What it does
Ngeo Length Management is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when a Nature Geoscience manuscript exceeds the ~3,000-word Article limit, the 4-6 display-item ceiling, or the reference cap, where content must be relocated to online Methods or Supplementary Information. Triages what to cut, compress, or move; does not rewrite content from scratch.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Physical and earth sciences. 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.
When your agent uses it
- A Nature Geoscience manuscript exceeds the ~3
- 000-word Article limit
- The 4-6 display-item ceiling
- The reference cap
Example prompts
- “/ngeo-length-management”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Move protocol to online Methods first. Instrument detail, model configuration, statistical procedure, and the full uncertainty budget…
- Move extended data to SI. Additional maps, full model ensembles, sensitivity sweeps, secondary proxies → Supplementary Information (see…
- Merge / cut display items. Combine related panels; move non-essential figures to SI to get within 4–6.
- Prune references to the works that establish importance or are needed for trust; consolidate where Nature style permits, to stay near ~50.
- Tighten prose (apply ngeo-writing-style): remove padding, hedging, regional-setting tours, and figure-transcribing sentences.
- Cut scope as a last resort: demote a supporting result entirely.
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
Ngeo Length Management loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 589 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.

- ngeo-length-management
- description
- Use when a Nature Geoscience manuscript exceeds the ~3,000-word Article limit, the 4-6 display-item ceiling, or the reference cap, where content must be relocated to online Methods or Supplementary Information. Triages what to cut, compress, or move; does not rewrite content from scratch.
Nature Geoscience Length Management (ngeo-length-management)
When to trigger
- The main text is over the ~3,000-word Article limit (or you suspect it is)
- You have more than 4–6 display items or more than ~50 references
- You must decide what to cut, compress, or push to online Methods / SI
- A coauthor keeps adding regional detail and sensitivity tests
- Late stage: content, figures, and SI are stable and now must fit the container
How the Nature Geoscience length limits work
An Article is short and tightly bounded (verify current values on the author pages):
- Main text: up to ~3,000 words, excluding abstract, online Methods, references, and figure legends.
- Abstract: up to ~200 words, unreferenced.
- Title: up to ~90 characters.
- Display items: 4–6 figures and/or tables combined.
- References: typically up to ~50 in the main list.
- Brief Communication (the short format): ~1,000–1,500 words, ≤2 display items, ≤20 references, ~70-word abstract.
Unlike a deductible page budget, Nature counts these categories separately: text, display items, and references each have their own ceiling. The relief valves are the online Methods (excluded from the word count) and the Supplementary Information — the main text stays lean by pushing the reproducible and extended material outward.
Triage order (cut from cheapest loss to most painful)
- Move protocol to online Methods first. Instrument detail, model configuration, statistical procedure, and the full uncertainty budget belong in Methods, which does not count against the 3,000-word main-text limit. This is usually the largest, lowest-pain saving (see
ngeo-methods). - Move extended data to SI. Additional maps, full model ensembles, sensitivity sweeps, secondary proxies → Supplementary Information (see
ngeo-supplementary). - Merge / cut display items. Combine related panels; move non-essential figures to SI to get within 4–6.
- Prune references to the works that establish importance or are needed for trust; consolidate where Nature style permits, to stay near ~50.
- Tighten prose (apply
ngeo-writing-style): remove padding, hedging, regional-setting tours, and figure-transcribing sentences. - Cut scope as a last resort: demote a supporting result entirely.

Cost-awareness table
| Element | Where the budget bites | Cheapest fix |
|---|---|---|
| Instrument / model-setup paragraph | main-text word count | move to online Methods (excluded) |
| Full uncertainty budget in main text | main-text word count | move to online Methods |
| Seventh figure / dense map grid | display-item ceiling | merge or move to SI |
| Regional-setting tour in the opening | main-text word count | compress to one sentence |
| Over-long reference list | reference cap (~50) | prune to importance + trust essentials |
| Sensitivity sweeps in the body | main-text word count + figures | move to SI |
| Figure legend padding | (legends excluded, but tighten) | tighten for clarity |
Checklist
- Main text is within the ~3,000-word limit (excluding abstract/Methods/refs/legends)
- Abstract ≤ ~200 words, unreferenced; title ≤ ~90 characters
- Display items within the 4–6 ceiling
- References near / under the ~50 cap, pruned to essentials
- Reproducible protocol and full uncertainty budget are in online Methods, not the main text
- Extended data and sensitivity tests are in SI
- Prose padding, hedging, and regional tours removed (cross-check
ngeo-writing-style) - The main text still stands alone after trimming (cross-check
ngeo-supplementary)
Anti-patterns
- Counting only words and being surprised the display-item or reference ceiling is blown
- Trimming load-bearing content (the decisive evidence, the headline uncertainty) to fit
- Padding online Methods or SI until the main text no longer stands alone
- Leaving instrument/model detail in the main text that belongs in (excluded) Methods
- Keeping a seventh decorative figure over the 4–6 ceiling
- Discovering the over-length only at submission, after content is frozen
Output format
【Main text vs. ~3,000】over by ~X words (verify current limit)
【Abstract / title within limits】yes / fix
【Display items】N (≤6) — merge/move list
【References】N vs. ~50 — prune list
【Moved to online Methods】list (excluded from word count)
【Moved to SI】list
【Still stands alone】yes / fix
【Next】ngeo-cover-letter or ngeo-submissionThe word/display-item/reference limits and content-type definitions are exactly the kind of volatile specifics that change — always verify current limits on the official Nature Geoscience author pages (Checked: 2026-07-16).
