This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a figure", "make a scientific figure", "create a paper figure", "make a figure for my paper", "make a figure for my manuscript", "compose figure panels", "assemble figure panels", "combine figure panels", "make a multi-panel figure", "figure composition", "export a figure", "generate a PDF figure", "create a Nature-style figure", "make a journal figure", "make a publication figure", or "create a figure for my grant". The skill composes multi-panel figures at exact journal dimensions (Nature 89/183 mm, Science 55/120 mm, Cell 85/174 mm, PNAS 87/180 mm) using svgutils, validates font sizes against journal minima before export, and writes PDF/PNG via Inkscape when available or cairosvg otherwise.
