figure-style

1# Publication-Grade Figure Rules
2 
3_A checklist for correct, legible, internally-consistent scientific figures. This
4skill does not impose a visual house style — frame, font, and palette are
5parameters. Before plotting, follow the Notebook call below and invoke
6`apply_figure_style()`._

8## Open-Science Notebook call

10Every `notebook_execute` request whose `code` uses a function named in this skill
11includes this skill ID:
12 
13```json
14{ "kernelSkillIds": ["figure-style"], "code": "apply_figure_style()\n..." }
15```
16 
17`kernelSkillIds` contains the skill ID; function calls belong in `code`. This
18request is complete as written: call the named functions directly and do not add
19an import or discovery step.

23**Load trigger** (same rule as the system prompt's "Publication-grade plots"
24section): this skill is for **final-deliverable figures** — those shipping in a
25report, paper, or export, or saved as an artifact the user will keep — not for
26exploratory/intermediate plots (quick looks, EDA, sanity checks), which are
27drawn plainly without it. Once loaded, "every plot" below means every plot you
28render toward the deliverable.

30§1–§3, §8, and §9 are **correctness** — they apply to every plot, in every
31context, and have no aesthetic content. §4–§7 are **guidance** — defaults that
32produce a clean result but that a deliberate alternative can override
33(individual rules inside §4–§7 that state a factual/perceptual invariant — e.g.
