I write papers in LaTeX and dread making the conceptual figures — architectures, pipelines, system diagrams. Hand-writing TikZ is slow; AI generated diagrams are hard to edit and had to get vector quality.

OpenTikZ is the "Flaticon for academic TikZ" — conceptual/overview figures (system block diagrams, neural-network architectures, pipelines, flowcharts) for your papers. Four ways to use it:

• Use icons — grab a single icon, no AI needed: copy its .tex (or download SVG/PNG) and \input it.
• Edit a template — tell the agent the change; it edits the template and verifies it compiles.
• PNG → TikZ — hand the agent a figure image; get editable TikZ back.
• Describe → TikZ — describe a figure in words; the agent drafts it from the library.

Content is CC0 (use it in any paper, no attribution); tooling is MIT.

It's early (30+ figures so far), so I'd really value feedback～
