Anima

Create crafted, accurate visualizations of anatomy, neurobiology, pharmacology, drugs, cells, and molecular biology. Show real biological structures and make their mechanisms visible, using literal anatomy or a clearly identified mechanical metaphor. Build interactive isometric SVG figures with sourced numbers, accessible motion, optional WebGL, a framed card and live readout. Use for biological explainers, educational illustrations, documentation and interactive figures.

# Anima

This skill makes visual explanations of biological structure and function. Show the real structure accurately and make its mechanism visible. Use literal anatomy for structures such as neurons, hearts, cells and organs; use a clearly identified mechanical metaphor for processes when it improves understanding (for example, a receptor and ligand as lock and key, or an ion channel as a gated valve). Never let a metaphor imply that it is the literal biology.

Six biology examples ship with the skill. Open the closest one before you start. Every example is built with `node examples/<name>/build.mjs`, which writes a standalone HTML page next to the script; add `--light` for the light theme.

- `examples/neuron/` is a neuron with branching dendrites, myelinated axon, animated action-potential readout and hoverable synapse. It is a schematic, and its representative voltage values cite educational sources.
- `examples/dopamine-receptors/` is a flat cross-section of a dopamine synapse onto a striatal medium spiny neuron: D1-like receptors couple Gαs/olf and raise cAMP, D2-like receptors couple Gαi/o and lower it, with the full G-protein cycle, a dopamine-level slider and a generic D2-antagonist toggle.
