academic-plotting

academic-plotting is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OpenRaiser/NanoResearch. It costs 68 tokens per session (5,470 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A figure-making workflow for machine-learning research papers. It creates architecture or process diagrams from research context and charts such as lines, bars, scatter plots, and heatmaps from data.

In plain words
What is it for?
For making diagrams of model architectures and workflows, or data-driven figures for training results, comparisons, and experiments.
Why use it?
It helps turn system descriptions and experiment results into publication-ready figures using an appropriate kind of graphic.

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

academic-plotting 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 4d 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.

Academic Plotting for ML Papers

Generate publication-quality figures for ML/AI conference papers. Two distinct workflows:

  1. Diagram figures (architecture, system design, workflows, pipelines) — AI image generation via Gemini
  2. Data figures (line charts, bar charts, scatter plots, heatmaps, ablations) — matplotlib/seaborn

When to Use Which Workflow

Figure Type Tool Why
Architecture / system diagram Gemini (Workflow 1) Complex spatial layouts with boxes, arrows, labels
Workflow / pipeline / lifecycle Gemini (Workflow 1) Multi-step processes with connections
Bar chart, line plot, scatter matplotlib (Workflow 2) Precise numerical data, reproducible
Heatmap, confusion matrix matplotlib/seaborn (Workflow 2) Structured grid data
Ablation table as chart matplotlib (Workflow 2) Grouped bars or line comparisons
Pie / donut chart matplotlib (Workflow 2) Proportional data (use sparingly in ML papers)
Training curves matplotlib (Workflow 2) Loss/accuracy over steps/epochs

Rule of thumb: If the figure has numerical axes, use matplotlib. If the figure has boxes and arrows, use Gemini.


Step 0: Context Analysis & Extraction

The user will typically provide one of these inputs — not a ready-made specification:

Input Type Example What to Extract
Full paper / section draft "Here's our method section..." System components, their relationships, data flow
Description paragraph "Our system has three layers that..." Key entities, hierarchy, connections
Raw results / data table "MMLU: 85.2, HumanEval: 72.1..." Metrics, methods, comparison structure
CSV / JSON data Experiment log files Variables, trends, grouping dimensions
Vague request "Make a figure for the overview" Read surrounding paper context to infer content

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.

academic-plotting is a skill published in the GitHub repository OpenRaiser/NanoResearch (1,363 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 68 tokens to every session and 5,470 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
