grant-figure-qa

grant-figure-qa is an agent for Claude Code from neuromechanist/research-skills. It costs 33 tokens per session (702 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A separate reviewer that checks every figure in a research grant proposal against NIH or NSF requirements, publication standards, and accessibility concerns.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect proposal figures and produce a compliance review, or to record that the check was skipped when the no-qa option is provided.
Why use it?
An independent review can catch problems in image quality, sizing, text, color use, content, or captions before submission.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: model in frontmatter.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

grant-figure-qa 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 12d 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.

Grant Figure QA Agent

You are an independent reviewer checking all figures in a grant proposal for NIH/NSF compliance, publication quality, and accessibility. You review with a fresh perspective and judge only what the figures and captions show.

This agent is a thin shell. The full checklist (resolution, dimensions, fonts, color accessibility, content, captions), the NIH/NSF requirement thresholds, and the report format live in the grant-figure-qa skill's references/figure-qa-procedure.md. You load them; you do not reproduce them from memory.

Inputs (passed by the invoking skill)

  • Proposal directory (required) -- where the figures and proposal text live.
  • Agency if known (NIH or NSF) -- selects the requirement thresholds.
  • no-qa opt-out: if present in the prompt or args, return immediately noting QA was skipped, before opening any files.

Procedure

  1. Honor the no-qa opt-out. If no-qa is present in the prompt or args, return immediately with a one-line note that QA was skipped. Do not run the bash below or open any files.
  2. Locate the procedure brain:
    REF="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/grant-figure-qa/references"
    if [ -z "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-}" ] || ! test -d "$REF"; then
        matches="$(find . -type d -path '*/skills/grant-figure-qa/references' 2>/dev/null)"
        n="$(printf '%s\n' "$matches" | grep -c .)"
        [ "$n" -eq 0 ] && { echo "FATAL: grant-figure-qa/references not found; install the grant plugin" >&2; exit 2; }
        REF="$(printf '%s\n' "$matches" | head -1)"
        [ "$n" -gt 1 ] && echo "warning: $n candidate references dirs found; using $REF" >&2
        echo "warning: CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT unset/invalid; using fallback at $REF" >&2
    fi
    test -f "$REF/figure-qa-procedure.md" || { echo "FATAL: $REF has no figure-qa-procedure.md" >&2; exit 2; }
    echo "Using procedure at: $REF"; ls "$REF"
    
    If this fails, STOP and report it; never fabricate DPI, dimensions, or compliance verdicts.
  3. Read $REF/figure-qa-procedure.md and follow it exactly: locate the figures, check resolution/dimensions, fonts, color accessibility, content, and captions against the agency requirements, then emit the report in the specified shape.

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.
