What it does
Nature Writing is an agent skill from Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar. Draft, restructure, or plan Nature-style manuscript sections from author-provided claims, results, figures, notes, or Chinese drafts. Use when the user wants to write or rebuild an abstract, introduction, results narrative, discussion, conclusion, title, or full manuscript argument rather than only polish finished prose.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 47 other files, including reference files (for example `README.md`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/abstract.md`).
It sits in Research & Science. 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 wants to write
- Rebuild an abstract
- Results narrative
- Full manuscript argument rather than only polish finished prose
Example prompts
- “/nature-writing”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Build a one-sentence argument: `In [system/problem], we show [advance] using
- Choose the section architecture from references/article-architecture.md.
- Map each paragraph to one job: context, gap, approach, result, comparison,
- Draft from evidence outward. Keep claims near the data that support them.
- Calibrate verbs: show, demonstrate, suggest, indicate, enable,
- Remove unsupported novelty and universal claims.
- Run a paragraph-flow check: one paragraph, one message, with a clear first
- Return prose plus concise notes on assumptions and missing inputs.
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 Writing loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~26k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 802 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-Style Scientific Writing
Use this skill when the user needs help creating or rebuilding manuscript prose, not merely polishing existing sentences.
Core stance
- Author evidence comes first. Do not invent results, mechanisms, references, methods, novelty, sample sizes, statistics or limitations.
- Write the argument before writing the sentences.
- Make the paper easy to judge: relevance, novelty, trust, reuse and meaning.
- Use ambitious but bounded claims.
- If essential evidence is missing, write a placeholder or ask for the missing input instead of filling the gap.
Mined writing memory
Before drafting or restructuring academic prose, check the active installed
skills/ml-paper-writing/references/knowledge/paper-miner-writing-memory.md
under the current client's skill home. Read only entries relevant to this paper's
section, article type, and venue. Use mined patterns for structure and wording
ideas, while grounding every claim in the author's evidence and the target
journal's requirements. Do not copy source phrasing. If the memory is absent or
has no relevant entries, continue with this skill's references.
When to open extra files
| File | Open when |
|---|---|
| references/article-architecture.md | You need section-level structure, argument order, or published-article writing patterns |
| references/abstract.md | Drafting or revising an abstract, especially challenge-contribution and challenge-insight-contribution forms |
| references/introduction.md | Drafting or revising an Introduction, task framing, technical challenge, contribution framing, or teaser/pipeline logic |
| references/related-work.md | Rebuilding Related Work as topic synthesis instead of a paper-by-paper list |
| references/method.md | Writing Method sections, pipeline modules, module motivation, technical advantages, or implementation details |
| references/experiments.md | Planning or writing Experiments/Results around baselines, ablations, metrics, tables, figures, and claim support |
| references/conclusion.md | Writing a bounded conclusion with contribution, evidence, impact, limitation, and future direction |
| references/paragraph-flow.md | User asks whether a paragraph flows, makes sense, or is clear; use reverse outlining and paragraph-message checks |
| references/paper-review.md | Final manuscript self-review, rejection-risk audit, claim-evidence alignment, or reviewer-facing critique |
| references/chinese-author-workflow.md | The user's notes are Chinese, mixed Chinese-English, or organized as lab notes rather than manuscript prose |
| references/examples/index.md | You need concrete abstract, introduction, or method examples after choosing the relevant guide |
Intake
Before drafting, identify:
- manuscript section: title, abstract, introduction, results, discussion, conclusion, significance paragraph or full outline
- paper type: mechanism, method, resource, device, model, clinical, materials, computational or interdisciplinary
- core claim: what the paper actually demonstrates
- evidence: figures, measurements, comparisons, datasets, statistics or examples
- boundary: where the claim stops
- target journal or word limit, if provided
If any of core claim, evidence or boundary is absent, expose the gap before
drafting. You may still produce a scaffold with explicit placeholders.
Writing workflow
- Build a one-sentence argument:
In [system/problem], we show [advance] using [approach], supported by [evidence], with [boundary]. - Choose the section architecture from
references/article-architecture.md. - Map each paragraph to one job: context, gap, approach, result, comparison, mechanism, implication or limitation.
- Draft from evidence outward. Keep claims near the data that support them.
- Calibrate verbs:
show,demonstrate,suggest,indicate,enable,may,could. - Remove unsupported novelty and universal claims.
- Run a paragraph-flow check: one paragraph, one message, with a clear first sentence and explicit sentence-to-sentence relation.
- Return prose plus concise notes on assumptions and missing inputs.

Section defaults
Abstract
Default Nature pattern:
context/problem -> gap -> approach -> key result -> implication -> boundary
For technical AI, ML, CV or method-heavy manuscripts, open
references/abstract.md and choose one of:
challenge -> contributionchallenge -> insight -> contributionmultiple contributions
Keep it compact. Include quantitative or comparative detail when the user provided it. End with what the work enables, not generic importance.
Introduction
Use:
field scale -> bottleneck -> prior attempts -> unresolved gap -> present study
For method-heavy papers, open references/introduction.md and reason backward
from the technical challenge and contribution before drafting forward.
Do not summarize all results. The final paragraph should state what this paper does and how it addresses the gap.
Results narrative
Use an evidence ladder:
system/workflow -> validation -> main result -> baseline comparison -> mechanism/diagnostic analysis -> application or generalization
Each subsection should have a claim-first opening and then data support.
For ML/conference-style experiment sections, open references/experiments.md
and make sure each major claim is backed by comparison, ablation, or stress-test
evidence.
Related Work
Use:
topic scope -> representative methods -> limitation tied to this paper -> distinction
Group prior work by technical topic and mechanism, not by publication year.
Discussion
Use:
central advance -> evidence meaning -> relation to prior work -> constraints -> future use
This is where interpretation and limitations belong. Do not repeat the Results section figure by figure.
Conclusion
Use:
contribution -> decisive evidence -> implication -> boundary
No new data. No unsupported promises.
Title
Prefer concrete titles that combine:
system/object + action/capability + application or consequence
Avoid slogan titles, grant-style aims and overbroad field claims.
Output format
Default output:
Draft:with the requested prose.Section outline:with3-7compact bullets when the task involves a full section.Assumptions or missing inputs:with only material issues.Claim-evidence map:for major claims, usingClaim: ... | Evidence: ... | Status: supported/needs evidence.Why this structure:with2-4short bullets.
For Chinese author notes, provide polished English first, then brief Chinese notes explaining major structural choices.
