nature-portfolio

Shared author-guideline skill for Nature Portfolio research journals that food & nutrition researchers publish in: Nature, Nature Communications, Nature Microbiology, Nature Metabolism, Nature Sustainability, Nature Biotechnology, Nature Medicine, and Nature Reviews titles. Use to format or check a manuscript for a Nature-family journal — strict article-type word limits, unreferenced short abstracts, Nature superscript-numbered references (article titles required), display-item limits, Methods placement, reporting summary. (Nature Food and npj Science of Food are in the nature-food skill.) Triggers: submit to Nature, Nature Communications, Nature Microbiology, Nature Metabolism guidelines, Nature Portfolio formatting. Also fires when the user wants to publish on/in this journal, format a manuscript for it, or match its reference/citation style.

# Nature Portfolio Research Journals — Author Guideline Skill **Publisher:** Nature Portfolio · **Verified:** 2026-07 · Confirm each journal's own submission guidelines (limits differ by title/article type). Nature Food and npj Science of Food have their own skill (`nature-food`). ## Applies to (food/nutrition-relevant Nature journals) | Journal | Abbrev | Relevance | |---|---|---| | Nature | NATURE | Multidisciplinary flagship | | Nature Communications | NAT COMMUN | Multidisciplinary, open access | | Nature Microbiology | NAT MICROBIOL | Food/gut microbiology | | Nature Metabolism | NAT METAB | Nutrition & metabolism | | Nature Sustainability | NAT SUSTAIN | Food systems, sustainability | | Nature Biotechnology | NAT BIOTECHNOL | Food/agri biotech | | Nature Medicine | NAT MED | Clinical nutrition | | Nature Reviews (various) | NAT REV * | Reviews (commissioned) | ## Format (Nature style) - **References: superscript numbers** in order of citation; numbered list; **article titles required**. Include DOIs. > 12. Author, A. B. & Author, C. D. Title of the article. *Nat. Commun.* **15**, 1234 (2026). - **Abstract:** unreferenced; length by article type (e.g. Nature Article ≤150–200 words). Confirm per journal. - **Structure:** Title → Abstract → main text → **Methods after the main text** (not counted in the word limit) → References → Figure legends → Tables. - **Display items:** capped by article type (often ≤6–8); cite as `Fig. 1` in sequence. - **Mandatory:** data availability + code availability statements; **Reporting Summary**; competing interests; author contributions. - **Figures:** ≥300 dpi at final size; RGB; ~180 mm double column; accessible palette (avoid red/green as sole encoding). ## Formatting constraints ```yaml publisher: Nature Portfolio reference_style: nature-superscript-numbered require_article_titles: true abstract: unreferenced (length per article type) methods: after-main-text data_and_code_availability: required reporting_summary: required figure_dpi: 300 notes: "Nature Food + npj Science of Food -> nature-food skill" ```

food-ppt

Turn a food & nutrition review report, evidence brief, or manuscript into a fully EDITABLE PowerPoint (.pptx) that opens in PowerPoint / Keynote / Google Slides with every title, bullet, table, and figure as a native editable object — nothing flattened to an image. Converts the outputs of food-research, food-deep-research, food-paper, and food-pipeline (or any Word/PDF/Markdown/txt source) into a well-designed deck: it plans the outline, writes concise grounded slide text with presenter notes on every slide, places figures as movable picture objects, builds the .pptx via python-pptx, and QA-checks editability. Design informed by taste-skill. Use to make slides, a presentation, a PPT, or a deck from a report or paper. Triggers: make a PPT, create slides, presentation from my report, turn this review into slides, build a deck, PPTX from my paper, journal-club slides, conference presentation.

agri-ppt

Turn an agricultural-science review report, evidence brief, or manuscript into a fully EDITABLE PowerPoint (.pptx) — every title, bullet, table, and figure a native editable object, nothing flattened to an image. Same machinery as food-ppt, but for agricultural work: converts the outputs of agri-research, agri-deep-research, agri-paper, and agri-pipeline (or any Word/PDF/Markdown/txt source) into a well-designed, grounded slide deck with presenter notes on every slide. Never invents content beyond the source. Use to make slides, a presentation, a PPT, or a deck from an agricultural report or paper. Triggers: make a PPT for my agronomy paper, slides from my soil science review, presentation from my field-trial report, agricultural journal-club slides, build a deck from my crop research.

food-proposal

Master orchestrator for preparing research proposals and funding-application proposals in food, nutrition & agricultural science. Like food-pipeline, but for proposals: it resolves the target funding scheme's format first (headings, order, page/word limit, font, assessment criteria), then drafts from scratch (food-deep-research for the knowledge base, food-paper to write, food-review to review) or revises an existing draft after first understanding the field. Enforces the scheme's length limit and required headings and aligns content to the assessment criteria. Built-in schemes: ARC Discovery EOI, ARC Discovery Full Application, and the UoM Ag & Food project proposal; if a scheme isn't included it asks the user to upload the guideline and extracts the format. Triggers: write a grant proposal, ARC Discovery application, funding application, research proposal, project proposal, revise my grant, prepare an EOI.
