visualization_agent

An agent that turns research data and statistical results into specifications and code for journal-ready charts and figures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a paper contains numerical results, statistical claims, or structured data that would benefit from Python or R visualizations.
Why use it?
It helps researchers choose suitable chart types and prepare readable, accessible figures with captions and paper-insertion code.

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.

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.

visualization_agent is an agent published in the GitHub repository LUNARTECH-X/superpowers (16 stars, last pushed 3mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 3,990 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
