scientific-ppt-drawing

scientific-ppt-drawing is a skill for Codex from SPYfighting/my-academic-skills. It costs 52 tokens per session (1,422 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating or redrawing scientific diagrams as editable PowerPoint shapes and text. It can start from a description, reference image, or SVG and place the figure in a presentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to draw conceptual biology or instrument figures, revise existing scientific figures, or transfer editable figures into an existing PPTX deck.
Why use it?
It avoids producing a flat image that is difficult to edit. It also helps keep scientific structures, labels, and layout adjustable inside PowerPoint.

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

scientific-ppt-drawing 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 18d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/figure_cli.py, scripts/figurelib/__init__.py, scripts/figurelib/common.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Scientific PPT Drawing

Version 0.1.0. Create a scientific figure whose key biological structures and instruments are recognizable at the intended slide size, while keeping its lines, paths, shapes, and text editable in PowerPoint. This skill creates one figure per slide, then can transfer its native objects to an existing deck. It does not need a data file or vector source when the user asks for a conceptual figure.

Start and route

Resolve skill_dir from this SKILL.md. Read setup and application control on a new machine or when opening an existing deck. Run the bundled CLI with a CPython 3.11–3.13 environment containing requirements.lock:

<python> <skill_dir>/scripts/figure_cli.py doctor

Choose the user's actual input route:

  • Description alone: plan the scientific story, panels, labels, iconography, and hierarchy; draw a structured SVG from scratch using paths, basic shapes, and real <text>. If useful, consult relevant papers for visual conventions and cite them. Illustrative measurements must be visibly identified as illustrative; never infer experimental values from a picture.
  • Reference image: inspect and redraw the scientific content as intentional PowerPoint objects. Follow semantic drawing: one continuous line should normally become one editable path; construct each instrument or icon from a small set of meaningful parts. Recreate text as live text. Use raster reconstruction only for selected details that cannot reasonably be redrawn by hand, and simplify those traces before delivery. Never place an unchanged full-panel screenshot into the PPTX as the figure.
  • Existing SVG: validate it and render it directly. Resolve unsupported effects explicitly; the parser rejects them rather than omitting them.

Treat papers and web pages as visual references, not as evidence that the user's figure contains measured results. Preserve the user's original file and use new output filenames for iterations.

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.

scientific-ppt-drawing is a skill published in the GitHub repository SPYfighting/my-academic-skills (22 stars, last pushed 17d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 52 tokens to every session and 1,422 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-29.
