What it does
Nature Workflow is an agent skill from ZimoLiao/scholaraio. Use when the user explicitly asks for Nature Skills, nature-skills, Nature style, Nature-style, Nature Communications, Nature-family, CNS, high-impact journal, or Springer Nature workflows, including Nature figure work, polishing, writing, reviewer critique, high-impact journal major revision response, Nature/CNS citations, Nature data-sharing workflows, paper readers, reviewer response, paper-to-PPT, submission checklist, or Nature-specific academic-search workflows.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/bridge-policy.md`, `references/quickstart.md` and `references/upstream-install.md`).
It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search and Citation management. The repository describes itself as: Scholar All-In-One: A research infrastructure for AI agents. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user explicitly asks for Nature Skills
- Nature Communications
- High-impact journal
- Springer Nature workflows
Example prompts
- “/nature-workflow”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Upstream target: one or more of nature-figure, nature-polishing,
- Availability: original upstream skill available, installed through a
- ScholarAIO fallback: only if upstream cannot be used.
- Evidence state: manuscript/text/PDF/figures/comments/data/references
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 777628b. 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 Workflow loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 122 tokens; SKILL.md has 568 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.

- description
- Use when the user explicitly asks for Nature Skills, nature-skills, Nature style, Nature-style, Nature Communications, Nature-family, CNS, high-impact journal, or Springer Nature workflows, including Nature figure work, polishing, writing, reviewer critique, high-impact journal major revision response, Nature/CNS citations, Nature data-sharing workflows, paper readers, reviewer response, paper-to-PPT, submission checklist, or Nature-specific academic-search workflows.
Nature Workflow Bridge
This skill is a bridge to the upstream nature-skills bundle, not a simplified
clone of it. Its job is to route the user's request to the right original
nature-* skill when that skill is installed or otherwise available, and to
fall back to ScholarAIO's existing skills only when the original upstream skill
cannot be used in the current host.
Direct-Use Policy
Use the original upstream nature-* skill directly whenever it is available. Do
not emulate, summarize, or partially rewrite upstream behavior from this bridge.
Do not copy only SKILL.md from upstream; direct use requires the whole skill
directory, including manifest.yaml, static/, references/, scripts, assets,
and skills/_shared when the upstream skill references it.
If the upstream skill is unavailable, say so, then use the ScholarAIO fallback
route from references/upstream-skill-map.md. Mark the output as a ScholarAIO
fallback, not as an upstream-equivalent Nature Skills result.
Reference Loading
Load only what the current request needs:
references/upstream-skill-map.md: load for routing decisions or when the request could match more than one upstream skill.references/bridge-policy.md: load when installation, direct-use behavior, upstream fidelity, or fallback limitations matter.references/upstream-install.md: load when the user needs the original upstreamnature-*skills installed or asks whether this bridge is a simplified local copy.references/quickstart.md: load when the user asks how to use the bridge or wants example prompts.
First Pass
Classify the request before doing work:
- Upstream target: one or more of
nature-figure,nature-polishing,nature-writing,nature-reviewer,nature-citation,nature-data,nature-reader,nature-response,nature-paper2ppt, ornature-academic-search. - Availability: original upstream skill available, installed through a plugin/local skill path, or unavailable.
- ScholarAIO fallback: only if upstream cannot be used.
- Evidence state: manuscript/text/PDF/figures/comments/data/references supplied, workspace available, or missing inputs.
State the upstream target and whether direct upstream use is available before doing substantial work.

Route Table
| User intent | Primary route |
|---|---|
| Nature/high-impact scientific figure, publication plot, manuscript figure, figures4papers-style output | nature-figure |
| Nature-style polishing, manuscript prose polish, Chinese-to-English academic polish | nature-polishing |
| Draft/rebuild abstract, introduction, methods, experiments, discussion, conclusion, title, or manuscript argument | nature-writing |
| Pre-submission reviewer critique, mock peer review, Nature-style reviewer report | nature-reviewer |
| Nature/CNS citation support, claim-to-reference mapping, reference-manager export | nature-citation |
| Data Availability, repository plan, FAIR metadata, accession/DOI/source-data/code availability | nature-data |
| Full-paper bilingual reader, source-grounded Markdown reader, paper translation/reading | nature-reader |
| Reviewer comments, rebuttal, point-by-point response letter, major/minor revision response | nature-response |
| Paper-to-PPT, Chinese journal-club PPTX, group meeting deck from a paper | nature-paper2ppt |
| Multi-source literature search, citation verification, MeSH/search strategy, citation-file management | nature-academic-search |
Submission package is only one scenario. Do not require a full submission package when the user asks only for polishing, figures, reading, PPT, citation support, reviewer critique, Data Availability, response, or search.
ScholarAIO Fallbacks
When the original upstream skill is not available:
- figure work ->
/draw - prose polish ->
/writing-polish - manuscript writing ->
/paper-writing - reviewer response ->
/review-response - citation/search/export ->
/search+/citation-check+/export - paper reading/translation ->
/show+/translate - paper-to-PPT or document packaging ->
/document - literature search ->
/search, plus host-native web search when current or external coverage is required
Use fallbacks conservatively. Preserve upstream-style guardrails such as non-invention, source grounding, explicit missing inputs, and final-output verification, but do not claim to have executed the original upstream workflow unless the original skill was actually used.
Output Shape
For routing tasks, return:
Upstream target:selectednature-*skill or skill sequence.Mode:direct upstream use or ScholarAIO fallback.Route:exact skill sequence.Immediate next action:file to inspect, command to run, or question to ask.Guardrails:only the relevant non-invention, source-grounding, or verification constraints for this request.
