Eight more tangible published constructions
Replaced the eight user-retired entries with Mechanical Characters, Computational Caustics, reconfigurable photonic braids, RFdiffusion, Biomimetic 4D Printing, Diffusive Mechanical Machines, Generative Omnimatte, and Scutoids. The twelve retained references keep their image bytes unchanged. Twenty references and twenty-nine real published image assets remain, with no generated substitutes. Paired physical examples accompany the mechanical and optical construction diagrams.
Install once across supported local projects
git clone --branch v0.4.0 https://github.com/KumarNavish/MechanismFigures.git
cd MechanismFigures
python3 install.py --global --agents all
python3 install.py --doctorFor an existing managed installation: python3 install.py --global --agents all --update.
One canonical user skill, documented routes for eight local agent hosts, verified adapters, dry-run conflict detection, previous-version preservation, and journaled recovery. Global means the current user/machine across projects—not automatic installation into every web/mobile account, remote worker, or every message. No agents or paid model APIs are invoked and no unrelated global instructions are rewritten.
Clear agent navigation and distribution
START_HERE.md, separate install/host/maintainer documentation, llms.txt, a progressive skill index, explicit artifact contracts, and a portable plugin manifest/local marketplace package. The standalone skill ZIP and plugin ZIP are separate. GitHub publication and an installable plugin package do not assert universal directory listing or account-wide activation.
Evidence
110 regression tests pass locally and in GitHub Actions on Python 3.9/3.12. The 15 gallery and 30 motion browser checks pass locally; all twenty-nine source images decode. Both archives pass CRC and file-manifest hash verification. The actual local user-global update and doctor succeeded for the documented file routes; runtime activation in each agent was not tested by launching model runners.
The scoring rubric remains review policy, not a claim of universal scientific/aesthetic quality or cross-agent efficacy. All figures retain their original source-specific rights; the code's MIT license does not relicense them.
