nature-workflow

description

Use when the user explicitly asks for Nature Skills, nature-skills, Nature style, Nature-style, Nature Communications, Nature-family, CNS, high-impact journal, or Springer Nature workflows, including Nature figure work, polishing, writing, reviewer critique, high-impact journal major revision response, Nature/CNS citations, Nature data-sharing workflows, paper readers, reviewer response, paper-to-PPT, submission checklist, or Nature-specific academic-search workflows.

Nature Workflow Bridge

This skill is a bridge to the upstream nature-skills bundle, not a simplified clone of it. Its job is to route the user's request to the right original nature-* skill when that skill is installed or otherwise available, and to fall back to ScholarAIO's existing skills only when the original upstream skill cannot be used in the current host.

Direct-Use Policy

Use the original upstream nature-* skill directly whenever it is available. Do not emulate, summarize, or partially rewrite upstream behavior from this bridge. Do not copy only SKILL.md from upstream; direct use requires the whole skill directory, including manifest.yaml, static/, references/, scripts, assets, and skills/_shared when the upstream skill references it.

If the upstream skill is unavailable, say so, then use the ScholarAIO fallback route from references/upstream-skill-map.md. Mark the output as a ScholarAIO fallback, not as an upstream-equivalent Nature Skills result.

Reference Loading

Load only what the current request needs:

• references/upstream-skill-map.md: load for routing decisions or when the request could match more than one upstream skill.
• references/bridge-policy.md: load when installation, direct-use behavior, upstream fidelity, or fallback limitations matter.
• references/upstream-install.md: load when the user needs the original upstream nature-* skills installed or asks whether this bridge is a simplified local copy.
• references/quickstart.md: load when the user asks how to use the bridge or wants example prompts.

First Pass

Classify the request before doing work:

1. Upstream target: one or more of nature-figure, nature-polishing, nature-writing, nature-reviewer, nature-citation, nature-data, nature-reader, nature-response, nature-paper2ppt, or nature-academic-search.
2. Availability: original upstream skill available, installed through a plugin/local skill path, or unavailable.
3. ScholarAIO fallback: only if upstream cannot be used.
4. Evidence state: manuscript/text/PDF/figures/comments/data/references supplied, workspace available, or missing inputs.

State the upstream target and whether direct upstream use is available before doing substantial work.

Route Table

User intent	Primary route
Nature/high-impact scientific figure, publication plot, manuscript figure, figures4papers-style output	nature-figure
Nature-style polishing, manuscript prose polish, Chinese-to-English academic polish	nature-polishing
Draft/rebuild abstract, introduction, methods, experiments, discussion, conclusion, title, or manuscript argument	nature-writing
Pre-submission reviewer critique, mock peer review, Nature-style reviewer report	nature-reviewer
Nature/CNS citation support, claim-to-reference mapping, reference-manager export	nature-citation
Data Availability, repository plan, FAIR metadata, accession/DOI/source-data/code availability	nature-data
Full-paper bilingual reader, source-grounded Markdown reader, paper translation/reading	nature-reader
Reviewer comments, rebuttal, point-by-point response letter, major/minor revision response	nature-response
Paper-to-PPT, Chinese journal-club PPTX, group meeting deck from a paper	nature-paper2ppt
Multi-source literature search, citation verification, MeSH/search strategy, citation-file management	nature-academic-search

Submission package is only one scenario. Do not require a full submission package when the user asks only for polishing, figures, reading, PPT, citation support, reviewer critique, Data Availability, response, or search.

ScholarAIO Fallbacks

When the original upstream skill is not available:

• figure work -> /draw
• prose polish -> /writing-polish
• manuscript writing -> /paper-writing
• reviewer response -> /review-response
• citation/search/export -> /search + /citation-check + /export
• paper reading/translation -> /show + /translate
• paper-to-PPT or document packaging -> /document
• literature search -> /search, plus host-native web search when current or external coverage is required

Use fallbacks conservatively. Preserve upstream-style guardrails such as non-invention, source grounding, explicit missing inputs, and final-output verification, but do not claim to have executed the original upstream workflow unless the original skill was actually used.

Output Shape

For routing tasks, return:

1. Upstream target: selected nature-* skill or skill sequence.
2. Mode: direct upstream use or ScholarAIO fallback.
3. Route: exact skill sequence.
4. Immediate next action: file to inspect, command to run, or question to ask.
5. Guardrails: only the relevant non-invention, source-grounding, or verification constraints for this request.
