Cas d'usage

Usages concrets : 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

Quand l'utiliser : You wrote the paragraph, but the reviewer would really appreciate a figure here.

Prérequis

LaTeX toolchain (TeX Live or MiKTeX) with tikz, pgfplots — brew install --cask mactex / apt install texlive-full
Skill cloned — git clone https://github.com/0xE1337/thesis-figure-skill ~/.claude/skills/thesis-figure-skill

Déroulement

Paste the paragraph

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

→ Diagram type picked + TikZ code
Compile and preview

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

→ PDF produced
Iterate

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

→ Revised TikZ, compiles cleanly

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

Pièges

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

Combiner avec : filesystem

Turn a CSV into a pgfplots chart for your paper

👤 Researchers with experimental results ⏱ ~25 min intermediate

Quand l'utiliser : You have results in CSV and want paper-quality plots, not matplotlib screenshots.

Déroulement

Feed the CSV

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

→ pgfplots code + legend
Tweak

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

→ Updated code with error bars

Résultat : A publication-grade plot that scales cleanly.

Pièges

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

Combiner avec : csv-data-summarizer-claude-skill

Combinaisons

Associez-le à d'autres MCPs pour un effet X10

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.✓ Copié

thesis-figure-skill + filesystem

Save figures alongside your paper source

Place every generated figure in paper/figures/.✓ Copié

Outils

Ce que ce MCP expose

Outil	Entrées	Quand appeler
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

Coût et limites

Coût d'exécution

Quota d'API: none
Tokens par appel: ~2–8k per figure
Monétaire: free
Astuce: Get one figure right first (style/size), then clone the pattern for siblings

Sécurité

Permissions, secrets, portée

Stockage des identifiants : none

Sortie de données : none — everything is local TeX

Dépannage

Erreurs courantes et correctifs

pdflatex errors on pgfplots

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

Vérifier : 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}{!}{...}

Alternatives

thesis-figure-skill vs autres

Alternative	Quand l'utiliser	Compromis
mermaid-skill	Diagrams for the web / Markdown, not papers	Different output medium
