Nature Portfolio Playbook

Overview

Use this skill when the venue decision itself is still live, or when a manuscript already targets Nature, Nature Methods, or Nature Biotechnology and needs venue-specific framing before a heavy revision pass.

This skill is about fit and policy. It does not replace scientific-writing, manuscript-optimizer, or submission-audit.

When To Use

Use this skill when:

• the user asks whether a story fits Nature, Nature Methods, or Nature Biotechnology
• the paper has a Nature-style tone but the actual venue is undecided
• the contribution could be framed as an Article, Resource, Analysis, or short-format methods report
• a manuscript is close to submission and needs a Nature Portfolio-specific preflight
