This skill provides ready-to-use templates and detailed specifications for successful academic submissions across disciplines.

Use this skill when preparing manuscripts for journal submission, conference papers, research posters, or grant proposals and need venue-specific formatting requirements and templates.

## When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:
- Preparing a manuscript for submission to a specific journal (Nature, Science, PLOS, IEEE, etc.)
- Writing a conference paper with specific formatting requirements (NeurIPS, ICML, CHI, etc.)
- Creating an academic research poster for conferences
- Drafting grant proposals for federal agencies (NSF, NIH, DOE, DARPA) or private foundations
- Checking formatting requirements and page limits for target venues
- Customizing templates with author information and project details

## Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics

**When creating documents with this skill, always consider adding scientific diagrams and schematics to enhance visual communication.**

If your document does not already contain schematics or diagrams:
- Use the **scientific-schematics** skill to generate AI-powered publication-quality diagrams
- Simply describe your desired diagram in natural language
- Nano Banana Pro will automatically generate, review, and refine the schematic

**For new documents:** Scientific schematics should be generated by default to visually represent key concepts, workflows, architectures, or relationships described in the text.

**How to generate schematics:**
```bash
python scripts/generate_schematic.py "your diagram description" -o figures/output.png
```

The AI will automatically:
- Create publication-quality images with pr
