This skill should be used when the user asks for a publication-quality scientific figure or table, wants help choosing the right chart for results, needs a paper-ready pubfig or pubtab workflow, wants a figure + companion table for a results section, wants an Excel sheet turned into publication-ready LaTeX, or wants an existing scientific figure/table reviewed and upgraded.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'publication-chart-skill' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'publication-chart-skill' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named publication-chart-skill already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'd394fb599ed9e6ea2212a9e6daa864345fe97a26' -- 'skills/publication-chart-skill' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/publication-chart-skill' ~/.agents/skills/'publication-chart-skill' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'publication-chart-skill' ~/.claude/skills/'publication-chart-skill' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
