Automating supplementary information generation involves parsing manuscript.md to identify Figure S and Table S references, detecting unused figures, and consolidating everything into a structured supplementary.md document.

This Skill supports common journal formats including Nature, Science, ACS, IEEE, and Elsevier, ensuring the generated supplementary.md meets specific submission formatting requirements.

Cross-reference integrity is verified by checking figure and table numbering consistency between the main manuscript and supplementary information, outputting a detailed si_crossref_report.json for validation.

The pipeline detects unused figures by scanning the figures/ directory and comparing contents against manuscript references, automatically aggregating unreferenced files as supplementary figure candidates.

Preparing supplementary tables and methods requires a completed manuscript.md file, a figures/ directory containing image files, and supplementary data stored within a results/ directory for aggregation.

Consolidating supplementary methods and references is achieved by aggregating methods, figures, tables, and references into a unified manuscript/supplementary.md file with consistent numbering.
