Use when creating, redesigning, planning, or visually auditing scientific figures, flowcharts, method schematics or model-architecture diagrams, graphical abstracts, dense many-panel compound figures, domain-specific omics visualizations, and conference or journal figure sets, including Nature-style main, Extended Data, and Supplementary figures. Independently owns visual construction, figure legends, source-data preparation, and visual QA; does not rewrite the scientific analysis or…
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
# Build Scientific Visualizations Turn scientific evidence into a legible visual argument. Choose one mode, lock the claim and source-data boundary, prove the whole-page hierarchy, then build from a canonical scene and inspect the rendered artifact at final size. This directory is independently complete. No other skill is required: read the user's scientific sources and current venue or funding-call instructions directly, build the visual and its legend, and deliver source data, editable source and checked exports. Another writing or workflow skill may supply that context, but is an optional collaborator. Do not let absent companion skills prevent source-grounded preparation or rendering. ## Select one mode For an isolated scientific icon, model emblem, or reusable set of schematic assets, use the [standalone asset workflow](references/scientific-emblems-and-assets.md). This is a local subtask, not another final-figure mode: do not initialize a full page contract just to export an icon. Preserve the requested format and background, and check the actual delivered files. Once assets enter a scientific figure, the figure's …

How to install
mdr add gxcaesar/open-research-skills/build-scientific-visualizations@sha256:82778b5806efa56aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260915.f147274, 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.
