PNAS figure preparation: resolution (300-1000 PPI), formats (TIFF/EPS/PDF), strict RGB-only color, Arial/Helvetica fonts, italicized uppercase panel labels, automated image screening.
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
# PNAS Figure Preparation Guide
## Overview
This guide provides the complete specifications for preparing figures for submission to **PNAS** (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). PNAS is notable for its **strict RGB-only policy** (CMYK submissions are returned), **italicized uppercase panel labels**, and **automated image screening software**.

## Resolution Requirements
| Image Type | Minimum Resolution | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Halftones (color/grayscale photos) | **300 PPI** | At publication size |
| Combination artwork (MS Office) | **600-900 DPI** | Mixed text and images |
| Line art (bitmap text/thin lines) | **1,000 PPI** | At publication size |
| LaTeX figures | — | High-quality PDF or EPS |
```python
from PIL import Image
def check_pnas_resolution(image_path, image_type='halftone'):
"""Check if image meets PNAS resolution requirements.
Args:
image_type: 'halftone' (300), 'combination' (600), or 'lineart' (1000)
"""
min_ppi = {'halftone': 300, 'combination': 600, 'lineart': 1000}
required = min_ppi.get(image_type, 300)

How to install
mdr add jaechang-hits/sciagent-skills/pnas-figure-guide@sha256:4a7089e4e6ae842dThe 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.
