What it does

Gcb Figures And Tables is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when building figures, tables, and the mandatory graphical abstract for a Global Change Biology (GCB) manuscript. GCB rewards mechanism-first, self-contained, accessible exhibits and requires a graphical abstract depicting the driver-to-response link. Guides exhibit design; it does not invent data.

Its SKILL.md is about 780 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: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

When your agent uses it

  • Building figures
  • The mandatory graphical abstract for a Global Change Biology (GCB) manuscript

Example prompts

  • “/gcb-figures-and-tables”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Mechanism-first main figures. Lead with the driver-response relationship; relegate site maps and
  2. Visible uncertainty. Confidence/credible ribbons, error bars, ensemble spread — uncertainty is
  3. A strong graphical abstract. One concise figure linking an environmental driver to a
  4. Self-contained exhibits. Each figure/table readable from its caption alone (units, n, sample,

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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

Gcb Figures And Tables loads about 777 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 291 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~777

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 291 words (~777 tokens).

“In GCB, exhibits carry the mechanism. The strongest papers show a clear driver → biological response relationship in the main figures, with uncertainty visible. GCB also requires a graphical abstract that depicts the mechanistic link (not a site map or…”
