Add strict Nature/CNS citations to manuscript text by splitting long passages into citable segments, searching accepted flagship and subjournal titles from Nature Portfolio, AAAS Science family, and Cell Press

Prepare, audit, or revise Nature-ready Data Availability statements, data repository plans, dataset citations, and FAIR metadata checklists for manuscripts

Submission-grade Nature/high-impact journal figure workflow for Python or R — create, revise, audit, or polish manuscript figures, multi-panel scientific plots, journal-ready SVG/PDF/TIFF outputs

Build a complete but efficient Nature-style Chinese PPTX presentation from a scientific paper, preprint, PDF, article text, abstract, figure legends, or reading notes. Use this skill whenever the user asks to make slides/PPT/PPTX for journal club, group meeting, paper sharing, thesis seminar, lab meeting, department report, or academic presentation from a research paper, not only medical papers. It identifies the paper type and argument, selects only the figures needed for the story, writes Chinese slide content and speaker notes, creates the actual .pptx deck, and runs an explicit self-review/corrective revision loop focused on figure quality, text overflow prevention, and non-template visual design before delivery.

Polish, restructure, or translate academic prose into Nature-leaning English using writing-strategy principles, curated Nature/Nature Communications article patterns, and phrase-level support from Academic Phrasebank. Use whenever the user asks to polish a manuscript paragraph, abstract, introduction, results, discussion, conclusion, title, methods section, or Chinese academic draft for publication-quality English.

Build full-paper Chinese-English side-by-side, figure/table-aware, source-grounded Markdown readers for journal or conference papers from PDF, DOI, arXiv, publisher HTML, or pasted text. Use whenever the user asks to translate or read a paper, make 中英文对照/原文对照/全文翻译解读, extract figures or tables into the right positions, preserve figure/table placement near relevant prose, or keep exact source anchors for every block. This skill must not degrade into a summary-only output unless the user explicitly asks for a summary.

Draft, audit, or revise point-by-point reviewer response letters for Nature-family manuscript revisions — handles major/minor revision requests, rebuttal letters, peer-review reports

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.

Convert scientific papers, theses, technical reports, source code, figures, or research manuscripts into evidence-grounded Chinese invention patent drafts. Use when an AI agent must extract patentable technical contributions, map every claimed feature to source evidence, preserve core formulas as editable Office Math, generate claim-aligned flowcharts and methodology figures, compare a paper with an existing patent, audit support and consistency, or deliver separate Chinese DOCX files for claims, specification, abstract, and abstract figure.

Simulate a Nature-style reviewer assessment from the referee perspective rather than an author rebuttal. Use when the user wants a pre-submission review, reviewer report, peer-review style critique, novelty/significance/technical soundness assessment, reviewer-style manuscript evaluation.
