matplotlib-scientific-plotting

A Python plotting toolkit for making detailed scientific figures. It supports charts such as line, scatter, bar, heatmap, contour, and 3D plots, with export to PNG, PDF, or SVG.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create publication-ready plots, arrange several panels in one figure, customise labels and visual details, and save figures in common image or vector formats.
Why use it?
It gives precise control over the appearance and layout of every figure element. This is useful when a quick default chart is not suitable for a paper or report.

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

matplotlib-scientific-plotting 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 yesterday.

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.

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.

matplotlib-scientific-plotting is a skill published in the GitHub repository jaechang-hits/SciAgent-Skills (356 stars, last pushed 3d ago), with no licence file. It adds 63 tokens to every session and 4,784 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
