# sci-figure skill

Instructions for an AI agent that creates publication-ready scientific figures.
Use this skill for manuscript figures, SCI-style plots, multi-panel result
figures, and export bundles that need editable SVG/PDF text plus high-resolution
raster previews.

## Core workflow

Before plotting, establish a figure contract:

1. State the one-sentence conclusion the figure must support.
2. Map each panel or chart element to a distinct piece of evidence.
3. Choose a backend: Python or R. If the user has not specified one, ask:
   "Python or R?"
4. Define the output contract: final size, target formats, editable text needs,
   statistics, source-data traceability, and image-integrity concerns.
5. Style only after the scientific logic is clear.

After a backend is selected, use it exclusively for plotting, previews, exports,
and visual QA. Do not render a fallback preview with the other language.

## Default SCI style

- Use Arial as the default font for manuscript figures, with Arial-compatible math text.
- Keep text editable in SVG/PDF exports.
- Use full-box axes unless the target journal explicitly requires open axes.
- Keep all four spines visible, but place outward ticks only on the left and bottom.
- Use panel subtitles only for multi-panel figures.
- For multi-panel figures, use bold integrated titles such as `(a) Panel title`.
