What it does

Nature Data is an agent skill from Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar. Prepare, 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…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 10 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/chinese-author-alignment.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management. The repository describes itself as: Semi-automated research assistant for academic research and software development. Supports Claude Code, Codex CLI, Kimi Code CLI, and OpenCode across ideation, coding… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks about Nature data availability
  • Research data sharing
  • Repository selection
  • Accession numbers

Example prompts

  • “/nature-data”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Identify the target journal and article type. If journal-specific instructions conflict with
  2. Inventory every dataset needed to support the main and supplementary results
  3. Classify each dataset into one access route
  4. Choose repository and identifier strategy before drafting text. Prefer DOI, accession number,
  5. Draft the Data Availability statement using explicit dataset-to-location mapping.
  6. Add formal dataset citations for public data that support conclusions.
  7. Run the FAIR and metadata audit before finalizing.
  8. Return ready-to-paste statement text plus any unresolved fields the author must confirm.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9037873. 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 Data loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 136 tokens; SKILL.md has 694 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~136
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~9.5k

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
Prepare, 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.

Nature Data Availability Skill

Use this skill to turn a manuscript's supporting data into a transparent, Nature-ready data availability package: statement text, repository plan, dataset citations, and missing-information flags.

The governing policy layer is Springer Nature / Nature Portfolio data policy. The implementation layer is FAIR data practice and DataCite-style citation metadata.

For academic wording only, the active installed skills/ml-paper-writing/references/knowledge/paper-miner-writing-memory.md under the current client's skill home may offer relevant phrasing examples. Use it only when it contains source-attributed availability language. Journal policy and the author's actual data-access facts take precedence. If the memory is absent or irrelevant, continue without it.

Chinese-user operating mode

When the user writes in Chinese, provides a Chinese manuscript note, or asks for "中文对应", "中英对照", "数据可用性声明", "数据获取声明", "原始数据", "数据存储库", or "受限数据":

  • Accept Chinese input naturally, but draft the final submission-ready statement in English unless the user explicitly asks for Chinese only.
  • Preserve a short Chinese explanation of unresolved decisions when it helps the author act.
  • Translate intent, not wording. Chinese phrases such as "可向通讯作者索取" are usually too vague for Nature-style English unless the restriction and access process are specified.
  • Convert Chinese repository/status descriptions into precise publication terms: 数据可用性声明 -> Data Availability; 原始数据 -> raw data; 处理后数据 -> processed data; 源数据 -> source data; 补充材料 -> Supplementary Information; 受限数据 -> restricted data; 合理请求 -> reasonable request, only with reason and review route.
  • Use references/chinese-author-alignment.md for Chinese terminology, common CN-to-EN failure modes, and bilingual intake questions.

Default stance

  • Treat the Data Availability statement as a link between the paper's claims and the evidence needed to inspect, reproduce, or reuse them.
  • Do not invent DOIs, accession numbers, repository names, licences, embargo dates, ethics approvals, access committees, or data-use conditions.
  • Prefer public, discipline-specific repositories. Use generalist or institutional repositories only when no suitable community repository exists.
  • Describe both newly generated data and reused third-party data.
  • If data cannot be openly shared, state why, who controls access, how requests are evaluated, and what metadata or representative data can still be public.
  • Separate data, code, materials, and protocols unless the journal asks for a combined availability section.
  • Keep this skill focused on availability and metadata. Do not rewrite methods, analyze statistics, or polish the manuscript unless the user asks for those tasks separately.
  • Flag "available upon request" as weak unless there is a specific legal, ethical, commercial, or third-party restriction.

Workflow

  1. Identify the target journal and article type. If journal-specific instructions conflict with this skill, follow the journal.
  2. Inventory every dataset needed to support the main and supplementary results: generated raw data, processed data, figure source data, secondary data, software outputs, models, tables, images, and files underlying statistical analysis.
  3. Classify each dataset into one access route: public repository, controlled access repository, within paper or supplement, reused public source, third-party restricted, available on justified request, or not applicable.
  4. Choose repository and identifier strategy before drafting text. Prefer DOI, accession number, Handle, ARK, or stable repository record over personal websites and temporary cloud links.
  5. Draft the Data Availability statement using explicit dataset-to-location mapping.
  6. Add formal dataset citations for public data that support conclusions.
  7. Run the FAIR and metadata audit before finalizing.
  8. Return ready-to-paste statement text plus any unresolved fields the author must confirm.

Output format

Unless the user asks for another format, return:

text
Data Availability
[ready-to-paste statement]

Repository and citation actions
- [specific actions or "None"]

Missing information / risk flags
- [specific flags or "None"]

中文核对
- [用中文列出作者需要确认的字段或 "无"]

When auditing an existing statement, lead with blocking issues first, then provide a revised version.

Source hierarchy

Use sources in this order:

  1. Target journal instructions and submission system requirements.
  2. Nature Portfolio / Springer Nature data, code, materials, and reporting policies.
  3. Repository-specific requirements and domain community standards.
  4. FAIR principles and DataCite metadata practice.

If a policy detail may have changed, verify the current journal page before giving final submission advice.
