Generate publication-quality matplotlib figures by selecting a pre-built paper style and substituting user data.

  • : user provides data (numbers
  • SKILL.md covers Available Styles, Workflow, Data Substitution Tips and Detailed Style Parameters
  • Runs Python scripts from its folder
  • CSV) and wants a chart in a specific academic style

What it does

Plot From Data is an agent skill from Trae1ounG/paper-plot-skills. Generate publication-quality matplotlib figures by selecting a pre-built paper style and substituting user data. Use when: user provides data (numbers, arrays, or CSV) and wants a chart in a specific academic style; user asks to "plot this data", "make a bar chart", "draw a radar chart", "用这个风格画图", "把我的数据画出来"; or user selects a style name from the style catalog (barpaireddelta, bargroupedhatch, lineconfidenceband, linetrainingcurve, linelosswithinset, scattertsnecluster, scatterbrokenaxis, radardualseries).

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 20 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/bar_grouped_hatch.md` and `references/bar_paired_delta.md`).

It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data visualization. It works with Matplotlib. The repository describes itself as: Top-Conference Paper Figure Reproduction & Plotting Skills | 顶会论文图表复现绘制Skills.

When your agent uses it

  • : user provides data (numbers
  • CSV) and wants a chart in a specific academic style
  • User asks to plot this data
  • Make a bar chart

Example prompts

  • “plot this data”
  • “make a bar chart”
  • “draw a radar chart”
  • “/plot-from-data”

Requirements

  • Python 3

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cde5e84. 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 8 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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

Plot From Data loads about 583 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 127 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~136
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~583
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.5k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 127 words (~583 tokens).

“Generate a paper-quality figure by picking a style template and filling it with user data. All outputs are dpi=300 PNG.”
