Ask Claude for a biology figure. Get an interactive, sourced, isometric one.
A Claude Code skill. Real structures, a mechanism you can toggle, and a citation for every number on screen.
Free and open source (MIT). If it's useful, a star helps other people find it.
Two questions, answered in 15 seconds
Live figures
Dopamine receptors
D1 raises cAMP, D2 lowers it. Full G-protein cycle, dopamine slider, generic D2 antagonist.
Stimulants at the transporter
Reuptake, cocaine blockade, amphetamine transport and reverse efflux.
Reward and addiction
The mesolimbic pathway and one leading model of what changes with repeated exposure.
Semaglutide and GLP-1
Glucose-dependent insulin release, the engineered molecule, and what is still preclinical.
Estrogen and aggression
Aromatase, estradiol and receptor α in a neuron. The human evidence is weak, and the figure says so.
A myelinated neuron
Saltatory conduction and a hoverable synapse.
Seedling bending toward light
The two-state model from BendLab , running live. See when the rate limit matters.
Like what you see?
Star the repo so more people find it, and send a figure to someone who'd enjoy it.
The rules it works to
Real structure first. A metaphor is allowed only when labelled as one.
Every number is cited, with species, conditions and units. Unverified numbers are left out.
Honest about certainty. Established biology, one leading model, rodent work and human work are kept apart.
Mechanism only for drugs. No doses, routes, schedules or recommendations. Educational, not medical advice.
