Create Publication-Ready Scientific Figures
Scientific figures often fail journal checks for size, color, typography, or export format. This skill guides Claude, Codex, and Claude Code through publication-ready plotting workflows.

Test it
Using "scientific-visualization". Create a Nature-style treatment comparison figure from three groups with individual points and summary statistics.
Expected outcome:
A figure plan with a single-column layout, readable labels, individual data points, error bars, significance markers, and PDF export guidance.
Using "scientific-visualization". Review a heatmap that uses a rainbow color map and lacks a colorbar label.
Expected outcome:
A revision checklist that replaces the palette, adds a labeled colorbar, improves tick labels, and verifies grayscale readability.
Using "scientific-visualization". Prepare a four-panel manuscript figure for a cell biology paper.
Expected outcome:
A panel layout with consistent sizing, bold panel labels, shared typography, accessible colors, and TIFF or PDF export recommendations.
Security Audit
SafeMost static alerts are false positives from Markdown backticks, dictionary keys, scientific plotting terms, and documentation links. One medium filesystem risk remains because a helper writes a style template to a caller-provided path. I found no prompt injection, credential access, data exfiltration, or unauthorized network behavior.

Skillstore Score
Why this score Evidence Confidence: HighWhat You Can Build
Prepare Manuscript Figures
Convert draft plots into figures with journal sizes, readable labels, and correct export formats.
Standardize Lab Plot Styling
Apply consistent fonts, palettes, panel labels, and file formats across a research group.
Improve Accessible Data Graphics
Replace weak color choices with colorblind-safe palettes and redundant encodings.
Try These Prompts
Use this skill to plan a publication-ready line plot. Target journal: [journal]. Data columns: [columns]. Include size, labels, palette, and export format.
Review my current figure description for publication quality. Identify problems with fonts, colors, units, legends, resolution, and export settings.
Design a multi-panel scientific figure for [study topic]. Include panel order, plot types, shared styling, accessibility checks, and journal-ready export settings.
Audit this figure plan against [journal] requirements. Check dimensions, typography, palette, grayscale readability, error bars, statistics, and file formats.
Best Practices
- Choose the target journal before setting figure dimensions and export formats.
- Use colorblind-safe palettes and redundant encodings for important categories.
- Review every figure at final print size before submission.
Avoid
- Do not use rainbow or red-green palettes for quantitative scientific data.
- Do not export line art as low-resolution JPEG files.
- Do not omit units, sample sizes, or error bar definitions.
