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

Cocaine vs amphetamineBoth raise dopamine in the synapse. They do it in very different ways. Mechanism only.

When dopamine signaling changesD1 raises cAMP, D2 lowers it. Block one and watch the signal flip.

Can you read a plant's hidden settings?A sunflower seedling bends toward light. Model by BendLab, not peer reviewed.

D1 raises cAMP, D2 lowers it. Full G-protein cycle, dopamine slider, generic D2 antagonist.

Reuptake, cocaine blockade, amphetamine transport and reverse efflux.

The mesolimbic pathway and one leading model of what changes with repeated exposure.

Glucose-dependent insulin release, the engineered molecule, and what is still preclinical.

Aromatase, estradiol and receptor α in a neuron. The human evidence is weak, and the figure says so.

Saltatory conduction and a hoverable synapse.

The two-state model from BendLab, running live. See when the rate limit matters.

Star the repo so more people find it, and send a figure to someone who'd enjoy it.

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.

Install the skill, then ask Claude for any biology figure.
