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 text into citable claims, searching the right journals, verifying that each paper actually supports the claim, and formatting references for a citation manager. This Skill automates that pipeline while restricting results to Nature Portfolio, the Science family, and Cell Press journals. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Claim segmentation and search: Splits passages into stable claim units (S001, S002...), builds English search queries, and queries Crossref and PubMed with journal-scope and date filters. - Conservative support grading: Labels each candidate as strong, partial, background, limiting, or metadata-only support, and never cites a paper without checking its abstract or publisher page. - Reference-manager export: Exports RIS by default, plus ENW and Zotero RDF, with an author-integrity gate that blocks surname-only or incomplete author metadata and refetches records by PMID. - Use Case: Paste an introduction paragraph and ask for Nature-series citations from the last five years; receive a segment-to-reference mapping table, an interactive HTML browser for filtering candidates, and a Zotero- or EndNote-ready RIS file. ## Quick Start Use the nature-citation skill to split this manuscript paragraph into claims and find supporting Nature, Science, or Cell references, then export them as a RIS 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 CNS citations to a manuscript paragraph?▼

Provide the passage and the skill segments it into claim units, searches Crossref and PubMed restricted to Nature Portfolio, Science family, and Cell Press journals, and returns a segment-to-reference mapping with support grades and an export file.

How do I export citations to EndNote or Zotero?▼

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

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

Yes, use the flagship scope (--scope flagship) to limit results to Nature, Science, and Cell only. Other scopes cover Nature Portfolio, the Science family, Cell Press, or all CNS subjournals.

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

The script blocks export when any author lacks a family name or given name in structured metadata, preventing surname-only RIS records. Refetch the record by PMID from PubMed or verify against the publisher page to resolve it.

Does the skill guarantee a paper supports my claim?▼

No. Candidates are graded conservatively as strong, partial, background, limiting, or metadata-only support, and metadata-only candidates must be checked against the abstract or publisher page before citing.
