nature-figure

nature-figure is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from hamzabellouch/agent-skills. It costs 235 tokens per session (1,565 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of nature-figure, MIT.

A tool for creating, revising, checking, and exporting scientific figures with Python or R, including multi-panel plots and journal-ready SVG, PDF, and TIFF files. Python and R are programming languages commonly used for data analysis and plotting.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make manuscript plots, multi-panel figures, heat maps, paper schematics, and export files for scientific journals.
Why use it?
It helps researchers turn data into consistent figures that meet publication requirements and makes figure quality checks part of the workflow.

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

nature-figure 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 17 executable files (assets/figures4papers/figure_brainteaser/plot_brute_force.py, assets/figures4papers/figure_brainteaser/plot_correctness_by_category.py, assets/figures4papers/figure_brainteaser/plot_correctness_by_subcategory.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 — 79 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Nature Figure Making — Router

This skill is split into two layers:

  • A static layer under static/ that holds versioned, reusable content fragments (the figure contract and default stance, plus a per-backend quick-start for Python and R).
  • A dynamic layer (this file plus manifest.yaml) that detects the plotting backend and loads only the fragment needed for the current job. The large design, API, pattern, and QA material lives in on-demand references.

Do not try to apply the figure logic from memory or from this router. Always load fragments from disk as described below.

Routing protocol

Follow these steps every time the skill is invoked.

0. Check for the OpenRouter AI-schematic route

If the user explicitly asks to generate a manuscript schematic, graphical abstract, mechanism diagram, concept illustration, or paper schematic with OpenRouter, GPT Image 2, an image-generation API, or similar wording, do not ask "Python or R?". This is a non-plotting AI-schematic route.

For this route:

  1. Read manifest.yaml and the always_load files.
  2. Read references/openrouter-image-generation.md.
  3. Use scripts/generate_openrouter_schematic.py when the user wants a real API call or a reproducible payload.
  4. Treat output as a draft schematic / graphical abstract, not as a quantitative data panel. Do not invent experimental values, author logos, institutional marks, or unsupported mechanisms.

Only continue to the Python/R backend gate for plotting, charting, data visualization, or manuscript figure assembly tasks that are not explicit OpenRouter AI image-generation requests.

1. Load the manifest and the core layer

Read manifest.yaml. It declares the backend axis, the allowed values, and the file paths each value maps to.

Also read every file listed under always_load (static/core/contract.md and static/core/stance.md). These hold the figure contract, the backend gate, the missing-runtime rule, the privacy rule, and the default operating stance that apply to every figure job.

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.
