Build Figure Skill
Read docs/ai/workflows/build-figure.md and follow it as the canonical
workflow.
Typical triggers:
- "make a figure"
- "plot this time series"
- "export this for Word"
- "make the chart publication-quality"
Preferred deterministic command:
python tools/workflow.py build-figure --output results/figures
python tools/workflow.py build-figure-suite data/my_data.csv --style ft --narrative --output results/figures
- Use
build-figure-suite without --narrative only when the user wants generic chart coverage rather than a story-first suite.
If the workflow doc conflicts with older tool-specific instructions, the
shared workflow doc wins.
