figure-review

Featured

Audit a scientific figure for publication-readiness: colormaps, uncertainty, axis labels, caption completeness, and claim support. Panel-aware — judges one panel of a composite against what its shared caption and sibling panels supply, and raises a likely-deliberate choice as `by-design?` instead of a defect. Use this whenever the user shares or references a figure, plot, panel, or colorbar for a paper, report, or brief and wants it checked, reviewed, or made publication-ready — even if they just say "does this figure work?" or "review my plot." Emits a per-criterion report and archives it to .ai/reviews/; never silently rewrites plotting code.

Mark `cant-assess` for any criterion that requires input not provided. ## Scope — establish this before applying any criterion Determine each of the following from the inputs. **Standalone figure, or one panel of a composite?** Look for siblings before deciding — list the directory, and if plotting code is an input, check whether one script saves several panels. Signals: a panel-style filename (`fig2C.pdf`, `Fig_3B.pdf`); a sibling differing by one letter. A panel delegates its **legend and symbol definitions** to the composite; do not flag those. It does **not** reliably delegate **n or data source** — a composite caption routinely covers several panels without mapping which is which — so keep checking them. When the composite is not itself an input, mark delegated items `cant-assess`; never pass them silently. **Draft, or published?** Published means post-peer-review: apparent defects are far more likely to be considered choice...

figure-style

Publication-grade figure correctness and legibility rules. Load before drawing any plot and call `apply_figure_style()` — sets a role-mapped font-size ladder, outward ticks, frameless legends, and 300-dpi output. The skill is a checklist, not a house look: data fidelity (claim-titles tested against every row, excluded data never enters summaries), label economy (floor and ceiling), colour threading, chart-choice-by-data-shape, layout, and a render-then-verify QA loop (bbox collision + per-panel perceptual check). Ships helpers: focal_palette, bar_with_points, strip_with_median, end_of_line_labels, panel_letter, set_frame, panel_crops. For multi-panel figures load `figure-composer`; for whole-paper figure arc load `paper-narrative`.

figure-rhetoric

Evaluate whether figures and plots in a manuscript effectively communicate the claims they support. Audits chart-type fit, axis design, visual hierarchy, data density, caption interpretation, perceptual accuracy, and narrative arc across 8 dimensions. Triggers on: "do my figures work", "check my plots", "are my graphs clear", "figure audit", "do my figures support my claims", "visualization review", "figure rhetoric", "plot review", "chart critique", "visual argument check". Companion to manuscript-review §12 (legibility) and figure-table-quality (rendering).
