nature-figure-guide from jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/nature-figure-guide@v1.0Pins v1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Nature figure preparation: resolution (300+ DPI), formats (AI/EPS/TIFF), RGB color, Helvetica/Arial fonts, lowercase panel labels, image integrity requirements.
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
# Nature Figure Preparation Guide
## Overview
This guide provides the complete specifications for preparing figures for submission to **Nature** and Nature Research journals. Following these guidelines ensures smooth processing and high-quality reproduction of your figures in both print and online formats.
**Official reference**: https://www.nature.com/nature/for-authors/formatting-guide
---
## Resolution Requirements
| Image Type | Minimum Resolution | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| All figures | 300 DPI | At maximum print size |
| Optimal quality | 450 DPI+ | Recommended for best online display |
| Online submission | 300 PPI max | To keep file sizes manageable |
**CRITICAL**: Do NOT artificially increase resolution (upsampling) in image editing software. This does not improve quality and may introduce artifacts.
### Verify Resolution with Python
```python
from PIL import Image
def check_nature_resolution(image_path):
"""Check if image meets Nature's resolution requirements."""
img = Image.open(image_path)
width_px, height_px = img.size
dpi = img.info.get('dpi', (72, 72))
print(f"Image: {image_path}")
print(f"Dimensions: {width_px} x {height_px} px")

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/nature-figure-guide@sha256:c7c0df67de12d9e8The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
