At a glance

Drafts or audits data and code availability statements, dataset access routes, repository plans and FAIR metadata for Nature-style manuscripts.

  • Works in 4 steps: Load the manifest and the core layer → No content axis — confirm journal and… → Run the workflow → …
  • Writing a data availability statement for a manuscript
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Auditing an existing statement before submission

What it does

The skill works as a router. It reads manifest.yaml and the always-loaded core files, one covering stance and the source hierarchy and one holding an eight-step workflow with the output format. There is no content axis: journal instructions, the access route for each dataset and the user's language are handled at run time. If you write in Chinese, a Chinese-mode file is read and a Chinese check block is added unless you asked for statement text only.

The eight steps are to identify the journal, inventory every supporting dataset, classify each into one access route (public repository, controlled access, within paper, reused public, third-party restricted, justified request or not applicable), choose a repository and identifier strategy before drafting, draft the statement with an explicit dataset-to-location mapping, add formal dataset citations, run a FAIR and metadata audit, and return ready-to-paste text with unresolved fields.

A wording edit or audit of one existing statement skips the full dataset inventory. The skill never invents DOIs, accession numbers, repository names, licences, embargo dates or approvals, and it treats available upon request as weak unless a specific legal, ethical, commercial or third-party restriction applies.

When your agent uses it

  • Writing a data availability statement for a manuscript
  • Auditing an existing statement before submission
  • Choosing a repository and identifier plan for datasets
  • Checking FAIR metadata and dataset citations

Example prompts

  • “Draft a data and code availability statement for our Nature Communications submission.”
  • “Audit this data availability statement and flag weak phrases like available upon request.”
  • “Which repository should we use for the sequencing data and the analysis code, and how should we cite them?”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Load the manifest and the core layer
  2. No content axis — confirm journal and language inline
  3. Run the workflow
  4. Reach for references only when needed

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit e605b35. 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 Availability loads about 957 tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 430 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~957
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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 Data Availability — Router

Routing protocol

For a new task, load the core and matching resources below. Reuse already loaded guidance on follow-ups; load more only when the task needs it.

1. Load the manifest and the core layer

Read manifest.yaml. Then read every file listed under always_load:

  • static/core/stance.md — what the data-availability package is, the default stance, and the source hierarchy.
  • static/core/workflow.md — the eight-step workflow and the output format.
2. No content axis — confirm journal and language inline

Unlike nature-writing or nature-figure, nature-data has no fragment axis. Its variation is handled at runtime, not by loading different content bodies:

  • journal/article type — if journal-specific instructions conflict with this skill, follow the journal.
  • access route — each dataset is classified into one route (public repository, controlled access, within paper, reused public, third-party restricted, justified request, or not applicable).
  • user language — if the user writes Chinese or requests Chinese guidance, read static/core/chinese-mode.md and add the 中文核对 block unless the user requested statement text only.
3. Run the workflow

For a wording edit or audit of one existing statement, preserve supplied repository identifiers and access conditions and check the affected claims. Report gaps relevant to that statement; do not require a full study-wide dataset inventory or repository redesign. Use the complete workflow below for a new data-sharing plan, full statement, or submission audit.

Follow the eight-step workflow in core/workflow.md: identify the journal, inventory every supporting dataset, classify each into one access route, choose repository and identifier strategy before drafting, draft the statement with explicit dataset-to-location mapping, add formal dataset citations, run the FAIR/metadata audit, and return ready-to-paste text plus unresolved fields.

Do not invent DOIs, accession numbers, repository names, licences, embargo dates, ethics approvals, access committees, or data-use conditions. Flag "available upon request" as weak unless there is a specific legal, ethical, commercial, or third-party restriction.

4. Reach for references only when needed

The files under references/ are deep references, not defaults. Open them on demand per the references.on_demand table in the manifest — for example references/policy-principles.md for the governing rules and edge cases, references/repository-and-identifiers.md for repository/accession/DOI choices, references/statement-patterns.md for ready-to-adapt statements, references/fair-metadata-checklist.md for the FAIR audit, references/chinese-author-alignment.md for Chinese wording, and references/source-basis.md to justify a rule with its official source.

When the target is the flagship journal Nature, also open references/nature-article-requirements.md for statement placement, mandatory-deposition routing, central-code review access, materials and structure-file checks.

When the target is Nature Machine Intelligence, open ../nature-shared/journal-formats/nature-machine-intelligence.md. Enforce a Data Availability statement and a separate Code availability section after it and before references; check reviewer access, precise restrictions, repository/identifier quality and the Software Submission Checklist for newly developed central code.
