Produce, style and audit submission-ready research figures once the chart type is settled. Use for Nature-family artwork, matplotlib styling, distributions, forest plots, compositions, fits, densities, timelines, matrices, Sankey flows, small multiples, maps, quadrant plots, chord diagrams and multi-panel assembly, or when a figure looks unprofessional or bare. Applies landed type sizes, 88/180 mm widths, semantic palettes, editable PDF/SVG plus PNG previews, standalone legends and a…
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 Production ## Client compatibility Use this skill in Claude Code or OpenAI Codex with the same workflow and resources. Resolve `assets/` and `references/` relative to this `SKILL.md`, not the user's working directory. Copy the needed plotting modules into the user's figure-code directory, or add the installed `assets/` directory to the script's import path. Run plotting scripts in the user's project and keep exports there. In Codex, invoke explicitly with `$nature-figure-production` or let the client select it. Reuse the data paths, chosen claim, filters, chart type and encoding plan already agreed with `chart-type-chooser` or in another client session. When the chart type is already fixed, use this skill directly. ## Overview Most figure advice stops at "use Arial and 300 dpi". That is not what gets a figure through production. Nature-branded journals impose a **physical** specification — column widths in millimetres, a landed type-size window, an editable-vector requirement, and a 50 MB per-file cap — and a **house style** that reviewers read as a signal of competence long before they read the data. …

How to install
mdr add alto-r/nature-figure-craft/nature-figure-production@sha256:e27379cad7eb44adThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.48824bb, 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.
