Generate publication-ready methods sections, figure legends, supplementary tables, and data availability statements from ENCODE analysis provenance. Implements the scientific documentation standards requiring complete metadata reporting. Use when the user needs to write methods, generate figure legends, create supplementary tables, draft data availability statements, compile tool citations, or auto-generate any publication text from their ENCODE analysis.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Scientific Writing from ENCODE Provenance

Generate publication-quality scientific writing from ENCODE analysis records. This skill integrates with `data-provenance` and `cite-encode` to auto-generate methods from logged pipeline runs. Every generated section follows rigorous scientific documentation standards -- complete reporting of all experimental and computational parameters with zero ambiguity.

## When to Use

- User wants to write publication-ready methods sections, figure legends, or data availability statements
- User asks about "methods section", "figure legend", "scientific writing", or "manuscript preparation"
- User needs to auto-generate methods text from logged provenance/analysis steps
- User wants templates for supplementary tables, Key Resources Tables, or tool citation formatting
- Example queries: "write a methods section for my ChIP-seq analysis", "generate a figure legend for my heatmap", "format my data availability statement"

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ammawla/encode-toolkit/scientific-writing@sha256:a02ca55edd4ea00a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260920.6050003, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
