What it does

This skill should be used when the user asks for a publication-quality scientific figure or table, wants help choosing the right chart for results, needs a paper-ready pubfig or pubtab workflow, wants a figure + companion table for a results section, wants an Excel sheet turned into publication-ready LaTeX, or wants an existing scientific figure/table reviewed and upgraded.

Publication Chart Skill

Goal

Use this skill to turn research results into publication-grade figures and tables with an end-to-end workflow.

Primary production stack:

  • pubfig for figures
  • pubtab for publication tables

This skill covers the full delivery chain:

  1. understand the scientific communication goal,
  2. choose the right artifact type,
  3. map the task to pubfig, pubtab, or both,
  4. generate concrete runnable instructions,
  5. export paper-ready assets,
  6. run publication QA,
  7. propose targeted revisions.

Use this skill when

Trigger this skill for requests like:

  • “make a publication-quality figure”
  • “choose the right chart for these results”
  • “turn these results into a paper-ready figure”
  • “make a benchmark / ablation / calibration / forest / heatmap / scatter / line / bar figure”
  • “make a benchmark / appendix / ablation table from Excel”
  • “convert this Excel table into publication-ready LaTeX”
  • “prepare one summary figure plus one companion table for the results section”
  • “review and improve this scientific figure/table”
  • “I already have a weak chart / screenshot / draft plot, make it publication-ready”
  • “export panels for a paper figure”

Do not use this skill for

Do not use this skill when the task is mainly:

  • manuscript prose writing,
  • statistical testing without artifact design,
  • raw exploratory analysis with no publication deliverable,
  • Figma-first layout work before the figure/table content is solid.

For simple composite assembly after the figure content is already strong, use the optional secondary workflow in references/composite-assembly.md.
