Matplotlib Chinese Font

PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.

Overview

This appears to be a straightforward Matplotlib font helper; the only notable action is an explicit cache-clearing step that deletes local Matplotlib cache files.

This skill is reasonable to use for Matplotlib Chinese font issues. Before running the cache-clearing command or script, understand that it deletes Matplotlib cache files; use the font-listing and test-image helpers first if you only need to inspect available fonts.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.

What this means

If run, it deletes files in Matplotlib's cache directory so the cache can be rebuilt; this may affect future Matplotlib sessions until caches are regenerated.

Why it was flagged

The helper removes Matplotlib's cache directory. This is disclosed and aligned with fixing font-cache issues, but it is still a local destructive operation.

cache_dir = matplotlib.get_cachedir(); ... shutil.rmtree(cache_dir)
Recommendation

Run the cache-clearing helper only when troubleshooting font problems, check the printed cache path first, and avoid storing custom files in that directory.
