cc-figures-tables — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited cc-figures-tables (Agent Skill) and scored it 100/100 (green). The audit ran 55 deterministic rules across Security, Supply Chain, Maintenance, Transparency, and Community; it found 0 high-severity and 0 lower-severity findings. The full rule-by-rule trace and per-finding evidence are below. Free, methodology-open.

First recorded scan — no prior version to compare against.
The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
Each main figure should advance one step of the mechanistic argument and be readable on its own:
The signature Cancer Cell requirement: a representative image must be paired with quantification across biological replicates.
| Representative image | Required quantification |
|---|---|
| Western blot | Densitometry across n independent blots (normalized to loading) |
| IHC / IF micrograph | Scored / counted across multiple fields and tumors (e.g., QuPath) |
| Flow plot | Summary bar/dot plot of % or MFI across replicates |
| Tumor photo | Tumor volume/weight curves with n, stats |
| Migration/invasion image | Quantified across fields/replicates |
| Single-cell UMAP | Proportions / DE stats, not just a colored embedding |
Show data points (superplots) for small n; never imply quantity from one picture.
cc-reporting-standards.n, what one replicate is, the statistical test, the error-bar definition, and scale bars.Before: Figure 2C is a single Western blot showing MARK7 down and cleaved-PARP up after treatment, captioned "representative of independent experiments."
Why a Cancer Cell reviewer rejects it as evidence: one image cannot support a quantitative claim; the reader cannot see variance, n, or whether the effect is consistent.
After: Figure 2C keeps the representative blot but adds 2C′ — densitometry normalized to loading control across four independent lysates, plotted as a superplot (individual points + mean), with the test and exact p in the legend. The uncropped full-length blot with MW markers moves to Figure S2. Now the panel carries a claim, not an anecdote.
Read each figure left-to-right and ask whether it narrates one mechanistic step:
If a panel does not serve the figure's one-sentence title, move it to the supplement.
