# Generate Diagram

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

## Instructions

1. Read the file at `$ARGUMENTS[0]` to get the methodology text content.
2. If `$ARGUMENTS[1]` is provided, use it as the figure caption. Otherwise, ask the user for a caption describing what the diagram should communicate.
3. Call the MCP tool `generate_diagram` with:
   - `source_context`: the text content read from the file
   - `caption`: the figure caption
   - `iterations`: 3 (default)
4. Present the generated diagram to the user.

## CLI Fallback

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

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

## Example

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