Turn biology questions into interactive cited diagrams
A developer built Anima, an add-on that has Claude Code turn biology questions into interactive, sourced diagrams; they've published live examples on dopamine, stimulants, semaglutide and nerve cells.
Done with Claude Code
What they did
The developer Garinmckayl built Anima, a reusable instruction set for Claude Code. It turns a biology question into a standalone interactive diagram, such as how cocaine and amphetamine act on dopamine. Claude gathers sources and pulls real molecule drawings from PubChem, a public chemistry database. It adds switches that change the diagram, then checks the page zoomed in, in light and dark modes, and on phone screens.
How it went
The author has published live diagrams made this way. Topics include dopamine receptors, stimulants, reward and addiction, semaglutide, estrogen and aggression, and a nerve cell with its insulating coating. Each diagram lists its sources.
Worth knowing
Numbers that can't be checked are left out. Drug diagrams explain how the drug works only, with no doses or ways of taking it, and are for learning, not medical advice.
Try it yourself with Claude Code
/anima show [biological subject and mechanism] for [audience], with a [toggle or slider, e.g. inhibitor on/off] that changes the mechanism. Collect sources before drawing. Cite every number with its species, conditions and units, and leave out anything you cannot verify. Separate what is established from what is one leading model. Output a standalone HTML page in dark and light themes with an educational-use note. Then check it zoomed in, in both themes and at phone width.
Swap the highlighted [parts] for your own details.
