figure-maker

name	figure-maker
description	Publication-grade figures. Uses matplotlib to generate figures from a script (never hand-drawn, never pasted from an unknown source); each figure has a rerunnable script. Layer the global CCF-Figure skill for figure conventions / top-venue layout. Use to draw paper figures and iterate to publication quality.

figure-maker

Steps

1. Each figure = a script runs/<run>/outputs/fig_<name>.py that reads outputs/results.json or inputs/ data and saves outputs/fig_<name>.png (+ a vector .pdf).
2. Iterate by editing the script and rerunning, preserving "figure generated by code".
3. For top-venue figure prompts / paper-figure taxonomy, layer the global CCF-Figure skill (classify first, then draw).

Publication defaults

• dpi >= 300, vector preferred (PDF/SVG), font >= 7pt, colorblind-safe palette, error bars with stated meaning (SD/SEM/CI), n annotated.
• Caption states data source and statistical method.

Hard rules

• What the figure plots must match what the script computed (the reviewer checks figure=code). No Photoshop / hand-edited data points.
