SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Adding defensible citations to academic manuscripts is slow and error-prone: claims must be isolated, relevant papers found within strict journal scopes, and reference metadata exported without missing or malformed author fields. This Skill automates that pipeline from raw text to an importable reference file. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Claim Segmentation and Search: Splits manuscript passages into stable claim units (S001, S002...), builds English search queries, and searches Crossref and PubMed restricted to Nature Portfolio, the Science family, and Cell Press titles. - Conservative Support Grading: Labels each candidate as strong, partial, background, limiting, or metadata-only support, and never treats a title match as evidence without abstract or publisher-page checks. - Reference-Manager Export with Author Integrity Gate: Exports RIS (default), ENW, or Zotero RDF, blocking records with missing, surname-only, or incomplete author metadata and refetching by PMID when needed. - Use Case: Paste an introduction paragraph and ask for Nature-series citations from the last five years; receive a segment-to-reference mapping table, an interactive HTML browser for filtering candidates, and a references.ris file ready for EndNote import. ## Quick Start Use the nature-citation skill to split this manuscript paragraph into claims, find supporting Nature/Science/Cell papers from the last five years, and export the results as a RIS file for EndNote.

Frequently Asked Questions about nature-citation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add Nature or CNS citations to a manuscript paragraph automatically?

Paste the paragraph and specify the journal scope such as Nature series, CNS, or flagship only. The skill segments the text into claims, searches Crossref and PubMed within the accepted journal families, and returns a segment-to-reference mapping with an exportable RIS file.

What reference export formats does the citation script support?

The script exports RIS by default, with ENW and Zotero RDF as alternatives selected via the --format flag or output file suffix. RIS files import into EndNote using the Reference Manager (RIS) import option.

Can I restrict citation search to only Nature, Science, and Cell flagship journals?

Yes, use the flagship scope (--scope flagship) to limit candidates to Nature, Science, and Cell only. Other scopes cover Nature Portfolio, the Science family, Cell Press, or all CNS families including subjournals.

Why does the citation export fail with an author integrity error?

The exporter blocks records where any author lacks a family name or given name, since surname-only entries are not EndNote-ready. Refetch the record by PMID from PubMed or verify against the publisher page; --allow-incomplete-authors exists only as an explicit override.

How does the skill handle long manuscripts with many claims?

Inputs producing more than about 10 segments switch to a batched strategy using --batch-size or --max-segments, writing incremental exports that are merged and deduplicated by DOI. Results are summarized in a compact table with an HTML browser for review.

Does the skill guarantee a suggested paper actually supports my claim?

No. Candidates are graded conservatively from strong support down to metadata-only, and metadata-only candidates must be checked against the abstract or publisher page before citing. Evidence mismatches, such as a different mechanism or population, are flagged explicitly.
