Use when a paper needs publication-ready figures or a visual abstract. Makes ROC, forest, calibration, Kaplan-Meier and Bland-Altman plots, CONSORT/STARD/PRISMA flow diagrams, confusion matrices, pipeline diagrams and journal visual abstracts, checking the journal's AI-image policy first.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Make-Figures Skill

## Data Privacy Check

Before reading any data file, check whether it might contain Protected Health Information (PHI):

1. If `*_deidentified.*` files exist in the working directory, use those preferentially.
2. If only raw CSV/Excel files exist (no `*_deidentified.*` counterpart), ask the user, in their
   language, whether the data contains patient identifiers (names, national ID / RRN, contact
   details, etc.) and, if so, to de-identify it first with the `/deidentify` skill.
3. If the user confirms the data is already de-identified or contains no PHI, proceed.

## Reference Files

- **Figure specifications**: `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/figure_specs.md` — read it before
  generating any figure (journal dimensions, DPI, file formats, palettes, font sizes, panel
  layouts, caption format).
- **Figure style**: `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../analyze-stats/references/style/figure_style.mplstyle`

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aperivue/medsci-skills/make-figures@sha256:38fc08aee5775b15

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.5b44a65, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
