Extracted from the tensor-formula-viz skill and rebuilt around the idea that the geometry rules should be enforced by construction rather than restated as prose an agent has to remember. - assets/supertensor.sty: faces, stacks, index faces, shared caption lanes, meaning box, signature. Macros take a declared axis and a declared role, so equal shapes get equal edges, a x a is square, a transpose swaps the face, and contracted axes share an edge length -- without any manual alignment. - scripts/preflight.sh: decide the TikZ/CJK path before drawing. - scripts/build.sh: compile and fail on silent corruption (missing CJK glyphs, overfull boxes, undeclared roles), then export pdf/svg/png/thumb. - scripts/test.sh: build every figure as a regression test for the package. - examples/: three golden figures (TP-FFN, causal MHA, MoE top-k gather) plus an anti-pattern gallery of figures that compile cleanly and still lie. - SKILL.md + references/: lean entry point, details loaded on demand.

Pre-delivery checklist
A clean build.sh proves only that TeX was happy. Nothing below is checked by the compiler.
Work through it against the rendered PNG. Any mandatory violation means redraw, not patch.
1. Math (before looking at the picture)
- Every shape recomputed independently from the source formula or code.
- Block multiplication, broadcasting, reductions and sharding algebra verified.
- Axis identities that the figure asserts actually hold in the numbers drawn
(
d = h·d_h,Σ_e n_e = T·k, shards summing to the parent).
2. Semantics ledger
- Every discrete or overloaded symbol has one type, domain and range.
- Score, index and mask are three distinct objects in three distinct grammars.
- Producer-to-consumer chain closed: scores → indices → gather/mask → values.
- Shared selectors drawn once, with the reuse axis marked.
3. Geometry ledger
- Equal shapes have identical faces everywhere.
a×ais square; every transpose physically swaps the face.- Both occurrences of each contracted axis have the same edge length.
- Shards tile their parent exactly; concat reverses split; elisions use an ellipsis.
4. Full-size visual audit
Open the PNG at 100 %.
- No forbidden intersection, tangency, clipping or occlusion — including stack offset sheets, brackets, arrow labels and the meaning box.
- Every connector's white label underlay covers only its own connector.
- No connector crosses a box that is not its endpoint.
- Symbols and shapes sit on two flat lanes per row; stage headings share a left rail.
- Top zone compact (≤2 formula lines, no shape underbraces).
- Bottom box: one column, ≤3 rows, no overflow, no shrunken type.
- Signature outside the box, one line, names what the figure actually shows, not clipped and not visually dominant.
- Structural support exact: known zeros unfilled, masks and diagonals exactly right.
5. Thumbnail audit
Open *-thumb.png (360 px).
- ≤4 active hue families per row plus gray; each role keeps one hue across stages.
- Base colors still muted, not saturated.
- Three visibly separated lightness levels where values vary; nothing is uniform pastel.
- Borders neutral, not tensor-colored.
- Dense texture reads as noise, not as stripes, checkerboard or a symmetric motif.
- The main structural claim of the figure is still legible at this size.
6. Delivery
- PNG preview shown.
- Short mechanism explanation in prose.
.texsource and vector artifact (PDF/SVG) linked.- Any degraded path stated explicitly — no CJK font, no
pdftocairo, fallback renderer, inferred shapes or conventions.
