Bioinformatics Manuscript Polishing
Use this skill to improve bioinformatics prose at the logic, paragraph, and sentence levels without changing the scientific record.
Boundary
This skill does:
- polish English or bilingual bioinformatics manuscript text
- restructure paragraphs for clearer claim-evidence-boundary flow
- calibrate overstatements, causal language, novelty claims, and validation claims
- standardize bioinformatics terminology and abbreviations
- provide Chinese explanations of major edits when useful
This skill does not:
- add analyses, citations, accessions, statistics, sample sizes, software versions, or mechanisms
- convert a weak or exploratory result into a validated conclusion
- silently change the meaning of a claim
If the draft lacks evidence for a claim, flag it and suggest bioinfo-evidence-orchestrator rather than patching the prose.

Modes
light polish: grammar, concision, flow, and terminology; preserve structurelogic polish: reorder sentences or paragraphs to make claim-evidence-boundary explicitChinese-to-English: translate scientific intent, not literal wording; keep gene/protein/tool names stableaudit only: return issues and suggested fixes without rewriting
Workflow
- Identify section type: abstract, introduction, Results, Discussion, Methods, title, response, or availability.
- Diagnose the main failure mode: unclear claim, evidence mismatch, overclaim, terminology inconsistency, sentence clutter, or missing boundary.
- Preserve all factual values exactly as supplied.
- Edit from section logic to paragraph logic to sentence polish.
- Use cautious language for association-only, exploratory, underpowered, or unvalidated findings.
- Return polished text plus a concise change log and evidence concerns.
