What it does

Ngeo Supplementary is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when partitioning content between the Nature Geoscience main text and its Supplementary Information, ensuring the Article stands alone while extended data, model output, and derivations live in the SI. Organizes the SI; does not write the main text.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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

  • Partitioning content between the Nature Geoscience main text and its Supplementary Information
  • Ensuring the Article stands alone while extended data
  • Derivations live in the SI

Example prompts

  • “/ngeo-supplementary”

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 Supplementary loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 563 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

description
Use when partitioning content between the Nature Geoscience main text and its Supplementary Information, ensuring the Article stands alone while extended data, model output, and derivations live in the SI. Organizes the SI; does not write the main text.

Nature Geoscience Supplementary Information (ngeo-supplementary)

When to trigger

  • The Article is over 3,000 words and detail must move out of the main text
  • A reader cannot follow the main text without consulting the Supplementary Information
  • You have extended maps, full model ensembles, derivations, or additional proxies with no home
  • You are unsure what is allowed in SI versus what must stay in the main text or online Methods
  • Referees of a prior version asked for material that would bloat the main text

The stand-alone rule (non-negotiable)

The main text must be fully understandable on its own. The Supplementary Information supports the Article; it must never be load-bearing for the headline advance. A reader who never opens the SI should still grasp the result, the core evidence for it, its uncertainty, and why it matters.

  • The headline advance, its decisive evidence, and the headline uncertainty live in the main text.
  • The online Methods holds the reproducible protocol (instruments, model setup, statistics).
  • The SI holds the exhaustive backup a skeptical referee or replicator wants: extended datasets, full ensembles, sensitivity tests, additional figures and tables.

If removing the SI breaks the argument, the partition is wrong — pull the essential piece back into the main text (and trim elsewhere via ngeo-length-management).

Methods vs. SI (a common confusion)

Nature Geoscience has both an online Methods section and Supplementary Information; they are not the same:

ContentHome
Reproducible protocol (instrument, model config, statistics)online Methods
Full uncertainty budget / error propagationonline Methods
Extended data figures, additional maps/sectionsSI
Full model ensemble members, sensitivity sweepsSI
Supporting derivations / lengthy algebraSI
Secondary proxies, additional sites, robustness checksSI
Large data tablesSI
The headline advance and its decisive evidencemain text
The headline uncertaintymain text
Show full SKILL.md (274 more words)Show less

SI organization

  • Mirror the Article's logic: order SI sections to match the order they are cited in the main text and Methods.
  • Give SI sections clear headings and self-contained captions; label figures/tables Fig. Sn / Table Sn / Supplementary Note n.
  • Every SI item is cited from the main text or Methods at the point it is relevant; nothing goes uncited.
  • Keep notation, units, and symbol definitions consistent with the main text and Methods.
  • Keep the SI honest: it is peer-reviewed alongside the Article, not a place to bury weak results, unvalidated model runs, or claims the referees did not vet.

Checklist

  • The main text is understandable without ever opening the SI
  • No headline-advance evidence is only in the SI
  • Reproducible protocol is in online Methods, not scattered in SI
  • Every SI item is cited from the main text or Methods at the relevant point
  • SI sections ordered to match their citation order
  • SI figures/tables labeled Fig. Sn / Table Sn distinctly
  • Extended data, full ensembles, and derivations live in SI
  • Notation and units consistent across main text, Methods, and SI

Anti-patterns

  • A main text that silently depends on the SI to be understood
  • Burying the decisive evidence or headline uncertainty in the SI
  • Confusing SI with online Methods (protocol scattered instead of consolidated)
  • An SI that is a disorganized dump rather than a structured appendix
  • SI items referenced out of order or never cited
  • Notation/unit drift between main text, Methods, and SI
  • Using SI to smuggle in unvalidated model runs or claims reviewers did not see

Output format

【Main text stands alone】yes / fix (pull back: ...)
【Methods vs. SI split correct】yes / fix
【SI sections】S1: ... / S2: ... (cited from main text/Methods?)
【Headline evidence only in SI?】none / move back: ...
【SI labels】Fig. Sn / Table Sn?  yes / fix
【Notation consistent across all three】yes / fix
【Next】ngeo-writing-style or ngeo-length-management

SI scope, labeling, and the Methods/SI boundary evolve — verify on the official Nature Geoscience author pages (Checked: 2026-07-16).
