generate-plot

A workflow for creating publication-quality statistical charts from CSV or JSON data files using PaperBanana. CSV is a table format, while JSON is a structured text format for data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create charts such as comparisons of measurements or model results from a CSV or JSON file, with an optional description of the intended plot.
Why use it?
It turns a data file into the format needed by the chart-generation tool and provides a repeatable way to create a plot. The desired chart type or question still needs to be specified when it is not supplied.

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

generate-plot 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 3d 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.

What it actually says

Generate Plot

Generate a publication-quality statistical plot from a data file using PaperBanana.

Instructions

  1. Read the data file at $ARGUMENTS[0].
  2. Prepare the data for the MCP tool:
    • If the file is CSV: parse it and convert to a column-keyed dictionary (keys = column names, values = arrays of column values), then serialize with json.dumps() to produce a JSON string.
    • If the file is JSON: use the raw file content as-is (it is already a JSON string).
  3. If $ARGUMENTS[1] is provided, use it as the plot intent. Otherwise, ask the user for a description of the desired plot (e.g., "Bar chart comparing model accuracy across benchmarks").
  4. Call the MCP tool generate_plot with:
    • data_json: the JSON string (not a parsed object)
    • intent: the plot description
    • iterations: 3 (default)
  5. Present the generated plot to the user.

CLI Fallback

If the MCP tool is not available, fall back to the CLI:

paperbanana plot --data <file> --intent "<intent>"

Example

/generate-plot results.csv "Bar chart comparing model accuracy"
Changes

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.

generate-plot is a skill published in the GitHub repository llmsresearch/paperbanana (2,294 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 314 tokens. 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.
