Nature Skills: a reusable toolkit for research

Об этом Skill

Nature Skills is a community-maintained repository founded by Yizhe Yuan. It organizes research tasks as full Skill folders, from finding and reading papers through drafting, figures, statistical reporting and reviewer responses. Each workflow has its own instructions and supporting files. This collection lists 22 user-facing Skills from the reviewed repository; nature-shared supplies shared references.

Почему мы его выбрали

Separate, task-focused workflows cover the research cycle, with source checks, editable deliverables and shared references. This listing follows the repository’s 22 triggerable Skills; nature-shared is documented as a supporting dependency.

Для каких задач подходит

• Researchers reading papers, checking references and preparing manuscript drafts.
• Research groups preparing scientific figures, journal-club slides and review responses.
• Teams organizing literature discovery, research proposals and experiment records.

Install the selected Skill and its dependencies

The npx installer needs Node.js 18+. List the frontmatter names first, then choose the workflow. For a reader installation, include nature-shared. Omit --global for the current project or add it when you want an installation shared across projects. Restart the agent session after installing.

Runtime tools and external costs

The repository files are free to access. Agent subscriptions, model calls, image services and licensed databases have separate access requirements or costs. Python/R plotting, PowerPoint reconstruction and patent document tools need their respective local dependencies. Academic Search may require PUBMED_EMAIL or provider credentials; Downloader requires authorized access for protected sources.

The upstream index marks workflows Stable, Beta or Draft. Those are upstream development labels. Generated scientific claims, figures, translations and references still require the researcher’s review.

The first image is the requested repository banner. The second is the supplied Nature Figure web interface screenshot showing a three-panel ROC figure and download choices. It illustrates the author’s web product; this catalog entry links to the open-source repository and does not bundle or test that separate hosted service.

Перед использованием

• An agent that can read complete local Skill directories and run the tools required by the selected workflow. Upstream documents Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode and Hermes integrations.
• Keep the whole Skill folder, including scripts, references and assets. Preserve the sibling nature-shared package whenever the workflow references it.
• Model access, Python/R packages, MCP services, browser logins and external API credentials are configured separately when required. Installing Skill files does not install these dependencies.
