grant-figure-qa

grant-figure-qa is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from neuromechanist/research-skills. It costs 57 tokens per session (639 once invoked), scanned A, original, BSD-3-Clause.

A review procedure for checking grant-proposal figures against agency requirements, including resolution, size, fonts, accessibility, content, and captions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review NIH or NSF proposal figures and receive a structured quality and compliance report from an independent reviewer.
Why use it?
It catches presentation and compliance problems in figures before a grant is submitted.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for Claude Code and Codex: $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable, but also reads ~/.codex or $CODEX_HOME. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code; mentions Codex.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

grant-figure-qa 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.

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.

Grant Figure QA

Routes a grant proposal's figures to an independent, fresh-context QA reviewer that checks every figure for NIH/NSF compliance (resolution, dimensions, fonts, color accessibility, content, captions) and returns a structured report. This skill is a thin dispatcher: the full checklist and report format live in references/figure-qa-procedure.md.

When to use

Activate when preparing a grant for submission and the figures need a compliance and accessibility pass, or when the user asks to check proposal figures.

Why a fresh-context reviewer

A compliance pass is more trustworthy from a reviewer that did not author the figures. Run it in a separate context and pass only the proposal directory and target agency. On tools without subagents, run the procedure inline.

Dispatch

In every branch the reviewer follows references/figure-qa-procedure.md.

  • Claude Code: Task(subagent_type: "grant-figure-qa", ...) passing the proposal directory and agency (NIH/NSF). Honor a no-qa opt-out by returning immediately.
  • Codex CLI: plugin installation exposes this skill, not a Codex subagent. To use a fresh-context Codex reviewer, first copy agents/templates/grant-figure-qa.toml to ~/.codex/agents/ or .codex/agents/, then invoke that configured agent if the current Codex surface supports /agent. If no Codex subagent is configured or available, use the fallback branch.
  • Copilot CLI: plugin installation exposes this skill and, through .github/plugin/plugin.json, the .agent.md reviewer in agents/templates/. Invoke that configured agent when the current Copilot surface supports custom agents. If running outside a plugin install, copy agents/templates/grant-figure-qa.agent.md to .github/agents/ or ~/.copilot/agents/. If no custom agent is available, use the fallback branch.
  • Fallback (no subagent support, or an interactive in-thread check): first locate the procedure ($CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/grant-figure-qa/references, else find . -type d -path '*/skills/grant-figure-qa/references' | head -1); if it cannot be found, stop and tell the user to install the grant plugin rather than guessing requirements. Then follow references/figure-qa-procedure.md directly.

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.
