Make SCI Data Figures

Start from the biological question and experimental unit, not from a preferred chart type. Produce several honest candidates from the same data, keep their canvas and typography identical, and explain why each candidate is or is not appropriate.

An ordinary request such as “帮我把这张表画成适合论文的图” is enough to begin. Read the table before asking questions; when design is unresolved, ask concretely whether records describe the same objects before/after or different objects. Offer a small useful shortlist and explain what each reveals instead of requiring statistical jargon or an elaborate prompt.

Shared Figure Discovery

When a user says “不知道这些数据该怎么画”, call the same deterministic engine used by Figure Studio, from the suite root:

python sci_figures.py discover data.csv --json
python sci_figures.py discover data.xlsx --sheet 0 --context research-context.json --out discovery-results --json

Read the discovery contract and context examples. The CLI adapter requires Node.js 18+ in addition to the verified Python environment. CSV/TSV/XLSX are read locally. The ResearchDiscovery browser module is the sole scientific recommendation implementation; do not invent a second rule list in the prompt. Inspect profile.confirmation_needed and excluded before asking the few relevant design questions. Record only actual user declarations: column-name matches remain inferred_unverified. Never infer independence, pairing, biological replication, nesting or completed differential analysis from a keyword. Counts are observations or distinct IDs until experimental units are confirmed.

Use a local JSON context to declare column roles, raw/summary/results level, design, outcome type, technical replicates and nesting. Paired long tables require an explicit pair_order. ROC requires observed labels/scores and a positive class; volcano requires supplied adjusted P values and explicitly confirmed display thresholds. --out runs the existing workbenches, validates each real-data candidate and produces an editable Studio HTML plus a trace JSON. Check renderer_status: rule eligibility does not itself certify successful rendering. Existing specialist workbenches and the full manual template library remain available outside the initial curated discovery subset.
