plot

A command that creates standard charts from an exported SWARM experiment folder. It reads a history JSON file or CSV files and saves the charts in a plots folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plot toxicity, quality gap, welfare, and acceptance rate over time, or to chart parameter sweeps with grouped bars, box plots, heatmaps, data points, and standard-deviation bars.
Why use it?
It turns experiment data into comparable visual summaries without requiring the user to build charts manually. If analysis packages are missing, it records instructions and explains what would have been plotted.

Made for: Claude Code.

Per session 0 Only the description is in the session, so the agent can decide to use it. The body loads when it is invoked.

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

plot 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.

What it actually says

/plot

Generate standard plots from a previously-exported run folder.

Usage

/plot <run_dir> [metric]

Examples:

  • /plot runs/20260208-120102_baseline_seed42
  • /plot runs/20260208-120102_baseline_seed42 toxicity_rate

Inputs (expected)

  • <run_dir>/history.json (from python -m swarm run ... --export-json ...) or
  • <run_dir>/csv/ (from --export-csv)

Outputs

Write plots under:

  • <run_dir>/plots/

At minimum generate:

  • Time series: toxicity, quality_gap, welfare
  • Acceptance rate over time (if available)

If optional deps are missing (e.g. swarm-safety[analysis]), fall back to:

  • Writing <run_dir>/plots/README.txt with install instructions and what would be plotted.

Sweep data detection

If the input path points to a sweep CSV (contains columns like governance.* or multiple run_index values), generate sweep-specific plots instead of time-series plots:

  • Grouped bar charts: welfare and toxicity by each swept parameter, with individual data points overlaid and ±1 SD error bars
  • Box plots: welfare distribution per configuration
  • Heatmap: mean welfare/toxicity/quality_gap across the parameter grid (if 2 swept parameters)
  • Agent payoff comparison: honest/opportunistic/adversarial payoffs by config
  • Effect size plot: governance lever boost with 95% CI and significance annotations

Detect sweep data by checking for:

  • Multiple unique values in columns matching governance.*
  • A run_index column with values > 0
  • No epoch column (sweep CSVs aggregate across epochs)

Concrete implementation

For single-run time-series data:

  • python examples/plot_run.py <run_dir> [--metric <metric>]

For sweep data:

  • python examples/plot_sweep.py <csv_path> [--output-dir <dir>]

The sweep script auto-detects governance.* columns with multiple unique values and generates the 6 standard plot types listed above.

Changes

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.

plot is a command published in the GitHub repository swarm-ai-research/swarm (40 stars, last pushed 6d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 472 tokens. 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.
