academic-figure-designer

academic-figure-designer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Azhi-ss/academic-figure-skills. It costs 71 tokens per session (2,496 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A design and specification guide for creating academic figures, such as diagrams and charts used in research papers. It helps choose visual styles, colours, symbols, and a structured description of the figure.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan and describe research diagrams, select a visual style and palette, represent concepts with visual metaphors, and compile a structured figure brief for rendering.
Why use it?
It gives figure creation a consistent process grounded in the evidence and claims in a paper, including colour choices that remain distinguishable for people with colour-vision differences.

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

academic-figure-designer 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/clean_image_metadata.py, scripts/validate_figure_spec.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Academic Figure Designer and Spec Engine

Design evidence-grounded academic figures, make semantic color & surface decisions, and compile clean academic-figure/FigureSpec@1 specifications and normalized structured rendering briefs. This skill serves as the single authoritative designer and prompt compiler for all figure styles.

Load only as needed:

  • spec contract → json-schema.md and figure-spec.schema.json
  • prompt compilation → references/json-to-prompt.md
  • visual brief guidance → references/image-prompt-guide.md
  • composition scaffolds → references/prompt-templates.md
  • visual anchors & SVMC → references/architecture-icons.md
  • palette/style fallback → references/palettes.md and optional references/styles/
  • missing evidence → references/missing-info-policy.md

Supported Style Profiles

Select one canonical style_profile (or compose with layer overlays from docs/styles/):

  1. classic-technical (经典学术框线风):
    • Clean white background, thin 1.5pt crisp outlines, restrained subtle tints (Okabe-Ito, Nature Blue, Cool Gray).
    • High contrast, orthogonal alignment, strict box/arrow engineering topology.
    • High-density tabular parameters and formal sans-serif typography (Helvetica/Inter).
  2. pastel-airy-ui (现代柔彩空气风):
    • White canvas with floating white cards and faint borders.
    • Generous negative space, floating pills/tokens (P1 Warm, P2 Cool, P3 Earthy), and lightweight curves.
    • Interface-like feel without multi-level nested boxes.
  3. illustrated-modular (编辑手绘模块风 / 有色语义分区图示风):
    • White canvas with content-driven soft-tinted semantic zones (I1 paired tokens: {soft_fill, dark_outline, title_text, icon_accent}).
    • Strong same-hue 1.5–2.5px dark outlines and no drop shadows.
    • Asymmetric hero region (~35–55% visual focus) with supporting modules arranged by real semantics.
    • Content-grounded editorial line art tied to declared semantics.
  4. reference-led (参考图驱动自由风格):
    • Extracts observable visual grammar (composition, marks, stroke, typography, illustration level, paired color fills/outlines) directly from a user-supplied reference image without copying proprietary content or topology.

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.
