figures

figures is a plugin for Claude Code from neuromechanist/research-skills. Its manifest loads nothing; the 8 skills, 1 agent it bundles cost 1,269 tokens per session together, scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A plugin for creating scientific figures and diagrams, including SVG artwork, icons, labels, arrows, and scale bars. It also includes checks and export steps for figures intended for research publications.

Security

Grade A, and why

figures 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 25d 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.

  "version": "0.13.0",
  "description": "Publication-quality figures plugin. Eight skills + one QA agent. figure-bible: scaffolds and validates the per-project theme.json (palette, typography, text limits, Codex model settings) that every other skill reads. ai-full-figure: gpt-image-2 through the Codex CLI (or the OpenAI Images API) renders single panels or whole multi-panel figures with large verbatim titles and panel letters, panels generated in parallel with reference-image consistency, composed at journal width; a text ladder routes dense labels to the SVG overlay and numerals to plot or vector skills. transparent-icons: flat scientific icons with native alpha through the same shared backend, with an explicit Atlas Cloud path. scientific-figure: svgutils composer with pre-export font-size validation and Inkscape/cairosvg export. svg-primitives: mm-precise SVG builder with auto-fit text, edge-snapped arrows, and layer ordering; svg-figure: hand-authoring conventions and editor handoff. plot-styling: library decision tree with SciencePlots recipes. figure-qa agent: type-dispatching QA with OCR of expected strings, palette compliance against the theme, geometry and font checks, a VLM rubric, and a JSON verdict that drives the generate, QA, fix loop.",

What it installs

The manifest is a name and a version. 8 skills, 1 agent travel with it, and installing the plugin installs all of them — 1,269 tokens a session between them. Each is measured on its own page, and each can be installed alone.

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.
