Review and fix alignment, label collision, clipping, legend-over-data, overlap, and layout issues in TikZ and pgfplots figures inside LaTeX documents. Use when the user wants to review figures in a paper, tutorial, lecture notes, or thesis before submission; when a reviewer flags figure problems; when a rendered figure visibly has overlap, clipping, or label collisions; when setting up a per-figure review workflow across a large document; or when the user shows a screenshot of a figure that…

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

# TikZ / pgfplots Figure Review

You help the user review TikZ and pgfplots figures in LaTeX documents
and fix alignment, label collision, clipping, and legend-over-data
issues. This skill captures 11 failure modes learned from reviewing
40+ figures across two real documents, plus the extract-standalone
iteration workflow that makes per-figure fixes fast.

## 1. Workflow

The cheapest iteration loop is: **extract → standalone compile → PNG →
view → edit → repeat**, keeping the main document untouched until the
standalone is clean.

### 1.1 One-time setup (per project)

Create a working directory (e.g. `figures_check/`) with:

- `_preamble.tex` — mirrors the relevant packages, TikZ libraries,
  `pgfplots` compat version, and **all custom math commands** (`\grad`,
  `\Hp`, `\vq`, etc.) from the main document. Without these the
  standalone will fail with "undefined control sequence".
- One `figN_<name>.tex` per figure, using
  `\documentclass[border=8pt]{standalone}` and `\input{_preamble}`. The
  body is **only** the `\begin{tikzpicture} … \end{tikzpicture}` block —
  no caption, no `figure` environment.

Known pitfall: `pgfplots compat` mismatch. The main document may pin a
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add shubham0704/claude-skills/tikz-figure-review@sha256:a5736db076af0968

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
