academic-figure-workflow

academic-figure-workflow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Azhi-ss/academic-figure-skills. It costs 48 tokens per session (2,670 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for planning, creating, inspecting, and refining figures for academic work. It can use source repositories, papers, draft notes, PDF files, web pages, or reference images.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a draft framework from notes, plan figures from a manuscript, render a figure locally, inspect the result, and refine it.
Why use it?
It turns incomplete research material or explicit diagram instructions into a grounded figure while preserving the chosen style, references, and review process.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 academic-figure-designer/scripts/validate_figure_spec.py \.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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-workflow 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 208 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Academic Figure Workflow

Produce a grounded academic figure and a stable local artifact. Preserve the user's chosen backend, reference assets, style direction, review preference, and output scope.

Load only what the current stage needs:

  • missing evidence → references/missing-info-policy.md
  • palette/style fallback → references/palettes.md and, when installed, references/styles/
  • Codex native image execution → references/codex-image-workflow.md
  • render inspection → references/render-audit.md when present

Route inputs by inspected content

A URL is not automatically a repository. Inspect it first.

Input Route Execution Behavior
Direct User Architecture (Passthrough) ../academic-figure-designer/SKILL.md Skip analyzers. User gave explicit nodes/flow; compile FigureSpec v1 and render directly.
Draft Notes / Outline / Partial Draft ../academic-figure-draft-analyzer/SKILL.md Draft-to-Figure Fast-Track. For rough notes, outlines, or sections without full results: focus on Figure 1 framework.
Complete Manuscript (Markdown / LaTeX / PDF / URL) ../academic-figure-draft-analyzer/SKILL.md Full Planning. For complete papers with experiments/results: multi-figure strategy, claim verification, and constraints.
Repository path or repository URL ../academic-repo-analyzer/SKILL.md Extract semantic architecture graph; omit engineering plumbing (data loaders, trainers).
Paper plus repository Hybrid Paper/user defines narrative & topology; repository supplies parameter & dimension verification.
Reference figure or existing render ../academic-figure-architecture-extractor/SKILL.md Extract transferable Style Grammar; drop reference's method labels and content.

For an article URL, use an available web/browser/document reader to obtain the paper text, captions, and linked figures. For a PDF, use a PDF-capable reader for paper content and the architecture extractor only for figure images. If a sibling skill is missing, perform the minimum equivalent analysis and mark the degraded path.

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.
