scientific-visualization

scientific-visualization is a skill for Claude Code from Lzy599775/agent-auto-sci-skills. It costs 59 tokens per session (3,592 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of scientific-visualization, MIT.

Guidance for making scientific charts truthful, accessible, and ready for publication using Matplotlib, Seaborn, or Plotly. It covers figure layouts, uncertainty, missing data, color and contrast, and exported-file checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design or audit static and interactive scientific figures, including multi-panel charts and displays of uncertainty or missing observations. It also helps plan metadata checks and journal-specific exports.
Why use it?
It helps prevent charts from hiding, inventing, or distorting data, and avoids mistaking interactive features or default settings for accessibility or journal compliance. It keeps the raw data and transformations traceable.

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

scientific-visualization 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 13d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (assets/color_palettes.py, scripts/_common.py, scripts/export_plan.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 — 308 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scientific Visualization

Build figures that preserve scientific meaning before optimizing appearance. Separate universal principles from dated publisher rules, preserve raw data and transformations, use color redundantly, and inspect delivered files rather than trusting plotting defaults.

Non-negotiable guardrails

  • Never alter, hide, invent, or selectively enhance data to improve a figure.
  • Preserve raw tables/images, exclusions, missing-value codes, analysis code, normalization, binning, image adjustments, and random seeds.
  • Do not infer journal requirements. Identify the exact journal, article type, figure type, and submission phase; verify its live official guidance.
  • Do not claim that a palette, DPI value, format, or automated report makes a figure accessible or journal-compliant.
  • Do not silently connect missing observations, suppress inconvenient points, upsample images as if detail increased, or tune axes/dual axes to exaggerate a conclusion.
  • Keep interactive and static outputs as distinct deliverables. Interactive hover is not a substitute for labels, alt text, keyboard access, an accessible data table, or a static fallback.

Read references/publication_guidelines.md for deceptive-encoding and integrity checks. Read references/journal_requirements.md only after the target and phase are known.

Workflow

1. Define the evidence and destination

Record:

  • audience and medium: manuscript, web, slide, poster, supplement;
  • exact publisher/journal, article type, submission phase, and intended final width;
  • variable semantics, units, sample/replicate structure, missing/censored values;
  • estimator and uncertainty definition;
  • transformations: filtering, aggregation, normalization, smoothing, bins, image processing;
  • source-data paths/identifiers and output provenance.

If requirements are not known, create a provisional general figure and label all publisher choices as pending verification.

2. Choose an honest encoding

Prefer position on a common scale. Before coding, check:
