Unify claims, evidence, layout, venue formats, and talk narrative into deliverable research visuals.
Before you start
Choose your system and agent, then run the command in your terminal. After installation, send the prompts below to your agent.

--registry https://paperskills.com/api/registryStep 1 · cs.figure-composer
Task for your agent
Use figure-composer to derive a multi-panel outline from the claim and data sources, listing each panel's evidence job, label budget, and failure risks.Expected outputs
Step 2 · sa.scientific-visualization
Task for your agent
Use scientific-visualization to generate multi-panel plots with colorblind-safe palettes, error bars, significance markers, PDF/SVG/TIFF export, and post-render QA.Expected outputs
Step 3 · sa.scientific-slides
Task for your agent
Use scientific-slides or latex-posters to turn the manuscript narrative into slides or a poster, controlling pacing, figure selection, and layout readability.Expected outputs
Meta-skill for publication-ready figures. Use when creating journal submission figures requiring multi-panel layouts, significance annotations, error bars, colorblind-safe palettes, and specific journal formatting (Nature, Science, Cell). Orchestrates matplotlib/seaborn/plotly with publication styles. For quick exploration use seaborn or plotly directly.
View skillCompose one publication-grade multi-panel figure. Entry from a one-line claim + data refs, OR from an existing figure via `derive_outline(png)`. Runs a per-figure loop: outline (12-col grid, per-panel ask + label_budget) → fan-out one sub-agent per panel (each loads `figure-style`) → tile + stamp letters → adversarial composite review with two-tier feedback (Tier-1 outline_revisions / Tier-2 per-panel violations) → regen affected panels, ≤3 rounds. Loads panel_task / compose_figure / compose_crops / composite_review_task / derive_outline into the kernel. For one standalone plot use `figure-style`; for whole-paper figure ordering use `paper-narrative`.
View skillCreate publication-quality scientific diagrams using Nano Banana 2 AI with smart iterative refinement. Uses Gemini 3.1 Pro Preview for quality review. Only regenerates if quality is below threshold for your document type. Specialized in neural network architectures, system diagrams, flowcharts, biological pathways, and complex scientific visualizations.
View skillBuild slide decks and presentations for research talks. Use this for making PowerPoint slides, conference presentations, seminar talks, research presentations, thesis defense slides, or any scientific talk. Provides slide structure, design templates, timing guidance, and visual validation. Works with PowerPoint and LaTeX Beamer.
View skillCreate professional research posters in LaTeX using beamerposter, tikzposter, or baposter. Support for conference presentations, academic posters, and scientific communication. Includes layout design, color schemes, multi-column formats, figure integration, and poster-specific best practices for visual communication.
