gec-figures-and-tables — independently scanned and version-tracked by SaferSkills.
SaferSkills independently audited gec-figures-and-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.

The primary manifest — the file an agent reads to learn what this artifact does.
GEC exhibits are read by people from many disciplines and by policy-oriented readers. An exhibit must stand on its own, communicate the human-dimensions point quickly, and survive print and grayscale. This skill also covers the journal's Highlights requirement.
from another field should grasp the point from the exhibit and caption alone.
governance outcome — not just a biophysical trend.
contribution; keep it uncluttered and consistent with the text's terms.
colorblind-safe schemes; avoid implying precision the data lack.

interdisciplinary, policy audience.
GEC exhibits face a reader who may not share your discipline, so the editor and referees test whether the human-dimensions point survives translation. These are the recurring objections.
| What a referee flags | Underlying problem | The GEC fix |
|---|---|---|
| "I cannot read this exhibit without the text" | Not self-contained | Put sample, unit, scale, and the social variable in the caption; make the point legible standalone |
| "The figure shows a biophysical trend, not the human story" | Foregrounds the wrong half | Plot the social driver, distribution, or governance outcome; relegate the raw biophysical series if needed |
| "The map implies precision the data lack" | Continuous shading on coarse units | Class the scheme, state the spatial unit, and use a colorblind-safe palette |
| "Highlights just restate the title" | Shop-window wasted | Each bullet carries a distinct novel result in plain language |
| "The framework diagram contradicts the text" | Terms drifted | Make every box and arrow use the manuscript's defined concepts |
