description	Check academic drafts against target-journal style and submission expectations. Use when the user mentions a target journal, asks for abstract or highlights formatting, wants title or keyword guidance, or needs cross-section consistency checks before submission.

Paper Journal Style

Overview

Use this skill for journal-specific constraints and submission-facing polish, not for full prose rewriting. Load the smallest reference that matches the user's journal and requested deliverable.

Workflow

1. Identify the journal, manuscript section, and requested deliverable:
   • Abstract
   • Highlights
   • Title
   • Keywords
   • Whole-paper consistency check
2. Read references/checklist.md.
3. If the user names a supported journal, read the matching file under references/journals/.
4. Produce journal-facing output:
   • A requirement checklist when the user asks for compliance checking
   • A concise revised deliverable when the user asks for a title, abstract, or highlights draft
   • A consistency report when the user asks for terminology, number, or claim alignment
5. If the user also wants heavy rewriting, route the prose rewrite to paper-refine, paper-refine-special-en, or paper-refine-special-zh and use this skill only for the journal layer.

Deliverable Rules

• Keep journal requirements separate from language rewrite advice.
• State clearly which items are confirmed from the provided draft and which still require author verification.
• Preserve numbers, datasets, model names, citations, and claim boundaries unless the user explicitly asks to revise them.
• When the current journal guide is not available locally, provide a conservative checklist and tell the user to verify final submission constraints against the journal's latest author instructions.

Reference Routing

• General intake, consistency, and submission checks: references/checklist.md
• CEUS-specific guidance: references/journals/ceus.md

Output Patterns

• Compliance check: short checklist with pass / needs revision / missing information
• Highlights request: 3-5 concise bullets in action-result style unless the journal file says otherwise
• Abstract check: report scope coverage, evidence-to-claim alignment, terminology stability, and likely overlength risk
• Cross-section consistency: compare title, abstract, introduction, results, conclusion, and highlights for number drift or claim drift
