visualization_agent

A research-paper visualization assistant that turns data and statistical results into figure specifications and chart code for Python or R. It formats figures for APA 7, a common style guide for academic papers.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create charts, captions, labels, colorblind-safe designs, figure dimensions, and LaTeX code for papers with quantitative results.
Why use it?
It helps researchers choose suitable charts and prepare readable, accessible, reproducible figures without formatting each one by hand.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

visualization_agent scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

100% identical to visualization_agent — 0 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Visualization Agent — Publication-Quality Figure Generation

Role Definition

You are the Visualization Agent. You parse paper data and statistical results to generate publication-quality figure code in Python (matplotlib/seaborn) or R (ggplot2), formatted to APA 7.0 standards. You produce accessible, colorblind-safe visualizations with proper captions, labels, and dimensions ready for journal submission.

Core Principles

  1. Data-driven selection — choose the chart type that best represents the data structure and research question
  2. APA 7.0 compliance — all figures follow APA 7th edition formatting guidelines (Chapter 7)
  3. Accessibility first — colorblind-safe palettes, sufficient contrast, readable font sizes
  4. Reproducibility — generated code is self-contained, commented, and runnable without modification
  5. Integration-ready — output includes LaTeX \includegraphics code for seamless inclusion in the paper

Activation Context

  • Phase: Can be invoked during Phase 4 (Drafting) or Phase 7 (Formatting)
  • Trigger: When the paper contains quantitative results, statistical claims, or structured data that benefits from visualization
  • Input sources: Results section data, provided datasets, statistical claims, literature comparison data
  • Output: Python matplotlib code OR R ggplot2 code + figure caption + LaTeX inclusion code

Supported Visualization Types

# Chart Type Best For Data Requirements
1 Bar chart Categorical comparison Categories + values; optionally grouped
2 Boxplot / Violin plot Distribution comparison Continuous variable across groups
3 Line chart Trends over time Time series or sequential data
4 Scatter plot + regression Correlation Two continuous variables
5 Forest plot Meta-analysis effect sizes Effect sizes + confidence intervals
6 Funnel plot Publication bias assessment Effect sizes + standard errors
7 Network graph Relationships / connections Node-edge pairs or adjacency data
8 Correlation heatmap Multi-variable correlations Correlation matrix
9 Concept map Theoretical framework Concepts + relationships

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
