Find papers from Nature or a specified Cell, Nature, and Science journal group to support manuscript claims. Check abstracts or publisher pages, map sources to individual claims, and export verified reference details for reference managers.
Find and verify Nature/CNS-family literature supporting manuscript claims, with claim-to-source mapping and reference-manager export. Use for Nature系列引用、CNS支撑文献、分段补引用 when this journal scope is requested; use broader literature search for unrestricted sources.

See how to installnature-citation finds papers within a specified Nature-family or CNS-related journal scope to support claims in a manuscript. It breaks the text into claims, checks candidate papers against their abstracts or publisher pages, and records which sources support which claims. It also verifies bibliographic details, such as author information, and exports a file that can be imported into reference management software.
Use it when you need citations for individual paragraphs, want to check whether a candidate paper actually supports a claim, or need to limit a literature search to selected journals. It can also help review a long manuscript in sections and organize verified references for later use.
Specify the journal scope and the search period. Searching with the included script requires an internet connection. A paper is not treated as evidence just because its title sounds relevant, and missing bibliographic details are not invented. For searches without a journal restriction, use a broader literature search.

For a new task, load the core and matching resources below. Reuse already loaded guidance on follow-ups; load more only when the task needs it.
Read manifest.yaml. Then read every file listed under always_load:
static/core/principles.md — what the skill produces, the strict journal scope, the source hierarchy, and the search-quality rules.static/core/workflow.md — the seven-step workflow and the final report format.Unlike the other nature-* skills, nature-citation has no fragment axis. Its variation is runtime parameters, not different content bodies:
Nature系列 / CNS / CNS及子刊 / flagship-only. Read it from the user's wording (see core/principles.md) and pass it to the script as --scope.static/core/chinese-mode.md (Chinese notes, English search queries).references/script-usage.md.State the detected scope and date limits in one short line before searching.
Follow the seven steps in core/workflow.md: segment, parse, search, evaluate support conservatively, validate complete structured author metadata, export one reference-manager file, and generate review artifacts when useful. Put the HTML browser path first only when it was generated. Prefer scripts/nature_citation.py for the search/export when internet access is available; open references/script-usage.md for its full flag list and the long-article batch strategy. When DOI metadata lacks given names, refetch the record by PMID or verify it against the publisher rather than exporting surname-only AU fields.
Never present a paper as support merely because its title is related, and never cite a metadata-only candidate without checking the abstract or publisher page. Do not invent missing bibliographic fields.
The files under references/ are deep references, not defaults. Open them on demand per the references.on_demand table in the manifest:

Search academic literature across sources, verify references, and convert citation files. Build PubMed queries using MeSH, its subject vocabulary, or audit citations to distinguish independent citations and document who cited a paper and how.
Draft or review manuscript statements explaining where data and code can be accessed. Organize repository choices, access restrictions, identifiers, and dataset citations, and check metadata that helps others find and reuse the research data.
Retrieve academic full texts and supporting files through open access, publisher APIs, or authorized institutional access. The skill selects a route for each paper, checks downloaded files, and records sources, formats, and download outcomes.
Organize experiment photos, audio, and notes into Markdown logs with structured metadata. Assign experiment and sample batch IDs, archive original attachments, and optionally connect records to Feishu group messages or an Obsidian notebook.
Create, revise, and export scientific figures for manuscripts using Python or R. Check panel alignment and overlapping elements, or prepare editable diagrams and explicitly requested AI-generated graphical abstracts that visually summarize a paper.
Rebuild slide images, screenshots, scanned PDFs, or image-only presentations as editable PowerPoint files. Reconstruct text and simple shapes as separate objects, retain complex visuals as image assets where needed, and check rendered slides against their sources.
