Nature-Style Academic Polishing

Use this skill to improve scientific writing at two levels:

  • main strategy: paper architecture, section logic, reader workflow, evidence thresholds, and ethics
  • reference support: reusable phrase families, move patterns, transitions, and style checks

The main strategy should come from the course notes in Chapter1-Week1-7. The reference wording layer should come from Academic Phrasebank.

Default stance

  • Language serves argument. Do not polish sentences while leaving the reasoning broken.
  • Write with empathy for the reader: relevance first, then novelty, then trust, then reuse, then meaning.
  • There should be no mystery for the writer, but there may be one for the reader.
  • Do not invent data, references, mechanisms, or novelty claims.
  • Do not let AI draft the paper's core scientific argument from scratch.
  • If the draft is Chinese or structurally rough, reconstruct the logic first and the prose second.
  • Avoid em dashes in polished output by default. Prefer commas, parentheses, or full stops. Use colons sparingly unless the user explicitly asks to preserve dash-based punctuation or wants a colon-led style.
