figure-style
Correctness and legibility checklist for publication figures, plus a matplotlib sidecar. Load before plotting anything and call `apply_figure_style()` (role-mapped font ladder, outward ticks, frameless legends, 300-dpi saves, CJK-safe fonts). Covers data fidelity, label budgets, axis/colour/type rules, chart choice by data shape, composition, and a mandatory render-then-inspect QA pass (bbox collisions + per-panel visual crops). Helpers: focal_palette, bar_with_points, strip_with_median, end_of_line_labels, panel_letter, set_frame, panel_crops. Multi-panel assembly lives in figure-composer; whole-paper figure ordering in paper-narrative.

What does the figure-style skill do?
Correctness and legibility checklist for publication figures, plus a matplotlib sidecar. Load before plotting anything and call `apply_figure_style()` (role-mapped font ladder, outward ticks, frameless legends, 300-dpi saves, CJK-safe fonts). Covers data fidelity, label budgets, axis/colour/type rules, chart choice by data shape, composition, and a mandatory render-then-inspect QA pass (bbox collisions + per-panel visual crops). Helpers: focal_palette, bar_with_points, strip_with_median, end_of_line_labels, panel_letter, set_frame, panel_crops. Multi-panel assembly lives in figure-composer; whole-paper figure ordering in paper-narrative. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.
How do I install the figure-style skill?
Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install wisp-science-figure-style` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/wisp-science-figure-style/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.
Which AI tools does figure-style work with?
figure-style runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.
Is the figure-style skill free?
Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.
How do I use figure-style after installing it?
In Claude Code, type `/wisp-science-figure-style` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.
Can I share the figure-style skill with my team?
Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
