SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of getting manuscript text into clear, reader-ready, publication-quality academic English while preserving scientific integrity, section logic, and evidence boundaries.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Paper-architecture first: Rebuilds the correct hourglass structure and writing order based on paper type (research vs. methods vs. hypothesis-based, etc.), so the paragraph performs the right rhetorical job.
  • Core-argument protection: Prevents invention or reshaping of the scientific claim; focuses on repairing gaps, claim-evidence alignment, and boundary/uncertainty language.
  • Phrase-level Nature-style support: Applies phrase families for hedging, transitions, section moves, and style guardrails (British spelling, register control, overclaim checks).
  • Chinese-to-English repair mode: Extracts propositions, reconstructs explicit logic (contrast/causality/implication), and translates with terminology and hedging validation.

Quick Start

Use the nature-polishing skill to polish the attached draft paragraph and make it consistent with Nature-leaning academic style and the correct section logic, while keeping the author’s scientific claims and evidence intact.
