What it does
Create, edit, or plan figures in Stencila Markdown, simple image figures, executable code figures, multi-panel subfigure layouts with grid arrangements, and SVG annotation overlays using overlay components. Use when asked to add or revise a figure, chart, plot, caption, subfigure grid, panel layout, overlay annotation, callout, scale bar, arrow, region-of-interest highlight, or figure design plan for a Stencila document.
Overview
Create, edit, or plan figures in Stencila Markdown (.smd) documents. Figures wrap images or executable output with captions, auto-numbered labels, cross-references, multi-panel grid layouts, and SVG annotation overlays.
If the user asks for strategy, options, or a figure specification rather than immediate file edits, provide a plan that covers the recommended figure structure, layout, caption approach, overlay strategy, and any missing inputs. Do not imply that implementation has already happened.
