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:
pubfigfor figurespubtabfor publication tables
This skill covers the full delivery chain:
- understand the scientific communication goal,
- choose the right artifact type,
- map the task to
pubfig,pubtab, or both, - generate concrete runnable instructions,
- export paper-ready assets,
- run publication QA,
- 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.
