What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a persistent ethics and compliance auditing backbone for scientific work, continuously scanning across manuscripts, data releases, software, patents, and competition materials to identify risks such as misrepresentation, privacy violations, copyright concerns, and inappropriate authorship practices, delivering auditable guidance.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Backbone for ongoing ethics checks that run across the full research lifecycle (from drafting to submission).
• Automated ethics review templates and risk logs derived from assets such as assets/ethics_review_template.md and assets/risk_checklist.md.
• Decision trees and CN compliance references to guide users through common risk scenarios (e.g., IRB/ethics approvals, data privacy, authorship disputes, and publishing ethics).
• Self-contained tooling for offline checks including retraction verification, text overlap screening, and quantitative consistency checks, all with auditable outputs.

Quick Start

Trigger this Skill at project milestones to automatically perform ethics & compliance checks on manuscripts, data, and software artifacts.
