# Nature Skills Suite

A dedicated collection of skills for producing academic work at *Nature*-family journal standards, covering scientific figures, manuscript prose, structural argumentation, and peer-review preparation.

## Sub-Skills Included

1. **nature-figure** (`skills/nature-skills/nature-figure/SKILL.md`):
   - Generates publication-ready matplotlib figures matching Nature visual guidelines.
   - Strict typography (`font.sans-serif = ['Arial']`), editable vector SVG (`svg.fonttype = 'none'`), print-safe palette (`#0C5DA5`, `#00B945`, `#FF9500`, `#FF2C00`, `#845B97`, `#474747`, `#9e9e9e`).
   - Three-level information architecture: *overview -> deviation -> relationship*.

2. **nature-polishing** (`skills/nature-skills/nature-polishing/SKILL.md`):
   - Academic prose polishing to Nature standards: concise, active voice, punchy narrative, zero jargon padding.
   - Eliminates AI clichés and passive bloat.
