What it does
Nature Plants is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when targeting Nature Plants or deciding whether a plant-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the broad-significance and Nature-framing bar, evidence and reproducibility expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Reproducible research. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. ｜ 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Nature Plants loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 716 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Nature Plants (nature-plants)
Journal positioning
Nature Plants is the Nature Portfolio journal devoted to plant science in its full breadth — from molecular and cell biology through development, physiology, genetics, and evolution to ecology and crop science — including the plant-associated microbes and the agricultural and societal contexts in which plants matter. Its defining expectation is a significant advance with broad significance: a finding that changes how a wide plant-science readership thinks about a problem, not a clean but incremental result that extends one specialist literature. A technically sound, narrowly framed specialist paper with no broad significance is a poor fit, however careful the work. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Nature Plants submission guidance.
When to trigger
- The author names Nature Plants and wants a fit/framing check for a plant-science paper.
- A specialist molecular, physiological, or ecological plant result must be re-framed into a broad-significance, Nature-style narrative for a wide plant audience.
- The author is choosing between Nature Plants, a Nature Portfolio sibling, and a strong
specialist plant journal such as
the-plant-cellornew-phytologist. - The author needs Nature Plants' desk-reject heuristics and a credible alternative route.
Scope & topic fit
- Molecular and cellular plant biology — signaling, gene regulation, cell architecture — when the mechanism reframes a broadly held understanding.
- Plant development, physiology, and stress responses with conceptual reach beyond one pathway or species.
- Plant genetics, genomics, and evolution, including domestication and trait architecture with significance across taxa or systems.
- Plant ecology, plant–microbe and plant–environment interactions framed for cross-field relevance.
- Crop science and agricultural plant biology when the finding has implications wider than a single cultivar or trial.
- Methods and resources that open new questions for a broad plant-science community.
Method & evidence bar
- The central claim must carry broad plant-science significance, supported by evidence matched to the method (genetic, molecular, physiological, ecological, or computational).
- Mechanistic claims require convergent lines of evidence — genetics plus biochemistry plus cell biology where appropriate — not a single correlative assay.
- Genotype/phenotype and field/ecology claims need adequate replication, controls, and appropriate statistics; species and germplasm provenance must be documented.
- Genomic, transcriptomic, and structural data must follow community deposition standards; '-omics' claims need validation beyond list-generation.
- Data and code underlying the central result are expected per Nature reporting and data-availability policy, with a completed reporting summary.
Show full SKILL.md (326 more words)Show less
Structure & house style
- Nature Portfolio format: a significance-forward abstract and an introduction that frames the broad problem and gap; re-check current article types (Article, Letter, Resource, Perspective, etc.) on the live guide.
- Main display items must carry the broad-significance argument; specialist controls and extended datasets move to supplementary information.
- Methods are detailed and reproducible; the reporting summary, statistics reporting, and data/code statements are required per Nature policy.
- Framing should be legible to plant scientists outside the immediate subfield, not only to specialists in the exact system.
Official-submission checklist
- Before giving submission-ready advice, read
../../resources/source-basis.mdand../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the Nature Portfolio anchors, then cite the current Nature Plants page you checked. - Search the live site for "Nature Plants submission guidelines" and follow the current version.
- Re-check article types, abstract/format expectations, the reporting summary, and the data/code-availability policy.
- Confirm sequence/structure/germplasm deposition requirements and accession-number reporting where applicable.
- Re-check competing-interests, funding, author-contribution, and AI-use disclosure, and open-access terms.
- If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.
Pre-submission self-check
- The advance has broad plant-science significance, not just a clean specialist increment.
- The story is framed for plant scientists outside the immediate subfield, with detail in SI.
- Mechanistic claims rest on convergent evidence, not a single correlative assay.
- Replication, controls, statistics, and germplasm/species provenance are documented.
- '-omics' and sequence/structure data are deposited and validated beyond list-generation.
- Data/code availability and the Nature reporting summary are addressed.
Common desk-reject triggers
- A technically sound but incremental specialist result with no broad significance.
- Mechanism asserted from a single correlative experiment without genetic or biochemical support.
- Single-condition, single-genotype, or unreplicated phenotyping presented as general.
- '-omics' descriptive catalogues with no functional validation or conceptual advance.
- Framing pitched only to one subfield rather than the broad plant-science readership.
Re-routing decision
- Deep molecular/cellular mechanism, specialist depth →
the-plant-cellorthe-plant-journal. - Ecology, physiology, environmental interactions breadth →
new-phytologist. - Field-scale agronomy and yield →
field-crops-research. - Food-systems significance dominant →
