使用场景

实战用法： thesis-figure-skill

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

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

何时使用： You wrote the paragraph, but the reviewer would really appreciate a figure here.

步骤

Paste the paragraph

Paragraph: <text about system architecture>. Generate a TikZ figure that illustrates the architecture.✓ 已复制

→ Diagram type picked + TikZ code
Compile and preview

Save the code to fig.tex and compile — show me the PDF path.✓ 已复制

→ PDF produced
Iterate

Shrink the node widths and make the arrows straight, not curved.✓ 已复制

→ Revised TikZ, compiles cleanly

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

注意事项

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

搭配使用： filesystem

Turn a CSV into a pgfplots chart for your paper

👤 Researchers with experimental results ⏱ ~25 min intermediate

何时使用： You have results in CSV and want paper-quality plots, not matplotlib screenshots.

步骤

Feed the CSV

Here's results.csv. Make a pgfplots line chart comparing methods A/B/C on x=batch_size, y=accuracy.✓ 已复制

→ pgfplots code + legend
Tweak

Add error bars (std dev from results_std.csv) and log-scale the x-axis.✓ 已复制

→ Updated code with error bars

结果： A publication-grade plot that scales cleanly.

注意事项

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

组合

与其他 MCP 搭配，撬动十倍杠杆

thesis-figure-skill + csv-data-summarizer-claude-skill

Profile the CSV first, then generate plots that reflect its actual shape

Summarize results.csv, then produce pgfplots charts that visualize the findings.✓ 已复制

thesis-figure-skill + filesystem

Save figures alongside your paper source

Place every generated figure in paper/figures/.✓ 已复制

工具

此 MCP 暴露的能力

工具	输入参数	何时调用
diagram-type-inference	paragraph / concept	Start
tikz-authoring	figure spec	Architectural / schematic diagrams
pgfplots-authoring	CSV + axes spec	Data-driven plots
iterate	previous figure + change request	Revisions

成本与限制

运行它的成本

API 配额: none
每次调用 Token 数: ~2–8k per figure
费用: free
提示: Get one figure right first (style/size), then clone the pattern for siblings

安全

权限、密钥、影响范围

凭据存储： none

数据出站： none — everything is local TeX

故障排查

常见错误与修复

pdflatex errors on pgfplots

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

验证： 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}{!}{...}
