npx skillmds@latest add plugin:brycewang-stanford/nature-geoscience-skills

One command, no setup. In Claude Code it lands as a managed plugin you can enable, disable or remove with /plugin. On any other agent it installs the 12 skills into that agent's own folder.

Or inside Claude Code

In the Plugins tab, add this marketplace:

skillmds/skillmd
/plugin install brycewang-stanford-nature-geoscience-skills@skillmd

Adds the marketplace once; later plugins need the second line only.

Or install by hand

Download the plugin and unzip its skills/ folder into your agent's skills directory. Works with every agent, no CLI needed.

Skills in this plugin

▌
Ngeo Figures · brycewang-stanford
Use when designing or auditing display items for a Nature Geoscience manuscript, where 4-6 figures/tables must carry the Earth-system advance and its uncertainty for a broad readership. Designs figure strategy; does not run the analysis or write prose.

▌
Ngeo Methods · brycewang-stanford
Use when building the online Methods section of a Nature Geoscience manuscript so every quantitative Earth-science claim is grounded in data, model diagnostics, and quantified uncertainty. Structures Methods and the reproducibility layer; does not design figures or frame the headline result.

▌
Ngeo Revision · brycewang-stanford
Use when responding to Nature Geoscience referee reports or editor decisions — point-by-point reply, resubmission, and the Nature Portfolio appeal route. Structures the response and revision; does not redraft the science from scratch.

▌
Ngeo Workflow · brycewang-stanford
Use when deciding which ngeo-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing manuscript work from scope-fit through revision for a Nature Geoscience (Nat. Geosci.) manuscript. Routes — does not replace — the specialized skills.

▌
Ngeo Scope Fit · brycewang-stanford
Use when deciding whether an Earth-science result clears Nature Geoscience's broad-interest, cross-disciplinary Earth-system gate, or whether it belongs in a community journal such as JGR, GRL, or Communications Earth & Environment. Diagnoses venue fit; does not write or frame the result.

▌
Ngeo Submission · brycewang-stanford bundle
Use when running the final pre-submission preflight for a Nature Geoscience manuscript — word/display-item limits, format, files, online Methods, Supplementary Information, Reporting Summary, data/code availability, and Editorial Manager metadata. Verifies submission readiness; does not write content.

▌
Ngeo Cover Letter · brycewang-stanford
Use when writing the cover letter for a Nature Geoscience submission, which must convince an in-house editor that the work is a broad-interest Earth-system advance appropriate for a diverse readership. Drafts the editorial case; does not edit the manuscript itself.

1k repo stars
▌
Ngeo Supplementary · brycewang-stanford
Use when partitioning content between the Nature Geoscience main text and its Supplementary Information, ensuring the Article stands alone while extended data, model output, and derivations live in the SI. Organizes the SI; does not write the main text.

▌
Ngeo Writing Style · brycewang-stanford
Use when polishing the prose of a Nature Geoscience manuscript for Nature house style, accessibility to non-specialists, precise terminology, and calibrated Earth-science claims. Polishes language; does not restructure the result or manage the length budget.

▌
Ngeo Results Framing · brycewang-stanford
Use when a Nature Geoscience result is correct but its headline advance and cross-disciplinary significance are not yet sharp. Structures the one-advance narrative and the "Here we show" abstract; does not run analysis or design figures.

1k repo stars
▌
Ngeo Referee Strategy · brycewang-stanford
Use when choosing suggested and excluded referees for a Nature Geoscience submission and pre-empting the objections Earth-science referees are likely to raise. Plans referee handling; does not write the manuscript or the rebuttal.

1k repo stars
▌
Ngeo Length Management · brycewang-stanford
Use when a Nature Geoscience manuscript exceeds the ~3,000-word Article limit, the 4-6 display-item ceiling, or the reference cap, where content must be relocated to online Methods or Supplementary Information. Triages what to cut, compress, or move; does not rewrite content from scratch.
