Scientific Visualization
Overview
Scientific visualization transforms data into clear, accurate figures for publication. Create journal-ready plots with multi-panel layouts, error bars, significance markers, and colorblind-safe palettes. Export as PDF/EPS/TIFF using matplotlib, seaborn, and plotly for manuscripts.
When to Use This Skill
This skill should be used when:
- Creating plots or visualizations for scientific manuscripts
- Preparing figures for journal submission (Nature, Science, Cell, PLOS, etc.)
- Ensuring figures are colorblind-friendly and accessible
- Making multi-panel figures with consistent styling
- Exporting figures at correct resolution and format
- Following specific publication guidelines
- Improving existing figures to meet publication standards
- Creating figures that need to work in both color and grayscale

planning-with-files
Implements Manus-style file-based planning to organize and track progress on complex tasks. Creates task_plan.md, findings.md, and progress.md. Use when asked to plan out, break down, or organize a multi-step project, research task, or any work requiring >5 tool calls. Supports automatic session recovery after /clear.
24writing-plans
Use when you have a spec or requirements for a multi-step task, before touching code
4writing-skills
Use when creating new skills, editing existing skills, or verifying skills work before deployment
4requesting-code-review
Use when completing tasks, implementing major features, or before merging to verify work meets requirements
4receiving-code-review
Use when receiving code review feedback, before implementing suggestions, especially if feedback seems unclear or technically questionable - requires technical rigor and verification, not performative agreement or blind implementation
4verification-before-completion
Use when about to claim work is complete, fixed, or passing, before committing or creating PRs - requires running verification commands and confirming output before making any success claims; evidence before assertions always
