A workflow for creating publication-ready scientific charts and tables from research results, including figures, LaTeX tables, and quality checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a chart or table type, turn spreadsheet data into LaTeX, export paper-ready assets, and review their quality.
Why use it?
It helps match the visual form to the scientific question and catch presentation problems before assets are used in a paper.

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

publication-chart-skill 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/ensure_publication_tooling.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.

Publication Chart Skill

Goal

Use this skill to turn research results into publication-grade figures and tables with an end-to-end workflow.

Primary production stack:

  • pubfig for figures
  • pubtab for publication tables

This skill covers the full delivery chain:

  1. understand the scientific communication goal,
  2. choose the right artifact type,
  3. map the task to pubfig, pubtab, or both,
  4. generate concrete runnable instructions,
  5. export paper-ready assets,
  6. run publication QA,
  7. propose targeted revisions.

Use this skill when

Trigger this skill for requests like:

  • “make a publication-quality figure”
  • “choose the right chart for these results”
  • “turn these results into a paper-ready figure”
  • “make a benchmark / ablation / calibration / forest / heatmap / scatter / line / bar figure”
  • “make a benchmark / appendix / ablation table from Excel”
  • “convert this Excel table into publication-ready LaTeX”
  • “prepare one summary figure plus one companion table for the results section”
  • “review and improve this scientific figure/table”
  • “I already have a weak chart / screenshot / draft plot — make it publication-ready”
  • “export panels for a paper figure”

Do not use this skill for

Do not use this skill when the task is mainly:

  • manuscript prose writing,
  • statistical testing without artifact design,
  • raw exploratory analysis with no publication deliverable,
  • Figma-first layout work before the figure/table content is solid.

For simple composite assembly after the figure content is already strong, use the optional secondary workflow in references/composite-assembly.md.

Primary contract

Inputs

Expect some combination of:

  • the scientific communication goal,
  • available data shape,
  • venue or style constraints,
  • whether the artifact is a figure, table, or mixed deliverable,
  • optional existing assets such as code, spreadsheets, .tex, screenshots, or draft plots,
  • whether the user needs a first draft, a publication-ready artifact, or a review/revision pass.

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.
