| description | Use this skill to transform biological content into rigorously supported scientific narratives where every claim is backed by evidence and consistent peer-reviewed citations in APA format. |
Evidence-First Writing Principle
No biological statement stands alone.
Every assertion must follow:
claim → supporting evidence → scholarly citation
Core Objective
Convert descriptive or explanatory text into:
- scientifically defensible arguments
- fully citation-supported statements
- academically formatted references
Mandatory Claim Structure
Each biological claim must include:
- Clear scientific assertion
- Morphological, functional, or empirical support
- In-text citation from peer-reviewed or authoritative sources
Example logic:
trait explanation → experimental or literature evidence → citation
Citation Coverage Rule
Citations are required for:
- taxonomic classifications
- anatomical functions
- life cycle descriptions
- behavioral interpretations
- ecological or forensic relevance
No exceptions.
APA Consistency Enforcement
All references must:
- follow APA style uniformly
- match in-text citations exactly
- include complete bibliographic data
No mixed formats allowed.
In-Text Citation Discipline
Use:
- author + year format
- multiple citations when appropriate
- chronological or alphabetical grouping when needed
Avoid:
- missing years
- inconsistent author naming
- uncited paragraphs
Reference Coherence Check
Ensure:
- every in-text citation appears in bibliography
- no unused references exist
- formatting is standardized
Evidence Quality Filter
Prefer:
- peer-reviewed journals
- academic textbooks
- authoritative scientific institutions
Reject:
- blogs
- unsourced websites
- popular media
Narrative Flow Preservation
Citations must:
- integrate naturally into scientific prose
- support arguments without disrupting readability
No citation dumping.
Claim Density Control
Aim for:
- high evidence density
- minimal unsupported explanation
Scientific writing must be verifiable.
Common Failure Prevention
Never:
- state biological facts without sources
- rely on a single weak reference for major claims
- mix citation styles
- separate evidence from the claim it supports
Mental Model for the AI Agent
You are writing for peer review.
Every sentence must survive expert scrutiny.
If it cannot be cited — it cannot be stated.
Quality Threshold
A successful narrative:
- has no unsupported claims
- uses consistent APA formatting
- flows as a scientific argument
- is fully reproducible by references
Default Priority Order
- Evidence accuracy
- Citation rigor
- APA consistency
- Scientific clarity
- Narrative coherence
