SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve? Adding defensible citations to manuscript claims is slow and error-prone: you must split text into citable claims, search the right journals, verify each paper actually supports the claim, and produce clean reference-manager files without broken author metadata. This Skill automates that pipeline while enforcing a strict Nature/Science/Cell journal scope. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Claim segmentation and mapping: Splits passages into stable claim units (S001, S002...) and maps each to candidate papers with support grades (strong, partial, background, limiting). - Strict journal scope: Restricts candidates to Nature Portfolio, the Science family, and Cell Press, or flagship-only (Nature, Science, Cell), via Crossref and PubMed searches. - Reference-manager export: Writes RIS (default), ENW, or Zotero RDF files, blocking export when author metadata is missing or surname-only, with an optional HTML browser for filtering and selecting references. - Use Case: Paste an introduction paragraph and ask for Nature-series citations from the last five years; receive a segment-to-reference table plus a Zotero-importable file. ## Quick Start Use the nature-citation skill to split this manuscript paragraph into claims, find supporting Nature/Science/Cell papers, and export the results as a RIS file.

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

Provide the passage and specify the journal scope such as Nature Portfolio, CNS and subjournals, or flagship-only. The skill segments the text into claims, searches Crossref and PubMed for candidates, and returns a segment-to-reference table with support grades and an export file.

How do I export citations to Zotero or EndNote?▼

The script exports RIS by default, which EndNote imports via the Reference Manager (RIS) option, and also supports ENW and Zotero RDF formats. Use the --format flag or a matching output file suffix to choose the format.

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

Yes, request flagship-only scope or pass --scope flagship to the script. This limits candidates to the three flagship journals and excludes all subjournals such as Nature Communications or Science Advances.

Why does the citation export fail with an author metadata error?▼

The exporter blocks records with missing, surname-only, or incomplete author lists to prevent broken EndNote imports. Refetch the record by PMID via PubMed or verify authors on the publisher page; --allow-incomplete-authors is an explicit override that keeps warnings.

What are the limitations of automated citation finding?▼

Candidate papers are support options, not guaranteed appropriate citations, and metadata-only candidates must be checked against the abstract or publisher page before citing. Blogs, press releases, and search snippets are never used as sole evidence.
