sciplot-academic: Skill for Claude Code

.claude/skills/sciplot/SKILL.md

sciplot is a skill for Claude Code from rippleshe/sciplot-academic. It costs 122 tokens per session (2,894 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for making clear, publication-ready scientific charts and paper figures. It helps choose a chart type based on the research question, data structure, and intended audience.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create plots for trends, comparisons, distributions, correlations, uncertainty, compositions, flows, networks, and other research data.
Why use it?
It reduces misleading or overly decorative charts by keeping the main finding easy to see and the data accurately represented.

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

sciplot 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 10d 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.

SciPlot Academic — publication figure workflow

这个 Skill 的目标不是“调用一个画图函数”,而是把数据变成语义正确、视觉克制、可复核、可投稿的科研图。

1. 先判断,不要急着画

先回答四个问题:

  1. 图要证明什么? 趋势、差异、分布、相关、构成、流向、模型诊断还是机制流程?
  2. 数据是什么结构? 连续/类别/时间/矩阵/网络/层级/多阶段流;是否有重复测量、误差或显著性?
  3. 使用场景是什么? nature / ieee / thesis / presentation,中文还是英文?
  4. 读者第一眼应该看到什么? 主结论必须比装饰、网格、背景、次要系列更抢眼。

不要为了“高级”选择复杂图型。普通折线、散点、箱线、森林图如果更准确,就优先用它们。

2. 图型选择

常用入口:

研究问题 首选
单/多组趋势 sp.plot() / sp.plot_multi()
两连续变量关系 sp.plot_scatter();高密度用 sp.plot_hexbin()
分类数值比较 sp.plot_bar() / sp.plot_grouped_bar()
前后/两条件变化 sp.plot_dumbbell()
分布与原始点 sp.plot_raincloud() / sp.plot_beeswarm()
经典分布摘要 sp.plot_box() / sp.plot_violin()
矩阵/相关性 sp.plot_heatmap() / sp.plot_bubble_heatmap()
模型比较与不确定性 sp.plot_errorbar() / sp.plot_forest() / sp.plot_taylor()
组成占比 sp.plot_treemap() / sp.plot_donut() / sp.plot_waffle()
排名变化 sp.plot_bump() / sp.plot_circular_barplot()
多阶段流动 sp.plot_sankey() / sp.plot_alluvial()
层级构成 sp.plot_sunburst()
网络结构 sp.plot_network() / sp.plot_network_communities()
多组分 sp.plot_ternary()
多维性能 sp.plot_radar(),但维度少且尺度一致时才用
多面板论文图 sp.figure_panels() + 各绘图 API

完整函数表和参数细节按需读取 references/full-api.md;常见组合范式读取 references/recipes.md;配色与视觉语义读取 references/color-style.md。不要把整个参考文件无差别读入上下文,只读当前任务需要的部分。

如果参考文档与实际安装版本冲突,以运行时为准:

import inspect
import sciplot as sp
print(sp.__version__)
print(inspect.signature(sp.plot_scatter))

3. 默认工作流

Step A — 建立样式

import sciplot as sp
sp.setup_style("nature", palette="ocean", lang="en")

常用场景:

  • 英文期刊:natureieee,优先 PDF/SVG。
  • 中文论文/学位论文:thesis, lang="zh"
  • PPT/答辩:presentation,PNG 300 dpi 足够。
  • 基础出版风格由 SciPlot 默认层兜底:四边向内主/次刻度、完整轴脊、无框图例、稳定线宽和保存边距;不要在业务代码里重复写这些“补妆”设置。
  • 不要因为用户没指定,就默认深色、渐变背景、玻璃拟态、阴影卡片。

Step B — 画主图

高层 plot_* 默认返回 PlotResult,可以继续拿 fig / ax 做最后 10% 的定制:

result = sp.plot_scatter(x, y, xlabel="Dose (mg)", ylabel="Response")
fig, ax = result

What ships with it

3 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.

Changes

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.
