visualization

visualization is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from AndyZhuang/Opentest. It costs 0 tokens per session (508 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for making publication-quality charts and figures from scientific data. It works across tools such as R, Python, and Julia and covers chart choices, colors, sizing, and output formats.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create distributions, comparisons, heatmaps, and other research figures for journal papers, slides, or posters.
Why use it?
It helps produce figures that are readable, consistent, and suitable for papers or presentations. It also reduces repeated decisions about styling and export settings.

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 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 8d 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.

Theme Rules

  • Clean, minimal. No unnecessary gridlines.
  • theme_classic() or theme_bw() as starting points (R) / white background in matplotlib
  • Consistent margins across all figures in a project
  • Arial or Helvetica font family

Code Rules

  • Adjustable parameters at the TOP of every script
  • Return the plot object (don't hardcode file saving)
  • Output formats: PNG (300+ dpi), PDF (vector), SVG

Chart Type Guide

  • Distribution: boxplot, violin, density, histogram, jitter
  • Comparison: barplot, grouped bar, dotplot, radar
  • Correlation: scatter, correlation matrix, bubble
  • Composition: pie, ring, Venn, UpSet, stacked bar
  • Genomics: volcano, Manhattan, Q-Q, GSEA, UMAP/tSNE, heatmap
  • Survival: Kaplan-Meier, Cox forest plot
  • Network: Sankey, chord, network graph
  • Spatial: spatial transcriptomics, geographic

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.

visualization is a skill published in the GitHub repository AndyZhuang/Opentest (22 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 508 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 2026-09-03.
