1Nature Figurenature-figure is a procedural skill for solo researchers and indie science builders who must ship figures that survive Nature and comparable journal review. It reframes plotting as a visual argument: define the figure’s conclusion, how each panel supports it, export formats reviewers expect, and common rejection risks before any code runs. If the user has not chosen Python or R, the agent must ask and stop—then stay on that backend end-to-end. Python paths lean on matplotlib and seaborn with tight layout and vector export discipline; R paths use ggplot2, patchwork, ComplexHeatmap, ggrepel, and high-quality PDF/SVG devices. Color guidance favors coherent method families across panels rather than rainbow separation. Private template libraries may inform styling internally without leaking filenames. Use when creating, revising, auditing, or polishing manuscript figures—not for product analytics dashboards or design-tool-first infographics.2.5kinstalls2Nature PolishingNature Polishing is an agent skill for researchers and technical writers who need Nature-leaning English without outsourcing the scientific argument to generic chat. It separates macro strategy—paper architecture, published-article patterns, section logic, and evidence thresholds—from phrase-level support drawn from Academic Phrasebank. Invoke when polishing paragraphs, abstracts, introductions, results, discussions, conclusions, titles, methods, or translating Chinese academic drafts. The default stance treats language as serving argument: fix reasoning gaps before pretty sentences, and never fabricate citations or results. Solo builders who publish papers, preprints, or grant-adjacent writeups benefit even if they are not building SaaS. It is documentation and rhetoric craft, not statistical analysis or journal submission automation.2.3kinstalls3Nature Paper2pptNature-paper2ppt is an agent skill that converts scientific papers, preprints, PDFs, abstracts, figure legends, or reading notes into a complete Chinese PowerPoint deck styled with Nature-style reporting logic—not a bullet outline. Solo builders, grad students, and indie researchers use it when they must ship slides for journal club, lab meetings, thesis seminars, or department reports under time pressure. The workflow identifies paper type and central argument, picks only story-critical figures, writes slide text and speaker notes, builds the actual .pptx, then runs an explicit self-review and corrective pass focused on figure fidelity, overflow-safe layouts, and designs that avoid generic templates. It spans fields from medicine and chemistry to computational biology and AI methods papers, including reviews and benchmark articles. Expect minimal extra traceability files unless the user asks for more documentation.2kinstalls4Nature DataNature Data is an agent skill that helps researchers—and solo authors preparing Nature-family submissions—turn supporting datasets into a transparent, policy-aligned data availability package. It addresses Data Availability statements, repository choice, accession numbers, supplementary datasets, source data, sensitive or restricted data wording, and FAIR metadata checklists aligned with Springer Nature policy and DataCite-style dataset references. Chinese-speaking authors can work in Mandarin for intent and explanations while the skill defaults to English for journal-ready statements, avoiding vague phrases that reviewers flag. Use it when a manuscript is near submission and the data section is the bottleneck: you need a statement, a repo plan, citations, and explicit gaps rather than guessing journal language. The skill is procedural documentation for academic publication, not a generic file uploader or lab LIMS integration.2kinstalls5Nature CitationNature-citation is an agent skill for solo builders and indie researchers who draft scientific text in the agent and need credible Nature-family references aligned sentence-by-sentence. You paste claims about oncology, single-cell RNA-seq, spatial transcriptomics, or CRISPR screens; the workflow segments the copy, retrieves matching flagship-journal candidates, and shows a clear text-to-reference correspondence before you commit inserts. It supports narrowing to Nature Portfolio only or widening to Nature, Science, and Cell, then emits machine-readable bibliographies for Zotero, EndNote, or RIS-first toolchains. The HTML visualization layer lets you filter by publication year, tick individual entries, and download ENW, RIS, or Zotero RDF in one pass—useful when you are polishing a methods paragraph or discussion without leaving the coding environment. Treat it as a citation packaging helper, not a substitute for reading primary sources or university librarian review.1.9kinstalls6Nature ResponseNature-response is an agent skill for solo builders and small research teams who submit to Nature-family journals and must answer every reviewer point without overstating what changed in the manuscript. Install it when you have reviewer comments, editor decision letters, revision notes, or a draft rebuttal and need a verification-style response letter that cross-references concrete edits or flags gaps honestly. The skill treats the letter as editor-facing proof that each concern was understood and addressed, preferring short, evidence-linked answers and structured disagreement when appropriate. It is procedural knowledge for academic writing workflows in Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex—not a literature search tool or automated submission system. Use before you paste final replies into the journal portal so missing mappings surface as AUTHOR_INPUT_NEEDED rather than silent invention.1.5kinstalls7Nature ReaderNature Reader is an agent skill for building publication-grade bilingual reading artifacts from scientific and technical papers. Solo builders and indie researchers use it when they need to understand a full PDF or preprint—not a TL;DR—while keeping English originals adjacent to Chinese translations, figures and tables in context, and every block tied to source anchors for later citation or agent reasoning. The default deliverable set mirrors a small publishing pipeline: a complete Markdown manuscript, a machine-readable source map, translation notes for edge cases, and an assets folder for extracted visuals. It applies across journals and conference proceedings, not only Nature-branded venues. Invoke it during deep literature reviews for AI features, biotech side projects, or academic-adjacent products, and during Build docs when you must import rigorous methods sections into internal documentation. Skip it when you only want a five-bullet summary or lack rights to process the underlying PDF.1.1kinstalls8Nature WritingNature-writing is an agent skill for solo researchers and indie lab leads who need Nature or Nature Communications–style prose built from author-provided evidence only. It focuses on argument construction and full-section drafting—titles through conclusions and manuscript outlines—rather than cosmetic edits. Use it when you have figures, results tables, or rough notes and need coherent section architecture aligned with curated article patterns and repository writing-strategy rules. The skill explicitly defers sentence-level refinement to nature-polishing. It draws on section-level guidance adapted from open research-writing resources, so agents follow reviewer-facing structure instead of generic blog tone. Ideal when you are mid-build on a paper and need disciplined sections without hallucinated statistics or sample sizes.1.1kinstalls9Nature Academic SearchNature Academic Search packages a local MCP-backed academic search server and Claude Code skill installer so solo builders and researchers can trigger literature search, reference checking, deduplication, and citation export without leaving the agent. The SKILL.md defines mcpServers configuration using uv run against academic_search_server.py, enabledMcpjsonServers entries, and priority-5 triggers spanning Chinese and English intents such as verify DOI, export RIS, BibTeX, PMID, and MeSH-style query building. Install.sh wires the server under the user’s Claude directory, sets PubMed email, and places the skill where agents can invoke it. It is best thought of as research infrastructure for agents writing docs, validating claims, or preparing manuscripts—not a general web search replacement. Expect network access to scholarly APIs and straightforward uv/Python setup.1kinstalls
