SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Academic papers need figures and tables that faithfully reflect experimental results, but hand-built charts often hardcode values, mix incompatible comparisons, or lack reproducible sources. This Skill creates evidence-bounded figures, tables, and diagrams directly from authoritative result artifacts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Evidence-backed plots and tables: Reads raw JSON, JSONL, CSV, or TSV result files so every plotted value traces back to real data, never prose or hardcoded arrays. - Editable diagrams: Produces SVG or TikZ architecture and workflow diagrams using a deterministic renderer instead of generated illustrations. - Rendered visual verification: Inspects each exported PDF, SVG, or raster output for legibility, clipping, caption agreement, and a three-second takeaway test. - Use Case: After finishing an experiment sweep, ask for a multi-panel comparison figure; the Skill reads the canonical result files, drafts a takeaway sentence, generates the plot with its source script under paper/figures/source/, and verifies the rendered output. ## Quick Start Use the paper-figure skill to generate a comparison figure and results table from my experiment result files according to paper/PAPER_PLAN.md.

Frequently Asked Questions about paper-figure

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create reproducible figures for a research paper?▼

Generate each figure from raw result files such as JSON, JSONL, CSV, or TSV rather than copying values from prose. Keep the generation script or editable specification next to the output under paper/figures/source/ so the figure can be regenerated.

How to make architecture diagrams for academic papers?▼

Create an editable SVG or TikZ source for architecture and workflow diagrams instead of using generated illustrations. Include only boxes and arrows that support the diagram's single takeaway, and export vector output when possible.

Can I hardcode experiment results into a plotting script?▼

No. Figures and tables must read values directly from the project's canonical result files. Hardcoding result arrays breaks reproducibility and risks divergence between the paper and the actual experimental evidence.

What should I check before finalizing a paper figure?▼

Open the rendered PDF, SVG, or raster output at its intended paper size and run a three-second takeaway test. Then verify legibility, clipping, legend overlap, units, grayscale accessibility, caption agreement, and consistency with every plotted row.

When should a figure be split into multiple panels or assets?▼

Split an asset only when it tries to communicate two independent claim-bearing conclusions. Otherwise keep the central takeaway and remove secondary material that does not support it.
