Partial A web front end that takes a methods section and calls LLM agents is straightforward. Producing layouts that are correct, legible, and publication-quality in draw.io XML is hard, and it takes iteration and evaluation that vibe coding alone won't give you.
What it would actually take: Build a pipeline: an LLM extracts entities and relations from the methods text into a structured graph, a layout engine places nodes, and the output is serialized as draw.io XML. Multi-agent critique loops can check and refine the diagram. The hard part is evaluation: you need a benchmark of paper figures and expert judgment to tune layout and fidelity, which requires domain researchers and real data.
