Nature Writing

Organization

nature_writing

Draft, restructure, or plan Nature-style manuscript sections from author-provided claims, results, figures, notes, or Chinese drafts. Use when the user wants to write or rebuild an abstract, introduction, related-work, method, experiments, discussion, conclusion, title, or full manuscript argument rather than only polish finished prose. Also trigger on general academic-writing requests even without the word "Nature", such as writing a paper from scratch, drafting a manuscript/section, structuring a paper, and Chinese phrasings like 学术写作、科研写作、论文写作、写论文、写paper、SCI写作、帮我写论文、搭论文框架、起草论文、写引言/摘要/讨论.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
62 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by ai4protein on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Nature Writing AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/ai4protein/VenusFactory2/tree/main/src/agent/skills/nature_writing
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ai4protein/VenusFactory2.git /tmp/VenusFactory2
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/VenusFactory2/src/agent/skills/nature_writing .claude/skills/nature_writing

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Nature Writing in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Nature Writing on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Nature Writing is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Nature-Style Scientific Writing — Router

VenusFactory execution

skill_id: nature_writing. Load manifest.yaml and static/ fragments via read_skill(..., relative_path=...).
For polishing finished English prose, prefer nature_polishing.

This skill is split into two layers:

A static layer under static/ that holds versioned, reusable content fragments (core stance + workflow, paper-type playbooks, per-section drafting guidance, language-specific rules, per-journal style).
A dynamic layer (this file plus manifest.yaml) that detects the request's axes and loads only the fragments needed for the current job.

Do not try to apply the drafting logic from memory or from this router. Always load fragments from disk as described below.

Routing protocol

Follow these five steps every time the skill is invoked.

1. Load the manifest and the core layer

Read manifest.yaml. It declares the axes (paper_type, section, language, journal), the allowed values, and the file paths each value maps to.

Also read every file listed under always_load. These hold the default stance, writing workflow, and output format that apply to every drafting job.

2. Detect the axis values for this request

For each axis in the manifest, decide the value using the manifest's detect: hint and the user's input:

paper_type — research / methods / hypothesis / algorithmic / review. Default: research.
section — abstract / intro / related-work / method / experiments / discussion / conclusion / title. May be multiple. Ask the user if it is ambiguous and matters for the draft.
language — en or zh-to-en. Detect from the user's notes themselves.
journal — nature / nat-comms / generic. Default: generic. If the user names a Nature subjournal, treat it as nature.

State the detected axis values in one short line to the user before drafting, so they can correct you cheaply.

3. Load the matching fragments

For each axis value, Read the file mapped in the manifest. Skip the section axis only when the user has explicitly asked for a free-floating argument paragraph with no section context.

Do not read every fragment in static/. Load only what step 2 selected.

4. Draft using the loaded material

Apply the loaded fragments in this priority order:

Core stance + intake (core/stance.md) — surface missing claim / evidence / boundary before drafting.
Paper-type playbook — argument chain, drafting order.
Section-specific drafting rules and structure.
Journal-specific framing and constraints.
Language-specific sentence and paragraph rules (apply last).

Run the 8-step workflow in core/workflow.md end-to-end. Do not skip steps 1-3 (planning) just because the user asked for prose immediately — write the one-sentence argument first.

If essential evidence or boundary is missing, write a placeholder and list it under Assumptions or missing inputs: instead of inventing content.

5. Reach for references only when needed

The files under references/ are deep references and the example library, not defaults. Open them on demand per the references.on_demand table in the manifest. Typical triggers:

The user asks for a concrete example or template → references/examples/index.md.
A section's draft has structural problems that the section fragment alone does not explain → the matching references/<section>.md.
The user needs a broad-audience Nature abstract opening or asks about a summary paragraph → references/nature-summary-paragraph.md.
The user asks "does this paragraph flow?" → references/paragraph-flow.md.
The user asks for a self-review or rejection-risk audit → references/paper-review.md.

Why this split

The static layer is versioned and reviewable. Adding a new journal style, paper type, or section is one new file plus one manifest line.
The dynamic layer keeps each invocation cheap: only the fragments relevant to this draft enter context, instead of the full multi-thousand-line reference set.
The router itself is short on purpose. Update fragments, not this file, when adding scope.
This structure mirrors nature-polishing so shared content can later be lifted into a _shared/ layer used by both skills.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Nature Writing AI skill do?

Why use Nature Writing on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Nature Writing is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Nature Writing in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/ai4protein/VenusFactory2/tree/main/src/agent/skills/nature_writing. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Nature Writing?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Nature Writing?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Nature Writing with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Nature Writing AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by ai4protein under the Unknown license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
