What it does
Advmat Figures is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when designing or auditing figures for an Advanced Materials manuscript, including the lead figure, multi-panel characterization figures, and the Table-of-Contents graphic, where visual quality is a house expectation. Designs figure strategy; does not run the analysis or write prose.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. ｜ 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Auditing figures for an Advanced Materials manuscript
- Including the lead figure
- Multi-panel characterization figures
- The Table-of-Contents graphic

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
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
Advmat Figures loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 617 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Use when designing or auditing figures for an Advanced Materials manuscript, including the lead figure, multi-panel characterization figures, and the Table-of-Contents graphic, where visual quality is a house expectation. Designs figure strategy; does not run the analysis or write prose.
Advanced Materials Figures (advmat-figures)
When to trigger
- You have many candidate panels and need a coherent figure set
- Your lead figure does not convey the central advance at a glance
- Characterization panels are crowded, mislabeled, or unreadable at column width
- You have no Table-of-Contents (TOC) graphic, or it is an afterthought
- A coauthor wants to "add one more panel just in case"
Figure strategy for Adv. Mater.
Advanced Materials is a visually demanding journal — striking, cover-quality figures are a house expectation, and the journal actively selects work for cover art. But visual polish must serve the science. The hierarchy:
- Lead figure (Figure 1) — usually a schematic of the material/design concept plus the single most decisive piece of evidence. A reader skimming should grasp the advance from this figure and its caption alone.
- Characterization figures — each closes one link of the structure → property → function chain (e.g. one figure for structure by XRD/TEM, one for the property, one for the device + benchmarking).
- The TOC graphic — a small, self-explaining image plus a short blurb that sells the advance to a browsing reader; treat it as a designed object, not a cropped panel.
- Everything else — optimization sweeps, extra samples, raw traces → Supporting Information.
If a panel does not advance the central claim or one essential link, move it to the SI.
Multi-panel characterization figures
Materials figures are dense by nature; discipline keeps them readable:
| Principle | Practice |
|---|---|
| One figure, one link | Group panels that jointly prove one claim (e.g. all structure) |
| Reading order | Label (a),(b),(c) top-left to bottom-right; caption follows it |
| Scale bars, always | Every micrograph carries a scale bar in the image, not only the caption |
| Consistent color-coding | The same sample/condition keeps one color across all figures |
| Annotate the feature | Arrow/label the lattice fringe, peak, or interface that matters |
| Overlay, don't scatter | Show theory-vs-experiment or before-vs-after on shared axes |
Production standards (Wiley format)
- Design for the journal's two-column layout; check legibility at final printed width.
- Fonts, axis labels, and tick numbers legible at print size; keep a consistent typeface across figures.
- Vector formats for line art/schematics; high-resolution raster (meeting Wiley's DPI requirement) for micrographs — verify the current DPI/format spec.
- Color is free in Adv. Mater. (online and print), but keep palettes color-blind-safe and distinguishable in grayscale; never encode by color alone.
- Define every symbol, abbreviation, and unit in the caption; give micrographs their scale and technique.
- Match nomenclature and units to the main text; use SI units and consistent significant figures.
Show full SKILL.md (210 more words)Show less
The TOC graphic and cover art
- The TOC entry (graphic + short text) is a required, high-visibility asset — design it to communicate the advance to a non-specialist in one glance.
- If aiming for cover consideration, prepare a separate high-resolution cover image; do not repurpose a cramped data panel. Verify current cover-submission format and dimensions.
Checklist
- Figure 1 conveys the central advance (concept + decisive evidence) at a glance
- Each figure closes exactly one link of the structure → property → function chain
- Every micrograph has an in-image scale bar and names its technique
- Sample/condition color-coding is consistent across all figures
- Legible at two-column print width; consistent fonts and units
- Color-blind-safe and grayscale-distinguishable; not color-dependent
- A designed TOC graphic + blurb exists and sells the advance
- Non-essential panels/datasets moved to the SI
Anti-patterns
- A lead figure too dense to parse without the main text
- Micrographs with no scale bar, or scale bars only mentioned in the caption
- Ten-panel megafigures that bury the takeaway
- Inconsistent color-coding of the same sample across figures
- Color-only encoding that fails in grayscale or for color-blind readers
- A TOC graphic that is a cropped, unreadable data panel
Output format
【Figure count】N — each essential? yes / cut list

【Per-figure single chain-link】list
【Scale bars on all micrographs】yes / fix
【Consistent color-coding】yes / fix
【Color-blind / grayscale safe】yes / fix
【TOC graphic】designed + blurb? yes / fix
