ai-full-figure

ai-full-figure is a skill for Claude Code from neuromechanist/research-skills. It costs 166 tokens per session (1,647 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A workflow for creating scientific figures with an AI-generated pictorial background and programmatically added labels, arrows, or scale bars.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for pictorial figures such as brain renderings, microscope or apparatus illustrations, anatomical scenes, and graphical-abstract backgrounds.
Why use it?
It separates the illustrative scene from the precise annotations that AI image generation may render unreliably.

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

ai-full-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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (examples/poster_substrate.py, scripts/generate_figure.py, scripts/overlay_labels.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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 128 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

AI Full Figure

Generate a pictorial substrate via AI (Codex CLI or OpenAI Images API) and overlay labels, arrows, and scale bars programmatically. The output is an SVG that embeds the raster substrate and lets the [[scientific-figure]] composer place it as a panel.

When to use this skill

Reach for ai-full-figure when the figure's picture is the point:

  • A brain rendering for a methods overview slide
  • A microscope or apparatus illustration for a poster
  • An anatomical scene as the background of a graphical abstract
  • Any "what does this setup look like" pictorial

Reach for a different skill when the figure is information-dense:

Figure type Skill
Data plot (matplotlib, seaborn, plotly) [[plot-styling]] for the plot, then [[scientific-figure]] to compose
Schematic with boxes / arrows / process flow [[svg-primitives]] (programmatic) or [[svg-figure]] (hand-authored conventions)
Flat scientific icon as part of a figure [[transparent-icons]]
Multi-panel journal figure [[scientific-figure]] as the composer

Hard ceiling on AI generation

gpt-image-2 and equivalent models cannot reliably render:

  • Data plots with axis numerals (axes hallucinate, tick labels are nonsense)
  • Equations (LaTeX or Greek-letter math)
  • Multi-arrow flowcharts (arrow direction inconsistent, arrows cross wrong)
  • Long labels in specific positions ("> 5 labeled elements" is a useful threshold)
  • Anything that needs to be read precisely — labels >1–2 words drift

The right pattern when those are needed: substrate-only generation, programmatic overlay.

  1. Prompt the model for the pictorial scene with no text, no labels, no arrows.
  2. Compose labels, arrows, scale bars, and panel letters as a separate SVG layer.
  3. Ship the combined SVG.

If the user is asking for a figure that violates the hard ceiling, route to [[svg-figure]] or [[scientific-figure]] and explain why. AI generation for embedded text remains unreliable as of 2026.

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.
