What it does
Figure Reference Checker is an agent skill from aipoch/medical-research-skills. Use figure reference checker for academic writing workflows that need structured execution, explicit assumptions, and clear output boundaries.
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `POLISH_CHANGELOG.md`, `eval_report_figure-reference-checker_result.json` and `references/audit-reference.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Scientific writing. The repository describes itself as: Hundreds of agent skills for medical research, including protocol design, data analysis, evidence insights, and academic writing. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Scientific writing
Example prompts
- “/figure-reference-checker”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Confirm the user objective, required inputs, and non-negotiable constraints before doing detailed work.
- Validate that the request matches the documented scope and stop early if the task would require unsupported assumptions.
- Use the packaged script path or the documented reasoning path with only the inputs that are actually available.
- Return a structured result that separates assumptions, deliverables, risks, and unresolved items.
- If execution fails or inputs are incomplete, switch to the fallback path and state exactly what blocked full completion.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 686e09d. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Figure Reference Checker loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 944 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Figure Reference Checker
Check consistency of figure references in manuscripts.
Quick Check
Use this command to verify that the packaged script entry point can be parsed before deeper execution.
python -m py_compile scripts/main.pyAudit-Ready Commands
Use these concrete commands for validation. They are intentionally self-contained and avoid placeholder paths.
python -m py_compile scripts/main.py
python scripts/main.py --helpWhen to Use
- Use this skill when the task needs Use figure reference checker for academic writing workflows that need structured execution, explicit assumptions, and clear output boundaries.
- Use this skill for academic writing tasks that require explicit assumptions, bounded scope, and a reproducible output format.
- Use this skill when you need a documented fallback path for missing inputs, execution errors, or partial evidence.
Workflow
- Confirm the user objective, required inputs, and non-negotiable constraints before doing detailed work.
- Validate that the request matches the documented scope and stop early if the task would require unsupported assumptions.
- Use the packaged script path or the documented reasoning path with only the inputs that are actually available.
- Return a structured result that separates assumptions, deliverables, risks, and unresolved items.
- If execution fails or inputs are incomplete, switch to the fallback path and state exactly what blocked full completion.
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Required | Description |

Prerequisites
No additional Python packages required.
Evaluation Criteria
Success Metrics
- Successfully executes main functionality
- Output meets quality standards
- Handles edge cases gracefully
- Performance is acceptable
Test Cases
- Basic Functionality: Standard input → Expected output
- Edge Case: Invalid input → Graceful error handling
- Performance: Large dataset → Acceptable processing time
Lifecycle Status
- Current Stage: Draft
- Next Review Date: 2026-03-06
- Known Issues: None
- Planned Improvements:
- Performance optimization
- Additional feature support
Output Requirements
Every final response should make these items explicit when they are relevant:
- Objective or requested deliverable
- Inputs used and assumptions introduced
- Workflow or decision path
- Core result, recommendation, or artifact
- Constraints, risks, caveats, or validation needs
- Unresolved items and next-step checks
Error Handling
- If required inputs are missing, state exactly which fields are missing and request only the minimum additional information.
- If the task goes outside the documented scope, stop instead of guessing or silently widening the assignment.
- If
scripts/main.pyfails, report the failure point, summarize what still can be completed safely, and provide a manual fallback. - Do not fabricate files, citations, data, search results, or execution outcomes.
Input Validation
This skill accepts requests that match the documented purpose of figure-reference-checker and include enough context to complete the workflow safely.
Do not continue the workflow when the request is out of scope, missing a critical input, or would require unsupported assumptions. Instead respond:
figure-reference-checkeronly handles its documented workflow. Please provide the missing required inputs or switch to a more suitable skill.

Response Template
Use the following fixed structure for non-trivial requests:
- Objective
- Inputs Received
- Assumptions
- Workflow
- Deliverable
- Risks and Limits
- Next Checks
If the request is simple, you may compress the structure, but still keep assumptions and limits explicit when they affect correctness.
When Not to Use
- Do not proceed when required input files, identifiers, parameters, or context are missing — ask the user to provide them first.
- Do not assume capabilities beyond this skill's declared scope when the user requests external operations or inferences.
- Do not proceed without user confirmation when overwriting existing results, executing high-cost batch operations, or expanding task scope.
Required Inputs
| Field | Required | Format/Source | Example | If Missing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| User task description | Yes | Text | Research question, writing goal, analysis objective | Stop and ask user to provide |
| Primary input material | Depends on task | Text, file path, ID, table, or literature | PMID, PDF, CSV, DOCX, keywords, etc. | Specify which material type is missing |
| Output preference | No | Text | Language, format, target journal, template | Use skill default format |
Output Contract
- Primary output: Structured result or target file aligned with this skill's objective.
- Optional output: Intermediate check notes, issue list, supplementary suggestions, or generated file paths.
- Format requirement: Unless the user specifies otherwise, prefer stable, reviewable Markdown or JSON; if the skill's bundled script requires a fixed format, use that format.
- If partially complete: Must explicitly mark as PARTIAL and state which steps are completed and which remain.
Failure Handling
- Missing critical input: Explicitly state which fields, files, or identifiers are missing and pause.
- Script, template, or resource execution failure: Report the failing step, likely cause, and recovery suggestions — do not silently degrade.
- Partial completion only: Return the verified portion first, then list remaining blockers and suggested next steps.
User Checkpoints
- Before executing batch processing, overwriting files, long-running searches, or multi-stage generation, confirm scope and output format with the user.
- Before proceeding when a key judgment is ambiguous, evidence is insufficient, or the workflow is entering the next stage, confirm with the user.
Quick Validation
- Check that key scripts, templates, or reference file paths this skill depends on exist.
- Check that the final output contains the core fields, sections, or files specified for this task.
- Check that results clearly mark assumptions, limitations, and incomplete items.
