nature-reader

by Nature Skills

Build full-paper Chinese-English side-by-side, figure/table/equation-aware, source-grounded Markdown readers for journal or conference papers from PDF, DOI, arXiv, publisher HTML, or pasted text. Use whenever the user asks to translate or read a paper, make 中英文对照/原文对照/全文翻译解读, render equations instead of exposing raw LaTeX, extract figures or tables into the right positions, preserve figure/table placement near relevant prose, or keep exact source anchors for every block. This skill must not degrade into a summary-only output unless the user explicitly asks for a summary. Also trigger on general paper-reading and translation requests even without the word "Nature", such as reading/translating an academic paper, literature reading, understanding a paper, and Chinese phrasings like 读论文、精读论文、论文翻译、文献翻译、文献阅读、学术阅读、帮我读这篇文章、翻译这篇paper.

nature-statisticsAudit, revise, or draft manuscript statistical reporting for Nature / high-impact journal submissions. Use when the user asks to check statistical analysis sections, p values, confidence intervals, sample size, biological versus technical replicates, randomization, blinding, multiple-comparison correction, model assumptions, figure legends, Results statistics wording, reviewer comments about statistics, or Chinese academic drafts needing publication-ready Statistical analysis text. Also trigger on general paper-statistics requests such as 统计审查、统计分析小节、统计方法、p值、样本量、重复数、多重比较、置信区间、效应量、图注统计、审稿人统计意见.0 installs nature-dataPrepare, audit, or revise Nature-ready Data Availability statements, data repository plans, dataset citations, and FAIR metadata checklists for manuscripts. Use when the user asks about Nature data availability, research data sharing, repository selection, accession numbers, restricted or sensitive data, source data, supplementary datasets, DataCite-style dataset references, FAIR metadata for academic publication, or Chinese-to-English data availability wording for Chinese-speaking authors preparing Nature-family submissions. Also trigger on general academic-writing data needs even without the word "Nature", such as writing a data availability statement for any journal, code/data sharing sections, repository selection while writing a paper, and Chinese phrasings like 数据可用性声明、数据可用性、数据共享、代码可用性、学术写作数据声明、写数据声明、数据存放、数据仓库选择.0 installs nature-sharedInternal shared-reference support package for installed Nature Skills, including nature-writing, nature-polishing, nature-response, nature-reader, and nature-paper2ppt. Do not invoke it as a standalone user workflow. Load only the specific core or journal-format file requested by another Nature skill.0 installs nature-responseDraft, audit, or revise Nature-style revision correspondence packages: point-by-point reviewer-separated response letters, rebuttal letters, revision cover letters, LaTeX cover/response templates, and red-marked revised-manuscript excerpts. Keep mutually blind reviewers isolated so no reviewer-facing response reveals another reviewer's comments, numbering, recommendation, or author response. Prevent reviewer-driven manuscript accretion by preferring replacement, compression, or SI relocation over appending non-central defense prose. Use for reviewer comments, editor decision letters, pasted editorial emails, response drafts, cover letters, response to reviewers, rebuttal, 修回信, 返修邮件, 编辑邮件, 返修 cover letter, 审稿意见回复, 逐点回复, 大修回复, 小修回复, 回复审稿人, 修改稿回复, 写rebuttal, 回应审稿意见, 标红修改, or LaTeX 模板.0 installs nature-writingDraft, restructure, or plan Nature-style manuscript sections and initial-submission materials from author-provided claims, results, figures, notes, or Chinese drafts. Use for abstracts, introductions, related work, methods, Results or experiments, discussions, conclusions, titles, full manuscript arguments, and first-submission packages such as cover letters, title pages, highlights, author contributions, availability or declaration text, and reviewer suggestions. Also use to classify Results evidence, decide what belongs in main text, captions, Methods or source data, or Supplementary Information, compress Results to the shortest sufficient evidence chain, prevent revision accretion, and audit paragraph necessity or claim repetition. Trigger on drafting a paper or section, structuring a manuscript, academic writing, first submission, 投稿材料、首次投稿、投稿信、标题页、亮点、作者贡献、数据可用性声明、推荐审稿人.0 installs researchwriteProposal-first scientific writing pipeline, installed under the compatibility trigger researchwrite and the repository package name nature-proposal-writer. Use for composing, revising, or auditing research proposals, opening reports, research plans, and evidence-grounded scientific writing. Three modes (compose/revise/hybrid) with a four-layer QA pipeline. Enforces evidence-before-prose, argument-before-sections, and contracts-before-paragraphs.0 installs

