Sci Figure

What it does

When your agent uses it

• User asks to extract figure
• Get figure from paper
• Supplementary Figure

Example prompts

• “extract figure”
• “截取文献图片”
• “get figure from paper”
• “/sci-figure”

Requirements

• Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 357766f. 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, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • pip
  • winget
  • apt
  • brew

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • pymupdf.readthedocs.io

  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

Sci Figure loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 117 tokens; SKILL.md has 514 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~117

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

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

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.

sci-figure

description

Extracts figures and sub-figures from academic PDF papers. Supports Fig/Figure, Scheme, Chart, Supplementary Figure, Extended Data Figure (Nature), and Chinese equivalents (图/方案/示意图/附图/补充图). Sub-figure label recognition supports (a)/(A)/a)/(i)/(1)/a. formats. High-quality PNG output at configurable DPI. Use when user asks to "extract figure", "截取文献图片", "提取子图", "get figure from paper", "Scheme", "方案图", "补充图", "Supplementary Figure", or "Extended Data".
