SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Academic manuscripts often fail editorial triage because of weak argument structure, overclaimed results, AI-sounding phrasing, or Chinese-influenced English, and authors lack a systematic way to align prose with Nature-family journal expectations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Axis-based fragment routing: Detects paper type, section, language, and target journal (Nature, Nature Communications, Nature Machine Intelligence, or generic) and loads only the relevant style fragments from a manifest. - Chinese-to-English academic translation: Rebuilds logic and connectives from Chinese drafts before applying English sentence and paragraph rules, preserving terminology and citation intent. - Consistency and overclaim sweeps: Scans full manuscripts for terminology, unit, and numeric drift, and flags exaggerated claims, causal overreach, and AI-like phrasing. - LaTeX layout repair: Diagnoses loose float pages, stranded headings, and oversized figures via a dedicated typesetting reference with compile-and-render verification. - Use Case: A researcher pastes a Chinese Results paragraph and asks for a Nature-style English version; the skill detects zh-to-en language, research paper type, and results section, then returns polished prose with revision notes and risk flags. ## Quick Start Use nature-polishing to rewrite this abstract into concise Nature-style English without changing any facts or citations.

Frequently Asked Questions about nature-polishing

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I polish an academic abstract for Nature-style journals?

Provide the abstract text and target journal, and the skill restructures it into the context-gap-approach-result-implication pattern. It returns polished prose plus revision notes explaining structural and stylistic changes.

How to translate a Chinese research paper into publication-quality English?

The skill extracts core propositions from the Chinese draft first, rebuilds logical connectives, then applies English sentence rules. Technical terms, data, and citations are preserved exactly rather than paraphrased.

Does it support Nature Machine Intelligence formatting rules?

Yes, it routes NMI separately with its own limits: 3,500-word main text, 150-word abstract, six display items, and code-review disclosure. It does not apply flagship Nature constraints to NMI manuscripts.

Can it fix LaTeX figure placement and sparse pages?

Yes, a dedicated layout reference handles loose float pages, stranded headings, oversized floats, and multi-panel arrangement. It requires compiling and visually inspecting rendered pages before and after changes.

What are the limitations of AI-assisted manuscript polishing?

The skill never invents results, mechanisms, citations, or statistical significance, and it will not exaggerate novelty or causality. Structural problems that cannot be fixed without new content are flagged for the author instead.
