bio-reporting-figure-export
Exports publication-ready figures in various formats with proper resolution, sizing, and typography. Use when preparing figures for journal submission, creating vector graphics for presentations, or ensuring consistent figure styling across analyses.
npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill figure-export --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
## Version Compatibility Reference examples tested with: ggplot2 3.5+, matplotlib 3.8+ Before using code patterns, verify installed versions match. If versions differ: - Python: `pip show <package>` then `help(module.function)` to check signatures - R: `packageVersion('<pkg>')` then `?function_name` to verify parameters If code throws ImportError, AttributeError, or TypeError, introspect the installed package and adapt the example to match the actual API rather than retrying. # Publication-Ready Figure Export **"Export figures for publication"** → Save plots as high-resolution PDF/SVG/TIFF with journal-required DPI and dimensions. - Python: `fig.savefig('fig.pdf', dpi=300, bbox_inches='tight')` - R: `ggsave('fig.pdf', width=7, height=5, units='in')` ## Python (matplotlib) ```python import matplotlib.pyplot as plt # Set publication defaults plt.rcParams.update({ 'font.size': 8, 'font.family': 'Arial', 'axes.linewidth': 0.5, 'lines.linewidth': 1, 'figure.dpi': 300 }) fig, ax = plt.subplots(figsize=(3.5, 3)) # Single column width # ... create plot ... # Save in multiple formats fig.savefig('figure1.pdf', bbox_inches='tight', dpi=300) fig.savefig('figure1.png', bbox_inches='tight', dpi

What does the bio-reporting-figure-export skill do?
Exports publication-ready figures in various formats with proper resolution, sizing, and typography. Use when preparing figures for journal submission, creating vector graphics for presentations, or ensuring consistent figure styling across analyses.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills --skill figure-export --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From BioTender-max/awesome-bio-agent-skills, a repository with 135 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
