Nature-Paper-Skills

In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.

• anti-defensive-writing

  Remove audit, defensive, self-critical, developer-facing and commitment writing from a manuscript, its Supplementary Information, figure legends, table notes, data and code statements and figure content, while keeping every number, definition, reproducibility fact, mandated statistical statement, null result and scope condition that sets a reported value. Audit voice is project process leaking in…

• citation-verifier

  Use when checking manuscript citations, bibliography hygiene, DOI or PMID completeness, placeholder references, or BibTeX consistency before submission or revision.

  skills/core/citation-verifier/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• claim-source-verification

  Use when a manuscript's claims need to be checked against the sources cited for them, when literature search results must be verified before they enter a draft, or when an agent or collaborator has proposed references that have not yet been adversarially reviewed. This is claim-to-evidence verification, not bibliography hygiene; for duplicate keys, DOI syntax, and metadata cleanup use citation-ve…

• data-availability

  Use when drafting, auditing, or revising Data Availability statements, repository plans, accession-number placement, source-data coverage, or restricted-data wording for journal submission or resubmission.

  skills/core/data-availability/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• draft-marker-discipline

  Use when a manuscript is being drafted across many sessions and needs auditable open-question tracking: in-source draft markers with distinct jobs, triage of open items by what would actually resolve each one, word counts that exclude draft apparatus, safe archival of superseded material, and assertion-guarded scripted edits. Load before doing a batch pass over TODO markers or before quoting a ma…

• figure-planner

  Use when designing, restructuring, or auditing manuscript figures and you need to define one main claim per figure, assign panel roles, align legends with the text, or decide what belongs in main figures versus supplement.

  skills/core/figure-planner/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• manuscript-optimizer

  Use when auditing, restructuring, or revising a research manuscript whose scientific question, claim hierarchy, evidence chain, section logic, figures, terminology, or prose may be unclear or out of sync. Apply before sentence-level polishing, especially for whole drafts, major revisions, resubmissions, overclaiming, experiment-by-experiment Results, inaccessible narratives, or manuscripts that n…

• paper-bootstrap

  Use when starting a new manuscript project or cleaning up an existing paper directory and you need a standard structure, active source files, project memory, and venue defaults before deeper writing begins.

• paper-workflow

  Entry point for any manuscript request that does not name a specific skill. Load this FIRST whenever the ask is general, then run the chain it prescribes. Covers optimize my paper, improve the manuscript, polish this draft, make this better, clean it up, help with my paper, review my writing, get this ready to submit, work on the paper, make it more direct, less defensive, cut the hedging, too ma…

• rebuttal-response

  Analyze, draft, revise, or audit scientific peer-review response letters and point-by-point rebuttals. Use for reviewer comments, response letters, rebuttals, revision summaries, quoted manuscript changes, replies that must align with a manuscript or Supplementary Information, and submission-ready checks of direct question-answer alignment, evidence, figures, tables, notes, panels, terminology, n…

• results-section-revision

  Use when revising a scientific manuscript Results section whose figures, evidence, and main claims are mostly fixed, but subsection flow, paragraph openings, reader guidance, and argumentative progression still feel abrupt, repetitive, or figure-by-figure.

  skills/core/results-section-revision/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• review-article-architecture

  Use when writing, restructuring, or auditing a Review, survey, or Perspective rather than a research article, especially a commissioned one written across many sessions. Covers the governing plan document, drift detection, single-definition thesis and field judgements, section-owns-figure allocation, display-item budgets, four-state status markers, and authorship-blank discipline. For research ar…

• scientific-prose-style

  Prose-quality rules for writing scientific manuscript text — abstract, introduction, results, discussion. The headline rule is a strict em-dash budget: the long dash (—) is overused and reads as a stylistic tic, so cap it and rewrite with commas, colons, parentheses, or a period. Also covers hedging, sentence rhythm, and paragraph openers. Load whenever drafting or revising manuscript prose (not…

• scientific-writing

  Use when writing or revising scientific manuscripts, abstracts, figures, or references for journal submission and you need full-paragraph prose, scientific structure, citation-style guidance, or reporting-guideline support.

  skills/core/scientific-writing/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• stats-reporting-audit

  Audit, revise, or draft manuscript statistical reporting for Nature / high-impact journal submissions. Use when the user asks to check statistical analysis sections, p values, confidence intervals, sample size, biological versus technical replicates, randomization, blinding, multiple-comparison correction, model assumptions, figure legends, Results statistics wording, reviewer comments about stat…

• submission-audit

  Use when a manuscript is close to submission or resubmission and you need a preflight audit for claim support, figure-panel coverage, legend sync, methods references, terminology stability, and venue-facing risks.

  skills/core/submission-audit/SKILL.md on GitHub (opens in a new tab)

• write-scientific-manuscript

  Diagnose and repair the clarity and logic of manuscript prose, journal-agnostic. Use when a passage is technically correct but hard to follow: buried topic sentences, missing logical bridges, ambiguous referents, abstract noun chains, overloaded sentences, incomplete comparisons with no stated dataset or metric or direction, scope qualifiers placed too far from the claim, and invented or inflated…

• figure-style

  Publication-grade figure correctness and legibility rules for final-deliverable figures — not every plot. Quick look or iterating on the analysis (EDA scatters, sanity-check histograms)? Plot plainly without this skill. Producing a figure that ships — report, paper, export, or kept artifact — load this skill first and call `apply_figure_style()` — sets a role-mapped font-size ladder, outward tick…

• nature-figure

  Submission-grade Nature/high-impact journal figure workflow for Python or R, plus optional OpenRouter GPT Image 2 manuscript schematic generation when the user explicitly asks for AI-generated graphical abstracts, concept schematics, mechanism diagrams, or paper schematic illustrations. Use whenever the user asks to create, revise, audit, or polish manuscript figures, multi-panel scientific plots…

• academic-presentations

  Create academic presentation slide decks and optionally demo videos from research papers. Use when the user asks to "make slides", "create a deck", "make a presentation", "demo video", "paper slides", "conference talk slides", or wants to turn a paper into a visual presentation. Covers slide generation, narration scripts, TTS audio, and video assembly.

• reference-audit-guide

  Verify that cited references actually exist and that their metadata matches, using the runnable scripts this skill ships for CrossRef, Semantic Scholar, arXiv, and PubMed. Use when the bibliography must be checked against live sources rather than inspected locally: detecting fabricated or hallucinated citations, confirming that DOIs resolve, and matching title, authors, venue, and year against th…

• paper-reviewer

  Referee-side skill for Nature Portfolio manuscripts, in four modes. Write a referee report: methodology, statistics, reporting standards, reproducibility, and data and code availability. Inventory a report you received: split it into every ask and sub-ask, in the referee's own words, own numbering, and own order, so that each one can be answered separately and nothing is missed. Grade a drafted r…
