Build copy-ready prompts for explanatory figures such as overviews, architectures, mechanisms, workflows, timelines, and conceptual illustrations from source text, figure ideas, reference figures, or rough drafts. Use when Codex needs to decide whether a section needs an explanatory figure, distill the figure's core message and required visual elements, select a small number of structural or style donors from a reference bank, draft a model-neutral prompt pack for image-generation models…

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 Prompt Builder

## Overview

Use this skill when the user wants help with nontrivial figures beyond a simple
placeholder.

This skill is not limited to NSF proposals. Treat the surrounding task context
as the constraint:

- proposals
- papers
- slides
- posters
- reports
- technical docs
- websites or demos when the figure is the main artifact

This skill is mainly for explanatory figures rather than publication result
plots. Its strongest cases are:

- system or project overviews
- workflow and task pipelines
- local mechanism or subsystem diagrams
- method composites and scientific schematics
- timelines or work plans
- conceptual illustrations or theory cues

This skill is for prompt-building workflow, not for high-level writing framing:

- adjacent writing skills can decide whether a section needs a figure
- `figure-prompt-builder` turns that need into a concise figure brief,
  downstream prompt pack, and limited follow-up guidance

Use it when the user asks for work such as:

- what figure should support this intro or thrust
- create a figure brief, caption, and downstream prompt pack
- generate a model-neutral prompt for Gemini, Claude, ChatGPT image tools,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yzhao062/agent-config/figure-prompt-builder@sha256:26c95241bc9cc6ed

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.1d85de7, 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.
