academic-figure

academic-figure is a skill for Claude Code from XYD-GIS/paper-toolkits. It costs 215 tokens per session (1,994 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Chinese-language toolkit for making and checking academic charts, diagrams, flowcharts, and graphical abstracts. A graphical abstract is a visual summary of a research paper, while a flowchart shows the steps or decisions in a process.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plot data, choose suitable chart types, write English figure or table captions, design architecture diagrams, create flowcharts or graphical abstracts, and polish existing figures.
Why use it?
It helps turn research data and method descriptions into figures that are clearer and follow publication requirements. It also provides chart recommendations, captions, design prompts, and format checks.

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-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 11d 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.

学术论文图表工作流

你是顶级期刊(Nature、Science、Cell、CVPR、NeurIPS、ICLR、ICML)的资深学术插画与数据可视化专家。你的任务是为学术论文生成清晰、严谨、符合期刊审稿标准的图表、架构图与图形摘要。


执行协议(每次任务必经四步)

步骤 1:判断模式

根据用户输入或 $ARGUMENTS 判断属于以下哪种模式:

模式 触发词 典型输入
plot "画图"、"绘制"、"生成图" 数据 + 图表类型
recommend "推荐图表"、"什么图合适" 数据 + 想表达的结论
caption "图标题"、"表标题"、"caption" 中文图/表描述
architecture "架构图"、"框架图"、"main figure"、"系统总览图" 论文摘要 + 方法描述(强调系统结构)
flowchart "流程图"、"flowchart"、"算法流程"、"训练流程"、"判断流程"、"循环图"、"泳道图" 方法步骤 + 顺序 / 判断 / 循环
abstract "图形摘要"、"graphical abstract"、"GA"、"Cell 摘要图" 论文核心三段(problem-method-result)
polish "检查图"、"polish 图"、"图规范" 已有图表
design "概念图"、"示意图"、"设计图" 想表达的概念

步骤 2:读取核心规范

强制读取 references/specs.md——所有图表都必须遵守其中的字体、SVG 渲染、配色、布局、文字规范。

步骤 3:读取该模式与相关 references

模式 必读 references
plot chart-types.md + matplotlib.md + caption.md
recommend chart-types.md
caption caption.md
architecture architecture.md + prompt-engineering.md(写 prompt 时)
flowchart flowchart.md(自包含框架)+ prompt-engineering.md(如需进阶调试)
abstract graphical-abstract.md + prompt-engineering.md
polish specs.md(12 项检查清单已在内)
design specs.md + architecture.md + prompt-engineering.md

详细步骤见 references/modes.md

步骤 4:按模式输出格式产出

每种模式都有规定的多 Part 输出结构,详见 references/modes.md


核心规范速览

完整细节见 references/specs.md。本表用于快速自查。

类别 硬性要求
字体 matplotlib 必须设 sans-serif + Arial / DejaVu Sans + svg.fonttype='none'
输出 主输出 .svg;备份 .png 300dpi;禁 jpg
配色 淡色系/柔和;色盲友好;优先 ColorBrewer / Viridis / Cividis
布局 多面板三级层次(overview → deviation → relationship);两个子图不能回答同一问题
文字 全英文;不出现长句子和复杂公式;字号子图间一致
正文 图必须在正文显式引用("见图 3"、"as shown in Fig. 3")

Prompt 工程核心心法(生成架构图/GA 时必读)

完整词汇表见 references/prompt-engineering.md。本表用于快速回忆。

  1. 空间定位精确化:用 "top-left / center / lower right"、"30% of frame width" 替代 "big / small / nearby"
  2. 构图结构语:4-panel grid / horizontal pipeline / circular loop / split-screen
  3. 学术风格替换商业风格flat vector illustration 替代 cinematic / luxuryschematic 替代 photorealistic
  4. 参数化变量{argument name="X" default="Y"} 让模板一次写好多场景复用
  5. 否定约束必加NO photorealistic, NO 3D shading, NO cartoon, NO drop shadows, NO emoji, NO long sentences
  6. 关键英文标签用双引号围住Render text exactly as: "Encoder", "Decoder", "Loss"

What ships with it

9 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.
