What it does

Ngeo Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding which ngeo- sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from scope-fit through revision for a Nature Geoscience (Nat. Geosci.) manuscript. Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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.

Workflow steps

11 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. ngeo-scope-fit — settle the broad-interest Earth-system gate first; redirect to a community journal if it fails
  2. ngeo-results-framing — lock the single headline advance and its "Here we show" statement
  3. ngeo-methods — build the online Methods section that grounds every quantitative claim in data or model diagnostics
  4. ngeo-figures — design a lead figure that carries the Earth-system result and its uncertainty
  5. ngeo-supplementary — partition extended data, model output, and derivations to SI; keep the main text self-contained
  6. ngeo-writing-style — Nature house style, "accessible to non-specialists," calibrated claims
  7. ngeo-length-management — fit the 3,000-word Article budget and 4–6 display-item ceiling (do this AFTER content is stable)
  8. ngeo-cover-letter — argue broad interest to the in-house editor who triages before review
  9. ngeo-submission — final preflight (Editorial Manager files, reporting summary, data/code availability)
  10. ngeo-referee-strategy — suggested / excluded referees; pre-empt likely objections
  11. ngeo-revision — after the referee reports arrive

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 Workflow loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 810 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~60
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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 Geoscience Workflow (ngeo-workflow)

Overview

This is the router. It does not do any one stage's work; it tells you which ngeo- skill to use at your current stage* and in what order.

Default assumption: unless the user says otherwise, the target is Nature Geoscience — a Nature Portfolio flagship that publishes Earth-system advances of broad, cross-disciplinary interest across the solid Earth, atmosphere, oceans, cryosphere, climate, and planetary science. The winning manuscript is not the most thorough regional case study; it is the one whose quantitative result changes how the wider Earth-science community understands a process. If the work is a solid but locally-scoped or specialist advance, its home is a community journal (JGR, GRL, Climate of the Past, EGU/AGU titles, or Nature Communications / Communications Earth & Environment), and ngeo-scope-fit will say so.

When to trigger

  • User asks "what should I do next?" on an Earth-science manuscript
  • User drops a draft and needs the current bottleneck diagnosed
  • User is unsure whether the result is "Nature Geoscience-worthy" or belongs in a community journal
  • The Article is over the 3,000-word limit and material must be re-partitioned into Methods / Supplementary
  • User received a Nature Portfolio editor or referee decision and needs to switch into response mode

Ready to submit; need format / files / reporting-summary preflightngeo-submission
Choosing suggested/excluded referees; anticipating objectionsngeo-referee-strategy
Received referee reports or an editor decision; need to respondngeo-revision

Default order

  1. ngeo-scope-fit — settle the broad-interest Earth-system gate first; redirect to a community journal if it fails
  2. ngeo-results-framing — lock the single headline advance and its "Here we show" statement
  3. ngeo-methods — build the online Methods section that grounds every quantitative claim in data or model diagnostics
  4. ngeo-figures — design a lead figure that carries the Earth-system result and its uncertainty
  5. ngeo-supplementary — partition extended data, model output, and derivations to SI; keep the main text self-contained
  6. ngeo-writing-style — Nature house style, "accessible to non-specialists," calibrated claims
  7. ngeo-length-management — fit the 3,000-word Article budget and 4–6 display-item ceiling (do this AFTER content is stable)
  8. ngeo-cover-letter — argue broad interest to the in-house editor who triages before review
  9. ngeo-submission — final preflight (Editorial Manager files, reporting summary, data/code availability)
  10. ngeo-referee-strategy — suggested / excluded referees; pre-empt likely objections
  11. ngeo-revision — after the referee reports arrive

ngeo-writing-style and ngeo-length-management are late polish stages. Do not trim to 3,000 words before the headline advance, Methods, and figures are stable, or you will cut the wrong material.

Decision heuristics

  • "Reviewer 2 will say 'this is a regional study, why not JGR?'" → ngeo-scope-fit
  • "I can state my measurement but not what it changes about the Earth system" → ngeo-results-framing
  • "My Methods are three pages of instrument and model detail" → ngeo-methods
  • "My lead figure is a six-panel map grid with a 12-line caption" → ngeo-figures
  • "You can't read the main text without the Supplementary" → ngeo-supplementary
  • "I'm 800 words over and have seven figures" → ngeo-length-management
  • "The editor needs to see why this is cross-disciplinary" → ngeo-cover-letter
  • "Submitting tonight; is the Reporting Summary done?" → ngeo-submission
  • "Who should I suggest as a referee?" → ngeo-referee-strategy
  • "Three referee reports just landed" → ngeo-revision

Manuscript status board

Readiness is a two-column question: is the content settled, and does it fit the Nature Article container? Fill this board before invoking ngeo-submission; any cell still marked OPEN routes you back to the named skill.

Differences vs. community Earth-science journals

Nature Geoscience and community titles (JGR, GRL, Climate Dynamics, Communications Earth & Environment) share peer-review rigor but differ on the gate:

  • Nature Geoscience: a broad, cross-disciplinary Earth-system advance, editor-triaged for general interest before review. A rigorous but regionally-scoped or incremental result is declined without review on interest grounds.
  • Community journals: thorough, specialist-appropriate, archival; regional and incremental advances are welcome and length is generous.

If ngeo-scope-fit returns a "specialist / regional" verdict, retarget rather than fighting the broad-interest bar.

Anti-patterns

  • Do not skip ngeo-scope-fit — Nature editors desk-reject the majority of submissions before review on interest grounds; a wrong-venue manuscript wastes a cycle
  • Do not run ngeo-length-management before content is stable — you will cut load-bearing evidence or uncertainty
  • Do not let the Supplementary Information become a dump the main text silently depends on
  • Do not treat data/code availability and the Reporting Summary as afterthoughts — they gate acceptance, not just submission

Durable norms only. Verify current word/display-item/reference limits, content types, formats, and policies on the official Nature Geoscience author pages (Checked: 2026-07-16).
