nature-data is a skill that drafts Nature-ready Data Availability statements, repository plans, dataset citations, and FAIR metadata checklists from versioned static fragments.

About

nature-data prepares Data Availability statements and supporting metadata for Nature-family and general academic submissions through a static and dynamic two-layer router. Every invocation loads manifest.yaml plus always_load fragments: stance, chinese-mode, and an eight-step workflow from static/core without applying logic from memory. Runtime variation covers journal or article type conflicts, per-dataset access routes such as public repository, controlled access, within paper, reused public, third-party restricted, justified request, or not applicable, and Chinese-to-English drafting with a verification block when users write in Chinese. The workflow inventories supporting datasets, classifies each access route, chooses repository and identifier strategy before drafting, maps datasets to locations explicitly, adds formal dataset citations, runs a FAIR metadata audit, and returns ready-to-paste text plus unresolved fields. Deep references under references/ load on demand for policy principles, repository identifiers, statement patterns, FAIR checklists, and Chinese author alignment. The skill forbids inventing DOIs, accession numbers, repository names, licences, embargo dates, o.

  • Router loads manifest.yaml and three always_load core fragments before any drafting logic.
  • Eight-step workflow: journal ID, dataset inventory, access route classification, repository strategy, draft, citations,
  • Seven access routes from public repository through controlled access to not applicable.
  • On-demand references for policy, repositories, statement patterns, FAIR checklist, and Chinese alignment.
  • Forbids inventing DOIs, accession numbers, licences, or embargo dates; flags weak upon-request wording.

How do I write a Nature data availability statement with correct repository routes, dataset citations, and FAIR metadata without inventing identifiers?

Draft Nature-ready Data Availability statements, repository plans, dataset citations, and FAIR metadata checklists for manuscript submission.

Who is it for?

Authors preparing Nature-family or general journal submissions who need structured data-sharing statements and Chinese-to-English alignment.

Skip if: Skip when you need fabricated DOIs or accession numbers, or journal-specific rules you have not supplied for conflict resolution.

When should I use this skill?

User asks about Nature data availability, research data sharing, repository selection, FAIR metadata, or Chinese data availability wording.

What you get

Ready-to-paste Data Availability text with dataset-to-location mapping, formal citations, FAIR audit results, and flagged unresolved fields.

  • Data Availability statement
  • Repository plan
  • FAIR metadata checklist

Nature Data Availability — Router

This skill is split into two layers:

  • A static layer under static/ that holds versioned, reusable content fragments (the default stance and source hierarchy, the Chinese-user operating mode, and the workflow with output format).
  • A dynamic layer (this file plus manifest.yaml) that loads the core every time and reaches for the deeper policy/repository/FAIR references only when a step needs them.

Do not try to apply the data-availability logic from memory or from this router. Always load fragments from disk as described below.

Routing protocol

Follow these four steps every time the skill is invoked.

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/chinese-mode.md — how to operate when the user writes in Chinese (accept Chinese, draft English, convert terms precisely).
  • 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, follow core/chinese-mode.md and add the 中文核对 block.

3. Run the workflow

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.

Why this split

  • The static layer is versioned and reviewable; the core stays small for a normal statement.
  • The dynamic layer keeps each invocation cheap: the policy, repository, and FAIR depth load only when a step needs them.
  • The router itself is short on purpose. Update fragments and references, not this file, when adding scope.
  • This structure mirrors nature-writing, nature-polishing, nature-reader, nature-paper2ppt, nature-figure, nature-citation, and nature-response.

FAQ

Does nature-data invent repository DOIs or accession numbers?

No. The skill forbids inventing DOIs, accession numbers, repository names, licences, embargo dates, or ethics approvals.

How does nature-data handle Chinese-speaking authors?

Follow core/chinese-mode.md: accept Chinese input, draft English statements, convert terms precisely, and add a Chinese verification block.

What files load on every nature-data invocation?

manifest.yaml plus static/core/stance.md, chinese-mode.md, and workflow.md listed under always_load.
