SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Academic manuscripts often suffer from bloated sentences, AI-sounding phrasing, exaggerated claims, and structural logic that does not match Nature-family journal expectations. This Skill rewrites, restructures, or translates drafts into concise Nature-leaning English while preserving the author's facts, evidence boundaries, terminology, and citation intent. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Section-aware polishing: Routes each request through a manifest that loads only the relevant fragments for paper type, section (abstract, introduction, results, discussion, conclusion, title, methods), language, and target journal (Nature, Nature Communications, Nature Machine Intelligence, or generic). - Chinese-to-English translation: Reconstructs logic from Chinese drafts before rendering submission-ready English, restoring elided connectives and calibrating hedging. - Results discipline and consistency sweeps: Audits main-text necessity, allocates evidence across main text, captions, and Supplementary Information, and scans full manuscripts for terminology, unit, and claim drift. - LaTeX layout fixes: Diagnoses loose float pages, stranded headings, oversized figures, and sparse Supplementary Information via a dedicated typesetting reference. - Use Case: A researcher pastes a Chinese Results paragraph and asks for a conservative Nature-style English version; the Skill detects the axes, loads the research/results/zh-to-en fragments, and returns polished prose with revision notes and flagged risks. ## Quick Start Use the nature-polishing skill to rewrite this abstract into concise Nature-style English without changing any facts or citations.

Frequently Asked Questions about nature-polishing

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I polish an academic paragraph into Nature-style English?▼

Provide the source text, target section, paper type, and any terms or facts that must not change. The skill detects the relevant axes, loads matching guidance fragments, and returns polished prose with revision notes explaining structural and stylistic changes.

How to translate a Chinese research draft into submission-ready English?▼

The skill extracts core propositions from the Chinese text first, rebuilds explicit logical links such as contrast and cause, then applies English sentence and paragraph rules. Technical terms, dataset names, and statistical expressions are kept stable rather than paraphrased.

Does it support Nature Machine Intelligence word and figure limits?▼

Yes. It routes NMI separately to check the 3,500-word main text, 150-word abstract, six-display budget, code availability, and conference-extension disclosure, without applying flagship Nature limits that do not apply to NMI.

Can it fix LaTeX layout problems like sparse pages or oversized figures?▼

Yes. Layout requests bypass the prose axes and load a dedicated typesetting reference covering float glue alignment, [H] placement, clearpage usage, multi-panel stacking, and regenerating wide figures taller at the source, always verified by compiling and inspecting rendered pages.

What are the limitations of AI-assisted manuscript polishing?▼

The skill never invents results, mechanisms, statistical significance, or citations, and does not exaggerate novelty or causality. Structural problems that cannot be fixed without inventing content are flagged for the author instead of being papered over.
