SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Researchers spend hours translating raw data into publication-ready figures, chasing consistency, accessibility, and journal guidelines. This Skill streamlines figure creation, validation, and formatting for manuscripts, posters, and slides.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Publication readiness: guidelines, layouts, and recommended styles for multi-panel figures.
  • Quality and reproducibility: integrates with figure-generation workflows, supports DPI, fonts, color accessibility, and caption writing.
  • Use Case: A researcher needs to produce a 4-panel figure from experimental data with consistent styling and accessible color palette.

Quick Start

Use the scientific-figures skill to generate a publication-ready figure from your dataset, following the example scripts in analysis/scripts and saving outputs to analysis/figures.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate publication-ready figures from raw scientific data?

This Skill generates publication-ready figures from raw scientific data across Python and R environments. It supports histograms, box plots, Kaplan–Meier plots, and heatmaps while enforcing DPI, fonts, colorblind-safe palettes, and reproducible scripting for journal submissions.

Does this Skill support creating Kaplan–Meier plots with the lifelines package?

Yes, this Skill supports creating Kaplan–Meier plots using the lifelines package. It integrates end-to-end workflows for survival analysis visualization, ensuring the output meets publication standards for manuscripts and conference materials.

Can I use ggplot to create multi-panel figures for a manuscript?

Yes, you can use ggplot to create multi-panel figures for manuscripts. This Skill provides recommended styles, layouts, and templates for multi-panel figures, ensuring consistent styling and accessible color palettes across all panels.

What is the best way to ensure my scientific figures meet journal accessibility requirements?

The best way to ensure figures meet journal accessibility requirements is to use this Skill's built-in validation. It automatically enforces colorblind-safe palettes, appropriate DPI settings, and readable fonts, while providing captions and reproducible scripts to meet strict journal guidelines.

Do I need to format my data before generating publication-ready figures?

You need to provide raw scientific data in a format compatible with Python or R environments. This Skill handles the end-to-end workflow from data input to final figure output, applying necessary styling, layouts, and accessibility checks automatically.

How do I write reproducible scripts for scientific data visualization?

To write reproducible scripts for scientific data visualization, use the example scripts provided in the analysis/scripts directory. This Skill ensures reproducibility by integrating figure-generation workflows that enforce consistent fonts, DPI settings, and color accessibility standards.
