scientific-writing

SUMMARY

What it does

This skill provides procedural guidance for drafting, revising, and auditing scientific manuscripts or reports. It enforces evidence provenance by requiring every factual claim to map to verified evidence IDs, and it mandates human verification of sources. It includes local, offline scripts for scaffolding manuscripts, validating manifests, auditing claims, checking consistency, validating references, validating authorship, and linting manuscripts. The skill emphasizes confidentiality, prohibiting external transfer of unpublished or sensitive material without authorization. It also covers reporting guideline selection (e.g., CONSORT, PRISMA) and non-scoring coverage recording. The skill does not generate images or schematics and does not provide a polished template to avoid shipping plausible placeholders. All bundled scripts are local, deterministic, dependency-free, and network-free. The skill requires Python 3.11+ only for optional CLI scripts; core guidance is platform-neutral.
