What it does
This skill acts as a router. For a new task the agent loads manifest.yaml and the always-load core files covering stance, red lines and the revision workflow, then identifies the task mode from draft, audit, revise, triage-only, cover-letter, revision-package, latex-template and appeal-like, the editor's decision type, and the user's language. Chinese-speaking users also get a Chinese cross-check block. The decision type is never guessed from the tone or number of reviewer comments, and unclear package-level work pauses to ask whether it is major or minor revision.
A local edit or bounded audit returns only the revised passage or findings, not a tracker, cover letter or full package, and appeals are routed separately instead of being the default. Many resources ship with it: references on comment taxonomy, difficult cases, LaTeX templates, package consistency audits and QA, plus examples for conflicting reviewers, major revision and minor revision. Initial submissions belong to nature-writing and simulated review to nature-reviewer.
When your agent uses it
- Writing a point-by-point reply to reviewer comments
- Preparing a revision cover letter for the editor
- Auditing an existing response draft for gaps or unsupported claims
- Building a LaTeX revision package with marked changes
Example prompts
- “Draft a point-by-point response to these three reviewer comments for a major revision.”
- “Audit my response letter and flag any promise the manuscript does not actually deliver.”
- “Write the cover letter for our revised manuscript, using the editor's decision letter.”
- “Set up a LaTeX response template with the reviewer comments and our replies.”
Requirements
- The editor's decision letter and the reviewer comments
- The marked manuscript or LaTeX source for a full revision package
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
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
Ships 1 file in scripts/, which the agent can run.
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 Reviewer Response loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~19k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 731 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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Nature Reviewer Response — 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— the editor-facing purpose, the default stance, the red lines, and the source hierarchy that apply to every response job.static/core/workflow.md— accepted inputs, the revision correspondence workflow, and the output package format.
2. No content axis — identify mode and language inline
Unlike nature-writing or nature-figure, nature-response has no fragment axis. Its variation is identified at runtime, not by loading different content bodies:
- task mode —
draft/audit/revise/triage-only/cover-letter/revision-package/latex-template/appeal-like. - decision type — minor revision, major revision, revise-and-resubmit, transfer after review, or unclear.
- user language — if the user writes Chinese, also produce the 中文核对 block.
Decision type is required for a new package-level revision strategy or complete response package.
First extract it from the editor letter or task context. If it remains unclear, ask whether this
is a Major Revision or Minor Revision and pause only decision-dependent work. A local wording
edit, audit of an existing reply, or comment-level triage may proceed with decision type marked
unknown. Do not infer the decision from the number, tone, or difficulty of reviewer comments.
Use references/intake-and-routing.md to fix the task mode, minimum inputs, and readiness state before drafting. Route appeal-like cases separately; do not draft an appeal as the default path.
For a local edit or bounded audit, return the revised passage or findings and relevant missing facts. Do not expand it into a master tracker, cover letter, or complete revision package unless requested. Apply the package workflow below only to the parts needed for the requested output.
3. Run the workflow
Follow the workflow in core/workflow.md: if the user pasted a journal email, first parse manuscript metadata, decision type, editor instructions, reviewer reports, required files, deadlines, and reviewer-visibility rules from the email; identify mode and pass the decision-type gate; apply the Major- or Minor-Revision strategy without downgrading the severity of individual comments; extract editor instructions (IDs E.1) then reviewer comments (R1.1, R2.1) when present; classify each item by response action and independently verified work status; build an internal/editor master strategy and tracker; draft a standalone privacy-filtered response for each mutually blind reviewer; when a reviewer missed material already present in the manuscript, treat that as a clarity signal and revise the presentation instead of replying that the point was already stated; draft a revision cover letter when required; map every claimed change to a manuscript location or explicit placeholder; mark changed manuscript text in red on a backed-up copy when editing; format quoted revised manuscript text in the response letter in italics; flag missing author input; run QA; and derive package readiness from the per-item statuses and blocking state.
Show full SKILL.md (255 more words)Show less
Whenever a response proposes or performs a manuscript main-text edit, also load
../nature-shared/core/main-text-discipline.md. Answer the reviewer completely
in the letter, but keep the manuscript change to the shortest text needed for
the reader. Prefer replacement or compression over appending, and route
non-central robustness or reconciliation detail to SI unless it changes the
central interpretation.
Never invent experiments, citations, line numbers, figure panels, supplementary items, editor instructions, or manuscript changes. Mark anything the author must supply as AUTHOR_INPUT_NEEDED.
4. Reach for references only when needed
The files under references/ and templates/ are deep resources, not defaults. Open them on demand per the references.on_demand table in the manifest — for example references/comment-taxonomy.md to classify comments, references/action-mapping.md for tracker fields, references/tone-and-stance.md for disagreement wording, references/difficult-cases.md for impossible experiments / conflicting reviewers / appeal-like cases, references/chinese-author-alignment.md for Chinese author notes, references/latex-templates.md for .tex cover/response/redline outputs, ../nature-shared/core/main-text-discipline.md for reviewer-driven manuscript additions and evidence relocation, references/package-consistency-audit.md whenever the manuscript is edited alongside the letter or the package is about to be compiled and delivered, and references/qa-checklist.md before finalizing.
qa-checklist.md and package-consistency-audit.md are complementary and both apply to a final package: the first asks whether the response is complete, honest, and well-toned; the second asks whether the marked manuscript, the clean manuscript, and the letter actually agree with each other after editing. For a LaTeX package, run scripts/check_package_consistency.py after the first complete draft, after every manuscript edit, and immediately before delivery. Any manuscript edit invalidates the letter's verbatim quotes and page references, so re-run the audit rather than treating it as a one-time final check.

To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/nature-response, .gemini/skills/nature-response, .github/skills/nature-response and .opencode/skills/nature-response in your project.
What does Nature Reviewer Response need to run?
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Nature Reviewer Response is instructions for the agent only. Our summary lists: The editor's decision letter and the reviewer comments; The marked manuscript or LaTeX source for a full revision package.
Does Nature Reviewer Response access the network?
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Is Nature Reviewer Response safe to install?
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
