Paste your paper text, get publication-ready LaTeX/TikZ diagrams — Claude picks the right figure type and draws it.

thesis-figure-skill is a Claude skill for researchers drowning in 'needs figure here' notes: paste a paragraph of your paper or describe the concept, and Claude returns LaTeX/TikZ code for a publication-ready figure (flow diagrams, system architectures, plots, schematic illustrations). Output compiles in any standard LaTeX toolchain.

How to generate a figure for a specific paragraph of your paper

👤 Grad students and researchers writing papers or theses ⏱ ~15 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: You wrote the paragraph, but the reviewer would really appreciate a figure here.

Ablauf
  1. Paste the paragraph
    Paragraph: <text about system architecture>. Generate a TikZ figure that illustrates the architecture.✓ Kopiert
    → Diagram type picked + TikZ code
  2. Compile and preview
    Save the code to fig.tex and compile — show me the PDF path.✓ Kopiert
    → PDF produced
  3. Iterate
    Shrink the node widths and make the arrows straight, not curved.✓ Kopiert
    → Revised TikZ, compiles cleanly

Ergebnis: A usable publication-quality figure in under 10 minutes.

Fallstricke
  • Overly decorated figures that scream 'AI made this' — Ask for minimal, academic-conservative style
  • Figure size fights the paper's column width — Specify target width (e.g., 0.9\linewidth) up front

Turn a CSV into a pgfplots chart for your paper

👤 Researchers with experimental results ⏱ ~25 min intermediate

Wann einsetzen: You have results in CSV and want paper-quality plots, not matplotlib screenshots.

Ablauf
  1. Feed the CSV
    Here's results.csv. Make a pgfplots line chart comparing methods A/B/C on x=batch_size, y=accuracy.✓ Kopiert
    → pgfplots code + legend
  2. Tweak
    Add error bars (std dev from results_std.csv) and log-scale the x-axis.✓ Kopiert
    → Updated code with error bars

Ergebnis: A publication-grade plot that scales cleanly.

Fallstricke
  • Too many colors / markers — Ask for a grayscale- and colorblind-safe palette

Fehlerbehebung

Häufige Fehler und Lösungen

pdflatex errors on pgfplots

Update pgfplots and ensure \usepackage{pgfplots}\pgfplotsset{compat=1.18} or similar.

Prüfen: kpsewhich pgfplots.sty
TikZ nodes overlap

Ask for named positioning using node distance and relative placements

Figure too big for column

Set scale= or wrap in resizebox{\linewidth}{!}{...}
