academic-plotting SKILL.md skillA
academic-plotting from yichen-zju/claude-for-research is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add yichen-zju/claude-for-research/academic-plotting@v1.0.0Pins v1.0.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Generates publication-quality figures for ML papers from research context. Given a paper section or description, extracts system components and relationships to generate architecture diagrams via Gemini. Given experiment results or data, auto-selects chart type and generates data-driven figures via matplotlib/seaborn. Use when creating any figure for a conference paper.
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
# Academic Plotting for ML Papers Generate publication-quality figures for ML/AI conference papers. Two distinct workflows: 1. **Diagram figures** (architecture, system design, workflows, pipelines) — AI image generation via Gemini 2. **Data figures** (line charts, bar charts, scatter plots, heatmaps, ablations) — matplotlib/seaborn ## When to Use Which Workflow | Figure Type | Tool | Why | |-------------|------|-----| | Architecture / system diagram | Gemini (Workflow 1) | Complex spatial layouts with boxes, arrows, labels | | Workflow / pipeline / lifecycle | Gemini (Workflow 1) | Multi-step processes with connections | | Bar chart, line plot, scatter | matplotlib (Workflow 2) | Precise numerical data, reproducible | | Heatmap, confusion matrix | matplotlib/seaborn (Workflow 2) | Structured grid data | | Ablation table as chart | matplotlib (Workflow 2) | Grouped bars or line comparisons | | Pie / donut chart | matplotlib (Workflow 2) | Proportional data (use sparingly in ML papers) | | Training curves | matplotlib (Workflow 2) | Loss/accuracy over steps/epochs | …

How to install
mdr add yichen-zju/claude-for-research/academic-plotting@sha256:6613653d8109dcaeThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
