make-sci-data-figures

make-sci-data-figures is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from zhoy0409-debug/polish-sci-figures. It costs 90 tokens per session (2,598 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workbench for turning raw CSV, TSV, or Excel tables into defensible scientific figures. It chooses charts based on the biological question and data structure rather than assuming one chart type fits every dataset.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for group comparisons, relationships, time courses, compositions, matrices, survival data, dose–response curves, ROC/PR analyses, and other specialist results that need publication figures.
Why use it?
It helps prevent misleading comparisons by requiring details such as the experimental unit, paired or independent design, time points, and authoritative group order before plotting.

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

make-sci-data-figures 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 3d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 8 executable files (examples/make_advanced_examples.py, examples/make_family_examples.py, scripts/advanced_template_workbench.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 — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

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.

For unified CLI inspection and confirmation states, read references/safe_cli_routing.md. Never treat a role inferred from a column name as a declared experimental unit or design.

Minimum intake

Accept tidy CSV, TSV, or XLSX. Route the table by scientific structure rather than forcing every dataset into a group comparison:

Structure Required declarations Script command
Continuous group comparison group, value, biological-unit ID, independent/paired design, authoritative order figure_workbench.py generate
Numeric relationship x, y, biological-unit ID; optional group data_family_workbench.py relationship
Longitudinal response time, value, group, biological-unit ID data_family_workbench.py timecourse
Composition sample, category, non-negative value; optional group data_family_workbench.py composition
Tidy matrix row, column, value; explicit or automatic display clustering data_family_workbench.py matrix
Survival follow-up time, 0/1 event, group, biological-unit ID advanced_template_workbench.py survival
Dose-response positive dose, response, group; optional unit ID advanced_template_workbench.py dose-response
Classification binary outcome, score, biological-unit ID; optional cohort advanced_template_workbench.py roc
Supplied specialist results family-specific estimate/result columns advanced_template_workbench.py FAMILY

Before inferential statistics, establish:

  1. the outcome, unit, and intended claim;
  2. the biological experimental unit;
  3. whether observations are independent, paired, repeated, nested, or technical replicates;
  4. the reference group and group order;
  5. whether endpoints or contrasts were pre-specified or exploratory.

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.

make-sci-data-figures is a skill published in the GitHub repository zhoy0409-debug/polish-sci-figures (4 stars, last pushed 9d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 2,598 once invoked, about $0.0005 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 2026-08-31.
