SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Multiple Nature-related writing and polishing skills need the same paper-type taxonomy, ethics rules, terminology standards, and journal formatting facts; this package centralizes those shared references so they stay consistent and are maintained in one place. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Shared Core References: Supplies paper-type taxonomy, reader workflow, ethics and AI-use boundaries, research-compliance routing, terminology ledger, and consistency-sweep methodology consumed by sibling nature-* skills. - Journal Format Facts: Holds authoritative submission rules for Nature, Nature Communications, and Nature Machine Intelligence, including word limits, display budgets, and reporting requirements. - Consistency Checker Script: Includes scripts/check_consistency.py, which mechanically flags terminology variants, numeric precision mismatches, and equivalent lengths in different units. - Use Case: When the nature-writing skill formats a manuscript for Nature Machine Intelligence, it loads journal-formats/nature-machine-intelligence.md from this package to apply the correct 3,500-word limit and six-display-item budget. ## Quick Start Ask your installed Nature writing or polishing skill to format or audit a manuscript for a specific Nature Portfolio journal, and it will load the matching shared reference file from this package automatically.

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

FAQPage Schema
What is the nature-shared package used for?

It is a shared dependency package for nature-* skills such as nature-writing and nature-polishing. It stores common references like paper-type taxonomy, ethics rules, and journal formatting facts so sibling skills load one consistent copy instead of duplicating content.

How do I check a manuscript for terminology and unit inconsistencies?

Run scripts/check_consistency.py on your manuscript files with optional --term-group arguments. It reports terminology variants, equal numbers printed at different precisions, and equivalent lengths written in different units as warnings for manual review.

Can I use nature-shared as a standalone writing skill?

No. Its SKILL.md and manifest explicitly state it is not a standalone workflow and should not be invoked directly. It only supplies specific reference files when another installed Nature skill requests them.

Which journals does the formatting guidance cover?

The journal-formats directory covers the flagship Nature journal, Nature Communications, and Nature Machine Intelligence. Each file records article types, word limits, display budgets, reference caps, and submission-stage rules verified against official pages.

Does the consistency script edit my manuscript automatically?

No. The script only emits warnings with file and line evidence, optionally as JSON or with a failing exit code. Every finding requires human review because identical numbers or terms may reflect legitimate distinctions.
