What this skill does
Scientific Writing Overview This is the core skill for the deep research and writing tool—combining AI-driven deep research with well-formatted written outputs. Every document produced is backed by comprehensive literature search and verified citations through the research-lookup skill. Scientific writing is a process for communicating research with precision and clarity. Write manuscripts using IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, and reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA). Apply this skill for research papers and journal submissions. Critical Principle: Always write in full paragraphs with flowing prose. Never submit bullet points in the final manuscript. Use a two-stage process: first create section outlines with key points using research-lookup, then convert those outlines into complete paragraphs. When to Use This Skill This skill should be used when: 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 Improving writing clarity, conciseness, and precision Ensuring proper use of field-specific terminology and nomenclature Addressing reviewer comments and revising manuscripts Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics ⚠️ MANDATORY: Every scientific paper MUST include a graphical abstract plus 1-2 additional AI-generated figures using the scientific-schematics skill. This is not optional. Scientific papers without visual elements are incomplete. Before finalizing any document: 1. …
