What it does
Plot From Image is an agent skill from Trae1ounG/paper-plot-skills. Reproduce any academic paper figure from an uploaded image using accumulated style experience. Use when: user uploads/attaches a paper figure and asks to reproduce or recreate it; user says "复现这个图", "reproduce this plot", "match this figure", "照着这个图画"; or user provides a paper figure PNG/screenshot and wants Python matplotlib code that generates it. Includes analysis workflow for font detection, color extraction, proportion matching, and mapping to 8 pre-built styles or creating a new style from scratch.
Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/reproduction_guide.md` and `scripts/classwise_iou_table.py`).
It sits in Data & Analytics, covering Data visualization. It works with Python and 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 uploads/attaches a paper figure and asks to reproduce
- User says 复现这个图
- Reproduce this plot
- Match this figure
Example prompts
- “reproduce this plot”
- “match this figure”
- “照着这个图画”
- “/plot-from-image”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Measure Proportions
- Match to Existing Style
- If No Match → Analyze From Scratch
- Build & Iterate
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 1 file 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 Image loads about 868 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 303 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); 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 303 words (~868 tokens).
“Reproduce a paper figure by analyzing the image and leveraging accumulated style knowledge.”
