figure-quality-standards

figure-quality-standards is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from EvoClaw/amplify. It costs 36 tokens per session (5,171 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of rules for making figures and tables in research papers. It covers readability, accessibility, consistent styling, file formats, resolution, typography, and sizing for publication.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps choose vector or high-resolution formats, set readable text sizes, and adapt visuals to the target publication’s page width and style.
Why use it?
It prevents charts and tables from becoming hard to read or unsuitable for printing and submission to a journal or conference.

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

figure-quality-standards 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.

Figure & Table Quality Standards

Overview

Figures are the first thing reviewers look at. A sloppy figure signals sloppy science. This skill defines mandatory quality standards for every figure and table produced during Phase 4 (experiment execution) and Phase 5 (results integration), and enforced again during Phase 6 (paper writing).

Invoke this skill before generating any figure intended for a paper.

Universal Figure Standards

Resolution and Format

Property Requirement
Format Vector (PDF or SVG) for plots; PNG at ≥300 DPI only for raster images (photos, heatmaps)
Minimum DPI 300 for raster, vector preferred for all line/bar/scatter plots
File format for LaTeX PDF (first choice) or EPS; avoid PNG/JPG for plots
Size Match column width of target venue (typically 3.25" single column, 6.875" double column for IEEE/ACM)

Typography

Property Requirement
Font family Match venue profile (see Venue-Specific Styles below) — sans-serif for CNS, serif for CS/IEEE
Axis label size ≥ 8pt after scaling to final print size
Tick label size ≥ 7pt after scaling
Legend text size ≥ 7pt after scaling
Figure title OMIT — do NOT put a title on the figure. The LaTeX \caption{} serves as the title.
Panel labels Bold lowercase for CNS-style (a, b, c); uppercase for CS/IEEE (A, B, C) — see venue profile

Test: After generating a figure, mentally scale it to its final column width. If any text becomes unreadable at that size, increase the font.

Color

Property Requirement
Color palette Match venue profile — Nature palette for CNS, Tableau 10 for CS, see below
Consistency ALL figures in the same paper must use the SAME color → method mapping
Grayscale fallback Figures must be distinguishable in grayscale (some venues print in B&W). Use markers/hatching in addition to color
Maximum colors ≤ 8 distinct colors per figure; beyond that, use subplots

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.
