 "title": "Hand-edit a generated diagram before the final restyle",
 "page_title": "How to hand-edit a generated diagram before the final restyle with Auto Illustrate",
 "summary": "Open the draft diagram in diagrams.net in your browser, fix it, then continue the run to produce the enhanced PNG.",
 "who": "A paper author who received a generated draft that is mostly right but needs manual layout or label fixes before the final image.",
 "problem": "Automated layouts can misplace a box or label, and the final restyle step should only run once the structure is correct.",
 "outcome": "An edited full_figure.drawio and an enhanced PNG that reflects the manual changes.",
 "steps": [
  "Install the draw.io desktop CLI and Claude Code CLI as in the install section, and set OPENAI_API_KEY. (inferred, check the README)",
  "`autoillustrate examples/ai_scientist_method.tex --prompt \"Please make a diagram illustrating the method of our scientific research paper in a single panel. We intend to use it as front-page diagram in our research paper.\" --interactive` (replace the path and prompt with your own) (inferred, check the README)",
  "When the run opens full_figure.drawio in the diagrams.net editor in your browser, make your changes there.",
  "Press Enter in the terminal to re-export the PNG and continue to the enhance phase.",
  "On a remote machine, add `--editor-port <port>` and use `ssh -L <port>:127.0.0.1:<port>` to reach the editor. (inferred, check the README)"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the repo SakanaAI/AutoIllustrate, start an interactive run on <path to .tex file> with -i and wait for the editor step. After the user confirms edits, press Enter and verify that figures/full_figure_enhanced.png is written in the run folder.",
 "agents": [
  "claude-code"

 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "1 hour",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "The editor runs on 127.0.0.1, so remote use needs the SSH port forward described in the README.",

 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node 22 or newer",
  "draw.io desktop CLI on PATH as drawio",
  "Claude Code CLI (claude) on PATH, since it is the default agent",
  "OPENAI_API_KEY set in the shell or a .env file",
  "Python 3.10 or newer (the CLI creates its own cached venv on first run)"
