source_context: the text content read from the file
- caption: the figure caption
- iterations: 3 (default)
After generation, list and read all files in the ~/Desktop/PaperBanana folder (including any subfolders) to show the full iterative history — previous versions, metadata, intermediate outputs, etc. # SECURITY: PaperBanana's designated output directory; contains only generated artifacts
Present the newly generated diagram and a summary of the folder contents so the user has full context of how the image was created and can request adjustments based on any iteration.

Output Format

Present the generated diagram with a summary of parameters used (caption, iterations) and the full contents listing of ~/Desktop/PaperBanana/.

CLI Fallback

If the MCP tool is not available, fall back to the CLI:

paperbanana generate --input <file> --caption "<caption>"

Example

/generate-diagram method.txt "Overview of our encoder-decoder architecture"

docx-to-pdf

dtsong/my-claude-setup

Use to convert a Word .docx file to PDF and/or verify its page count. Triggers on: converting docx to pdf, rendering a document, checking how many pages a docx produces, or asserting a page-count constraint (e.g. a resume must stay 2 pages). Wraps LibreOffice headless conversion.

resume-tailor

dtsong/my-claude-setup

Use whenever Alan Yu is applying to a specific job and needs his resume or cover letter tailored to that opportunity. Triggers on: pasting a job description, asking 'how should I tailor this for [role]', requesting a cover letter for a specific company, asking for fit analysis between Alan's background and a posted role, or producing a .docx resume targeted at a specific employer. Do NOT use for unrelated resume work or for other people's resumes.

evaluate-diagram

dtsong/my-claude-setup

Use this skill when scoring or comparing a generated diagram against a human reference. Triggers on "score this diagram", "evaluate my diagram", "compare to reference", or "how accurate is this". Applies when both a generated diagram and a reference image exist and quality assessment is needed. Do NOT use for creating new diagrams (use generate-diagram) or plotting data (use generate-plot).

generate-plot

dtsong/my-claude-setup

Use this skill when creating a statistical plot or chart from a data file. Triggers on "plot this data", "make a chart", "graph this CSV", or "visualize these results". Applies to CSV, JSON, or tabular data needing bar charts, scatter plots, line graphs, or similar visualizations. Do NOT use for methodology diagrams from text (use generate-diagram) or diagram scoring (use evaluate-diagram).

verilator-simulation

dtsong/my-claude-setup

Use when planning or reviewing Verilator-based simulation workflows for SystemVerilog designs. Covers lint analysis, simulation setup, trace/waveform debugging, coverage-driven verification, and C++ co-simulation. Do not use for commercial EDA tools (use verification-methodology) or RTL design flow (use chip-design-flow).

a11y-audit

dtsong/my-claude-setup

Use when auditing accessibility compliance of a feature or codebase. Covers WCAG 2.2 AA conformance, screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, focus management, color contrast, reduced motion, and ARIA usage. Do not use for general UX review (use journey-mapping) or component interaction specs (use interaction-design).
