scientific-writing

combined

Drafts, revises, and audits scientific manuscripts or reports with explicit evidence provenance, reporting-guideline coverage, authorship accountability, confidentiality controls, and local consistency checks. Use for manuscript sections, references, declarations, tables, figures, or submission preparation when scientific accuracy and traceability matter. Core skill for the deep research and writing tool. Write scientific manuscripts in full paragraphs (never bullet points). Use two-stage process with (1) section outlines with key points using research-lookup then (2) convert to flowing prose. IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA), for research papers and journal submissions.

When to use

• Produce clear scientific prose without inventing evidence or concealing uncertainty. Keep drafting, evidence verification, and submission approval as separate stages. The accountable human authors control scientific decisions and final app…
• Writing or revising any section of a scientific manuscript (abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion)
• Structuring a research paper using IMRAD or other standard formats
• Formatting citations and references in specific styles (APA, AMA, Vancouver, Chicago, IEEE)
• Creating, formatting, or improving figures, tables, and data visualizations
• Applying study-specific reporting guidelines (CONSORT for trials, STROBE for observational studies, PRISMA for reviews)
• Drafting abstracts that meet journal requirements (structured or unstructured)
• Preparing manuscripts for submission to specific journals

When not to use

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

Conflict

The copies overlap on IMRAD structure, citation styles, and reporting guidelines, but they disagree on scope and mandatory steps. K-Dense-AI/scientific-agent-skills focuses on evidence provenance, confidentiality, and local consistency checks without requiring visual generation. foryourhealth111-pixel/Vibe-Skills explicitly excludes generating visual assets. brycewang-stanford/Auto-Empirical-Research-Skills mandates the generation of graphical abstracts and multiple figures using specific scripts. sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills is a thin wrapper that defers to a detailed guide. Because one copy forbids what another mandates, and the others provide unique procedural constraints (evidence binding vs. visual generation), no single copy is the authentic procedure for all.
