Apply scientific plotting and figure-quality rules to a single plot or panel. Use when drawing, cleaning, labeling, or reviewing plots for research artifacts.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Figure Style Use this skill before producing or revising any plot. Checklist: 1. Pick the chart type from the data shape and claim, not from decoration. 2. Label axes with units, define transformations, and show uncertainty or replicate structure when available. 3. Use color only for meaningful grouping; keep palettes accessible and consistent across panels. 4. Render the plot and inspect text, tick labels, legends, clipping, and overplotting before saving. 5. Save both the image and the code/data needed to regenerate it. A polished plot with unverifiable data is not acceptable. Preserve provenance first.

How to install
mdr add yichen-zju/claude-for-research/figure-style@sha256:b7aeeebfb2b157e2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.9f2a5e0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
