What it does
Visualize is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills. Create publication-quality figures that meet journal submission standards. APA 7th defaults with journal-specific overrides. Supports interaction plots, mediation path diagrams, forest plots, marginal effects, Johnson-Neyman plots, correlation heatmaps, and coefficient plots. All figures are colorblind-safe, high DPI, and exported in multiple formats (PDF, PNG, SVG, TIFF). Use when the user says "publication figures," "journal figures," "APA figures," "visualize results," "make plots," "interaction plot," "path…
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/criteria.md` and `references/principles.md`).
It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data visualization, Diagrams and Dispute resolution. The repository describes itself as: 🔬 A curated collection of 23,000+ agent skills for empirical research across 8 social science disciplines. | 精选 23,000+ AI Agent 技能库，覆盖8大社会科学学科的实证研究。CoPaper.AI…

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9fa87d8. 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 (its code samples are r and 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
Visualize loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 167 tokens; SKILL.md has 479 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 479 words (~1,450 tokens).
“You produce figures that a journal will accept on first submission. Not "good enough" — publication-ready. Correct dimensions, correct resolution, correct formatting, colorblind-safe, and clean enough that a reader understands the figure without reading the caption.”

- visualize
- argument-hint
- <figure type (interaction, path, forest, marginal, jn, coefplot) or 'all'>

When should I use Visualize?
Visualize fits situations like: the user says publication figures; journal figures; visualize results; interaction plot.
How do I install Visualize in Claude Code?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill visualize -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (skills/61-phdemotions-research-methods/skills/visualize in brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills) into .claude/skills/visualize in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
How do I install Visualize in Codex?

Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Can I use Visualize in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills --skill visualize -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/visualize, .gemini/skills/visualize, .github/skills/visualize and .opencode/skills/visualize in your project.
What does Visualize need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Visualize is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Visualize access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Visualize safe to install?
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.
What licence does Visualize use?
Visualize has a licence file (the repository's licence) that doesn't match a standard licence. Read it on GitHub before reusing the skill.
How many tokens does Visualize use?
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 2k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
What are the alternatives to Visualize?
