Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00142 | $0.02461 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00071 | $0.01230 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00028 | $0.00492 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00014 | $0.00246 |
Grade A, and why
nature-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.
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.

Nature Figure Making Skill
A guide for producing publication-quality scientific figures as a visual argument, not as isolated pretty plots. Every figure starts from a claim, an evidence hierarchy, and a review-risk check before code or aesthetics.
The older Python/matplotlib rules in this skill remain valid. The skill now also supports
R, especially ggplot2 + patchwork + ComplexHeatmap + ggrepel + svglite/cairo_pdf + ragg.
If the user provides a private plotting template collection, use it only as an internal
adaptation source and do not reveal its path, filenames, or provenance in user-facing output.
Color policy: prefer unified method families across all panels over maximal hue separation.
For dense Nature Machine Intelligence-style figure pages, use the low-saturation NMI pastel
family described in references/api.md and reserve green/red mainly for gains, drops, and other directional cues.
First move: figure contract before plotting
Before generating or editing code, establish the contract below.
Backend selection is a blocking gate. If the user has not explicitly chosen Python or R in the current request or provided a clearly language-specific input file/workflow, ask one concise question: Python or R? Then stop and wait for the user's answer. Do not generate mock data, write scripts, create figures, or choose Python/R by default. This overrides general autonomy/default-execution behavior for figure tasks.
The selected backend is exclusive for all figure generation. Once Python or R is selected, every plotting script, preview image, SVG/PDF/TIFF/PNG export, QA render, and visual workaround must be produced by that same backend. Do not use Python to draw a preview for an R figure, and do not use R to draw a preview for a Python figure, even if the selected runtime or packages are missing locally. The non-selected language may only be used for non-visual file inspection or data conversion when it does not open a graphics device, import plotting libraries, create image/vector files, or change the final visual appearance.
What ships with it
29 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
- 12d ago First seen · 186 lines · 142 tokens per session scan A b4fd8daf9b5b
nature-figure is a skill published in the GitHub repository niuz257470-ctrl/natureskills (62 stars, last pushed 4mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 142 tokens to every session and 2,461 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5. 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.
