SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

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

What problem does it solve?

It turns manuscript text or claims into defensible Nature/CNS-family citation exports by segmenting long input and matching each segment to reference-manager-ready records.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Segment-level citation mapping: splits passages into stable IDs (e.g., S001, S002) and preserves which exact segment each citation candidate supports.
  • Strict Nature/Science/Cell scope control: filters results to Nature Portfolio, the AAAS Science family, and Cell Press, with an optional flagship-only mode.
  • Evidence grading for safer citation: assigns support grades (strong/partial/background/limiting/metadata-only) and discourages overclaiming.
  • Reference-manager export by default: generates ENW, RIS, or Zotero RDF outputs suitable for importing into citation managers.
  • Long-article batch strategy and review artifacts: supports batched processing with partial checkpoints and can produce an HTML visualization for manual screening.

Quick Start

Use the nature-citation skill to segment the provided paragraph, generate Nature/CNS citation candidates, and export a references.enw file.

Frequently Asked Questions about nature-citation

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I export Nature or CNS-ready references from manuscript text?

To export CNS-ready references from manuscript text, you segment the input into stable IDs, search with concept-based queries, filter to Nature/Science/Cell scope, and output an ENW, RIS, or Zotero RDF file.

How does segment mapping work for long-text citation workflows?

Segment mapping for long-text workflows splits passages into stable IDs like S001 or S002, preserving which exact segment each citation candidate supports to maintain clear text-to-reference correspondence.

Can I filter bibliographic search results to only Nature Portfolio, Science family, and Cell Press journals?

Yes, you can filter bibliographic search results strictly to Nature Portfolio, AAAS Science family, and Cell Press journals, with an optional flagship-only mode to further restrict the citation scope.

What is the best way to manage citation export for long articles without losing track of evidence?

The best way to manage citation export for long articles is using batched processing with partial checkpoints, while applying conservative support grades like strong, partial, or background to prevent overclaiming evidence.

Does this citation export workflow support generating Zotero RDF files for reference managers?

Yes, this citation export workflow supports generating Zotero RDF files by default, alongside ENW and RIS formats, making the output directly suitable for importing into standard reference managers.

Why assign evidence grading like strong or partial when mapping citations to manuscript segments?

Assigning evidence grading like strong, partial, or limiting when mapping citations discourages overclaiming, ensuring that each manuscript segment is matched to defensible, conservatively graded reference records.
