Scientific Writing

If you're writing anything longer than a grant abstract, this skill enforces a two-stage process: build structured outlines with key points first, then convert everything to full paragraphs. Never bullet points in final output. It handles IMRAD structure, multiple citation styles (APA, AMA, Vancouver), and integrates with reporting guidelines like CONSORT and PRISMA. The interesting bit is the mandatory visual requirement: every paper needs at least one AI-generated schematic using the scientific-schematics skill, which you call via a Python script with natural language descriptions. Covers everything from methods documentation to reviewer responses, and includes detailed reference docs for citation styles and figure design.
