writing-qmd-scientific

What problem does it solve?

It solves the problem of producing scientific Quarto (.qmd) documents that are inconsistent, hard to follow, or difficult to reproduce by enforcing a strict structure for both explanation and code.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Bullet-only scientific prose: Forces every explanation outside code chunks to be bullet points with nested details, avoiding paragraph-style narratives
• Self-contained, runnable sections: Requires each section to combine rationale/methodology with independent code chunks so readers can jump and run
• Reproducible QMD execution standards: Applies consistent chunk options using hashpipe (#|) syntax, deterministic formatting conventions, and post-code parameter/result documentation
• Project-aligned workflow conventions: Aligns code chunk structure with the writing-r-code pattern (Libraries → Inputs → Processing → Outputs) and expects checkpoint-based input/output naming and relative paths
• Use cases: Scientific analysis pipelines, bioinformatics workflows, and documentation that must be readable, reviewable, and reproducible for others

Quick Start

Use the writing-qmd-scientific skill to structure your Quarto scientific notebook by ensuring all prose is bullet-based and all code chunks use hashpipe options with parameter tables and result summaries after each block.
