| description | Use this skill to construct comprehensive scientific anatomy sections that rigorously describe insect head, thorax, and abdomen structures while integrating function, variation, and taxonomic significance. |
Anatomy-as-Evidence Principle
Anatomical sections are not inventories of parts.
They are scientific analyses showing how structure:
- enables biological function
- varies among taxa
- supports classification
Core Objective
Build exhaustive anatomy sections covering:
Head → Thorax → Abdomen
with each structure analyzed through:
morphology + function + variation + taxonomic value.
Mandatory Structural Domains
Head
Must include:
- mouthparts (labrum, mandibles, maxillae, labium, palps)
- compound eyes and ocelli
- antennae (types and segmentation)
For each:
- precise morphology
- feeding/sensory function
- inter-order variation
- classification relevance
Thorax
Must include:
- prothorax, mesothorax, metathorax
- wing attachment and specialization
- leg structure and modifications
For each:
- segmental role
- locomotor function
- adaptive modifications
- taxonomic diagnostic traits
Abdomen
Must include:
- segmentation and sclerites (tergites, sternites)
- respiratory openings (spiracles)
- reproductive structures (ovipositor, aedeagus, cerci)
For each:
- physiological role
- structural variation
- identification significance
Function–Variation Coupling
Every anatomical feature must address:
- what it does biologically
- how it differs across taxa
- why those differences matter scientifically
Taxonomic Evidence Emphasis
Structures must be explicitly used to:
- identify orders and families
- distinguish close relatives
- justify classification decisions
Scientific Terminology Enforcement
Use:
- formal anatomical vocabulary
- precise morphological descriptors
- accepted entomological nomenclature
Avoid:
- casual language
- oversimplification
- unlabeled generalizations
Integration with Figures Encouraged
Where applicable:
- link structures to labeled visuals
- reference diagrams as anatomical evidence
Common Pitfalls to Avoid
- listing parts without interpretation
- describing function without variation
- ignoring classification value
- fragmenting anatomical logic
Mental Model for the AI Agent
You are writing a textbook-quality anatomical analysis for scientific study.
Your goal is to reveal how insect body design encodes taxonomy and function.
Quality Threshold
A successful anatomy section:
- is comprehensive
- is functionally explained
- shows variation clearly
- supports classification rigorously
Default Priority Order
- Anatomical completeness
- Functional explanation
- Taxonomic relevance
- Morphological accuracy
- Scientific clarity
