nature-citation
Add strict Nature/CNS citations to manuscript text by splitting long passages into citable segments, searching only accepted flagship and subjournal titles from Nature Portfolio, the AAAS Science family, and Cell Press, filtering by publication time range, and exporting one reference-manager-ready output by default. Use this skill whenever the user asks to input text and automatically get references, add citations to a paragraph/manuscript, find Nature-series or CNS support for statements, create text-to-reference correspondence, "分段引用", "自动给出引用", "Nature系列引用", "CNS及子刊", "支撑文献", "补引用", "找引用", or export EndNote/RIS/ENW/Zotero RDF. Also trigger on general academic-writing citation needs even without the word "Nature", such as adding references while writing a paper, finding sources/literature for a claim, building a reference list, citation/referencing for academic writing, and Chinese phrasings like 学术写作引用、写论文加引用、写paper找文献、加参考文献、配文献、引用文献、文献支撑.

This skill is split into two layers:
What this skill does
nature-citation is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the research-methods sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/academic-nature-nature-citation/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
Who uses this skill
The nature-citation Claude Code skill is built for researchers, data scientists, academics, and analysts working with complex data and scientific literature. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 161,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
