SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires python, requests, and includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) and assets (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you convert messy research notes and literature findings into clear, correctly structured scientific manuscripts that meet common scholarly expectations for citations, reporting completeness, and figure/table integration.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • IMRAD section writing: Drafts Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion using a consistent scientific flow.
  • Two-stage drafting workflow: Produces section outlines first (research-lookup backed) and then expands them into full paragraphs.
  • Citation and reporting alignment: Supports APA/AMA/Vancouver-style citation work and encourages adherence to reporting guidelines such as CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA.
  • Figures and tables integration: Guides creation of publication-quality figures/tables with captions, units, and readability principles.
  • Mandatory scientific visuals: Requires a graphical abstract plus at least one additional schematic/figure for scientific papers.

Quick Start

Use the scientific-writing skill to write an IMRAD-style manuscript section for a research paper titled “Traffic-flow optimization for campus micro-mobility,” ensuring full flowing paragraphs with appropriately placed citations and figure/table references.

FAQPage Schema
How do I draft a scientific manuscript using IMRAD structure from research notes?▼

Drafting an IMRAD scientific manuscript involves a two-stage workflow that first generates section outlines from research inputs, then expands them into flowing paragraphs for the introduction, methods, results, and discussion.

What is the best way to format citations and align with reporting guidelines for a research paper?▼

Formatting citations for a research paper is handled by supporting APA, AMA, and Vancouver styles, while the writing process encourages adherence to reporting guidelines like CONSORT, STROBE, and PRISMA for submission readiness.

Can I use this workflow to plan figures, tables, and graphical abstracts for journal submission?▼

Yes, planning figures and tables for journal submission is supported, guiding the creation of publication-quality visuals with proper captions, units, and a mandatory graphical abstract plus at least one schematic.

Do I need to format my manuscript text without bullet points for publication-ready scientific writing?▼

Yes, publication-ready scientific writing enforces full flowing paragraph output throughout the manuscript text, strictly avoiding bullet points in the final draft to meet standard scholarly formatting expectations.

How does the two-stage drafting workflow handle research inputs and literature findings?▼

The two-stage drafting workflow processes research inputs and literature findings by producing research-lookup backed section outlines first, then expanding those outlines into complete, integrated manuscript paragraphs.
