Low-level plotting library for full customization. Use when you need fine-grained control over every plot element, creating novel plot types, or integrating with specific scientific workflows. Export to PNG/PDF/SVG for publication. For quick statistical plots use seaborn; for interactive plots use plotly; for publication-ready multi-panel figures with journal styling, use scientific-visualization.

Excellent matplotlib skill with comprehensive coverage of both pyplot and object-oriented interfaces. The SKILL.md is well-structured with clear workflows, best practices, and practical examples covering most common plotting scenarios. The description effectively guides agents on when to use this skill versus alternatives (seaborn, plotly). Task knowledge is strong with code examples for multiple plot types, styling, subplots, and export options. Structure is good - the main file provides thorough guidance while appropriately referencing additional detail files. Novelty score is moderate because matplotlib usage, while requiring knowledge of syntax and best practices, is relatively straightforward and well-documented publicly. A CLI agent could accomplish basic plotting independently, though this skill meaningfully reduces token cost for complex multi-panel figures and styling workflows. Minor improvement: could add more advanced topics like custom Artists or complex animations. Overall, this is a high-quality skill that would save significant tokens on scientific visualization tasks.
