latex-drawing-guideTikZ and PGFPlots techniques for publication-quality scientific figures
Latex Drawing Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins. TikZ and PGFPlots techniques for publication-quality scientific figures
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Documents & Office, covering LaTeX and Data visualization. It works with LaTeX. The repository describes itself as: 350+ academic research skills, MCP configs, and plugins for Research-Claw and AI agents. The licence is MIT.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bf44b3c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are latex).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.comtikz.devpgfplots.nettexample.netoverleaf.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Latex Drawing Guide loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 311 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.
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.

.claude/skills/latex-drawing-guide/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Publication-quality figures are a critical component of scientific papers. While external tools like matplotlib or Inkscape can produce good results, drawing figures directly in LaTeX using TikZ and PGFPlots offers unique advantages: figures share the same fonts and styling as the document, scale perfectly at any resolution, and remain fully version-controllable as plain text.
This guide draws from the awesome-latex-drawing repository (2,000+ stars), which provides 30+ complete examples of LaTeX-drawn figures covering Bayesian networks, neural network architectures, function plots, tensor diagrams, and machine learning frameworks. The techniques here apply broadly to any discipline that needs diagrams, flowcharts, or data plots embedded in LaTeX documents.
Learning TikZ has a steep initial curve, but the investment pays off substantially for researchers who publish frequently. Once you build a library of reusable components, creating new figures becomes fast and consistent.

TikZ and PGFPlots techniques for publication-quality scientific figures. Latex Drawing Guide is an agent skill from wentorai/research-plugins.
Latex Drawing Guide fits situations like: tasks that involve LaTeX; tasks that involve Data visualization.
Run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill latex-drawing-guide -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/writing/latex/latex-drawing-guide in wentorai/research-plugins) into .claude/skills/latex-drawing-guide in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill latex-drawing-guide -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/writing/latex/latex-drawing-guide in wentorai/research-plugins) into .agents/skills/latex-drawing-guide in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add wentorai/research-plugins --skill latex-drawing-guide -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/latex-drawing-guide, .gemini/skills/latex-drawing-guide, .github/skills/latex-drawing-guide and .opencode/skills/latex-drawing-guide in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Latex Drawing Guide is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md names 5 domains. As links in the text: github.com, tikz.dev, pgfplots.net, texample.net and overleaf.com. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Latex Drawing Guide is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
