SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Turning raw claims, figures, results, and Chinese lab notes into a coherent Nature-style manuscript or a complete first-submission package is slow and error-prone. This Skill structures that work: it rebuilds section logic rather than only polishing sentences, allocates evidence across main text, captions, Methods, and Supplementary Information, and prepares cover letters, title pages, highlights, and declarations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Section drafting and restructuring: Builds abstracts, introductions, results narratives, discussions, conclusions, and titles using a claim-evidence chain, with journal-specific guidance for Nature, Nature Communications, Nature Machine Intelligence, and other Nature Portfolio titles. - Results allocation and compression: Classifies each result by function (core discovery, support, robustness, edge case) and decides what belongs in main text versus SI, compressing to the shortest sufficient evidence chain. - First-submission packages: Produces cover letters, title pages, highlights, author contributions, availability statements, reviewer suggestions, and a readiness audit with a ready / ready_with_author_checks / blocked status. - Use Case: A researcher pastes Chinese experimental notes and figure summaries, then asks for an English Results narrative plus a Nature Machine Intelligence submission package; the Skill loads the matching fragments and drafts both. ## Quick Start Use the nature-writing skill to draft a Nature-style abstract and introduction from these figures and result notes, then prepare the initial cover letter and submission checklist.

Frequently Asked Questions about nature-writing

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I write a Nature-style abstract from my results?▼

Provide your core claim, key figures, and results, and the Skill compresses them into a shortest evidence chain: exact gap, answer-enabling design, one main discovery, one or two decisive supports, and a bounded payoff. Numbers are kept only when they define or materially support the central claim.

How to convert Chinese research notes into an English manuscript section?▼

The Skill detects Chinese or mixed Chinese-English input and applies a zh-to-en workflow that translates intent rather than syntax. Notes are split into claim, evidence, condition, and implication, then reordered into Nature-style English paragraphs with tense and plural repairs.

What goes in main text versus Supplementary Information in a Results section?▼

Each result is classified by function: core discovery, necessary support, robustness, heterogeneity, provenance, or edge case. Core discoveries stay in main text, while supporting and robustness evidence moves to captions, Methods, source data, or SI, producing the shortest sufficient evidence chain.

Does it support Nature Machine Intelligence submission requirements?▼

Yes, it applies a dedicated NMI contract covering Article and Analysis word limits, the six-display cap, the required cover letter, up to ten Extended Data items, conference-paper extension rules, and data and central-code review access. Flagship Nature and Nature Communications have their own journal fragments.

When should I not use this skill for manuscript work?▼

Do not use it for sentence-level polishing of an existing English draft, for literature search to support claims, or for revision correspondence. Those belong to polishing, citation, and response skills respectively; this Skill handles drafting, restructuring, and first submission only.

Can it invent missing results or references to complete a draft?▼

No. The Skill never fabricates experimental results, statistical significance, mechanism explanations, or references. When essential evidence or boundaries are missing, it inserts a placeholder and lists the gap under assumptions or missing inputs for author confirmation.
