figure-comparison

What problem does it solve?

It helps you quickly verify whether an ASTRA reproduction matched the paper’s reported figures, tables, and numerical claims by producing a single portable HTML comparison.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Side-by-side visual comparison: Places paper reference artifacts from work/reference on the left and reproduced results from results/<universe> on the right, flagging missing counterparts.
• Scope-aware matching: Uses comparison-report.yaml or targets/targets.md when available, otherwise builds a best-effort inventory from astra.yaml and work/reference artifacts.
• Static, non-computational value checking: Displays paper vs. project values and performs only a simple ±1σ tolerance status check without re-deriving numbers.
• Portable, self-contained output: Embeds images as base64 (PDFs rasterized to PNG) and writes a single HTML file to .lightcone/comparison.html for easy sharing.

Quick Start

Run the skill from the project folder that contains astra.yaml and point it at the paper reference directory by telling the assistant the argument path, e.g. the folder that contains work/reference/.