nature-downloaderUse when a user needs lawful academic full text, CNKI institutional access, English OA retrieval, publisher API access, institutional browser fallback, or supporting information downloads.0 installs nature-literature-pipelineComplete automated literature discovery pipeline: multi-source search → six-dimension scoring → fine reading → formatted delivery → archival. Combines a configurable engine with daily cron-driven application layer. Works with Feishu, Telegram, or any messaging platform.0 installs nature-paper2pptBuild a complete Nature-style Chinese PPTX presentation from a scientific paper, preprint, PDF, article text, figure legends, or reading notes. Use for journal club, group meeting, thesis seminar, paper sharing, conference or defense decks, and Chinese requests such as 论文做PPT、论文汇报、组会PPT、文献汇报、学术汇报、做幻灯片、读书报告PPT. It classifies paper type, builds an evidence-led story, selects key figures, writes Chinese slide content and speaker notes, creates the actual .pptx, and runs corrective QA for complete figure crops, stable alignment, text overflow, and de-templated Chinese academic expression. Also trigger when improving weak paper-to-PPT output with cropped figures, loose alignment, obvious AI-style wording, or heavy manual rework.0 installs nature-polishingPolish, restructure, or translate academic prose into concise Nature-leaning English while preserving facts, evidence boundaries, terminology, and citation intent. Use for manuscript paragraphs, abstracts, introductions, Results, discussions, conclusions, titles, Methods, Chinese drafts, proofreading, language editing, and general academic or scientific writing. Also use to shorten bloated Results, allocate evidence across main text, captions, and Supplementary Information, prevent reviewer-driven revision accretion, reduce repeated statistics or claims, and apply paragraph-necessity checks. Covers LaTeX layout or typesetting fixes such as sparse pages, stranded headings, oversized or split figures, float errors, multi-panel arrangement, and sparse Supplementary Information via references/latex-layout.md. Trigger on 学术写作、科研写作、论文润色、SCI写作、英文论文润色、语言润色、润色、改写、学术英语、排版.0 installs nature-reviewerSimulate Nature-style or general pre-submission peer review from the referee perspective, not an author rebuttal. Use for reviewer reports, mock peer review, manuscript critique, novelty/significance/technical-soundness assessment, 审稿人视角评估, 模拟审稿, 预审, 投稿前自审, 审稿意见模拟, or 帮我审一下论文. Produce evidence-grounded Major Concerns, Minor Comments, and blocking flags. For multiple reviewers, keep every reviewer mutually blind in a separate context, freeze all reports before comparison, and create any synthesis only afterward as a separate editor/author-facing artifact.0 installs nature-citationAdd strict Nature/CNS citations to manuscript text by splitting long passages into citable segments, searching only accepted flagship and subjournal titles from Nature Portfolio, the AAAS Science family, and Cell Press, filtering by publication time range, and exporting one reference-manager-ready output by default. Use this skill whenever the user asks to input text and automatically get references, add citations to a paragraph/manuscript, find Nature-series or CNS support for statements, create text-to-reference correspondence, "分段引用", "自动给出引用", "Nature系列引用", "CNS及子刊", "支撑文献", "补引用", "找引用", or export EndNote/RIS/ENW/Zotero RDF. Also trigger on general academic-writing citation needs even without the word "Nature", such as adding references while writing a paper, finding sources/literature for a claim, building a reference list, citation/referencing for academic writing, and Chinese phrasings like 学术写作引用、写论文加引用、写paper找文献、加参考文献、配文献、引用文献、文献支撑.0 installs
