Runs end-stage QA on a finished figure and table set. Checks callouts, numbering, and cross-references, whether numbers in the text match the exhibits, self-contained captions and statistical notes, accessibility and production quality, and links to the SI and replication package. Values that could only be read off an image are marked for author verification rather than estimated. Use when preparing a submission. Design guidance during drafting belongs to figures and tables.
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 and Table Auditor The end-stage auditor for a stable figure and table set, run before submission. Design and production guidance during drafting lives in `figures` and `tables`. When a claim depends on values plotted in an image, check it against the source data, or mark it for author verification; do not estimate values by eye. Adapted for open-science social-science manuscripts from figure, table, and citation-compliance ideas in Cheng-I Wu's *Academic Research Skills for Claude Code* (CC BY-NC 4.0). ## Instructions ### 1. Orient before auditing Identify: - Manuscript source and compiled output, if any. - Figure directory, table files, appendix/SI files, and build command. - Target journal or style guide. - Whether figures are generated from code, manually edited, or exported from software. - Whether source data for figures/tables are available. If only a PDF is available, state that cross-reference and value checks are lower confidence. ### 2. Inventory figures and tables Build an inventory with: - Figure/table number or label. - File path or source location. - Caption/title. - First in-text callout. - Appendix/SI location if applicable. …

How to install
mdr add scdenney/open-science-skills/figure-table-audit@sha256:a955bba770525a8bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.dee0bc5, 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.
