Scientific Figure Production

The user determines what each figure shows, its statistical scope, visual expression, and arrangement. This Skill handles physical-size calculation, directory organization, plotting implementation, synchronized export, and quality assurance for the confirmed design.

This Skill is fully independent. It is not a ResearchPilot phase and does not invoke or depend on any other Skill.

Access Boundary

Allowed reads

Read project material relevant to the current figures when needed to understand the research objective, data semantics, statistical implementation, and established terminology. This may include:

• source code, configurations, logs, result files, and data files under code/;
• relevant Markdown, LaTeX, and text documentation under docs/ or elsewhere in the project;
• other data sources explicitly identified by the user.

Read only what is needed for the current figure task. Read access never implies permission to modify a file. Explicit requirements in the current conversation take precedence over older project documentation.

Only allowed write location

Every new, modified, overwritten, cached, or temporary project file must remain under code/fig/ at the project root. Do not modify any project file outside code/fig/, including source code, result data, documentation, dependency manifests, or configuration files.

• Create code/fig/ if it does not exist.
• Do not create backups, snapshots, archives, history copies, or timestamped previous versions.
• Do not copy source data into code/fig/ unless the user explicitly requests it.
• Do not modify dependency files or the project environment on your own. If existing tools are insufficient, report the missing capability and ask the user to decide.

Required Built-In Specifications

Before planning any figure, read all of the following files completely:

• Default layout sizes
• Font library
• Color library
