SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Adding defensible citations to a manuscript requires splitting dense passages into individual claims, searching for papers that genuinely support each claim, and formatting the results for a reference manager. Doing this by hand is slow and often produces citations that only loosely match the claim. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Claim segmentation: Splits long passages into stable citable units (S001, S002, ...) and converts each into English search queries. - Strict journal scope: Restricts candidates to Nature Portfolio, the AAAS Science family, and Cell Press titles, with a flagship-only mode for Nature, Science, and Cell. - Conservative support grading: Labels each candidate as strong, partial, background, limiting, or metadata-only so weak matches are never presented as support. - Reference-manager export: Writes one ENW, RIS, or Zotero RDF file, plus optional HTML/TSV/JSON review artifacts with year filters. - Use Case: Paste an introduction paragraph, restrict scope to CNS subjournals from the last five years, and receive a segment-to-citation mapping table plus a Zotero-importable RDF file. ## Quick Start Use the nature-citation skill to split this introduction paragraph into claims, find supporting Nature/Science/Cell family papers from the last five years, and export the results as a Zotero RDF file.

Frequently Asked Questions about nature-citation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add Nature or Science citations to a manuscript paragraph?▼

Paste the paragraph and the skill splits it into citable segments, searches Crossref for candidates within Nature Portfolio, Science family, and Cell Press journals, and returns a segment-to-citation mapping with support grades and an export file.

How to export citations to Zotero or EndNote from a literature search?▼

The bundled script exports one reference-manager file per run in ENW, RIS, or Zotero RDF format. EndNote imports RIS via the Reference Manager (RIS) option, and Zotero imports the RDF file directly.

Can I restrict citation search to only Nature, Science, and Cell flagship journals?▼

Yes, the flagship scope limits candidates to exactly Nature, Science, and Cell. Other scopes cover Nature Portfolio only, or all CNS flagship and subjournal titles, selectable via the script's --scope flag.

Does the citation search work for long manuscripts with many claims?▼

Yes, inputs with more than about 10 segments switch to a batched strategy using --batch-size or --max-segments. Each batch writes an incremental export, and results are merged and deduplicated by DOI at the end.

What are the limitations of automated citation candidate search?▼

Candidates found by metadata alone are labeled metadata-only and must be checked against the abstract or publisher page before citing. The skill never treats a title match as support and flags evidence mismatches explicitly.
