Find and verify Nature/CNS-family literature supporting manuscript claims, with claim-to-source mapping and reference-manager export. Use for Nature系列引用、CNS支撑文献、分段补引用 when this journal scope is requested; use broader literature search for unrestricted sources.

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

# Nature Citation — Router

## Routing protocol

For a new task, load the core and matching resources below. Reuse already loaded guidance on follow-ups; load more only when the task needs it.

### 1. Load the manifest and the core layer

Read [manifest.yaml](manifest.yaml). Then read every file listed under `always_load`:

- `static/core/principles.md` — what the skill produces, the strict journal scope, the source hierarchy, and the search-quality rules.
- `static/core/workflow.md` — the seven-step workflow and the final report format.

### 2. No content axis — confirm scope and language inline

Unlike the other nature-* skills, nature-citation has no fragment axis. Its variation is runtime parameters, not different content bodies:

- **journal scope** — `Nature系列` / `CNS` / `CNS及子刊` / flagship-only. Read it from the user's wording (see `core/principles.md`) and pass it to the script as `--scope`.
- **user language** — if the user writes Chinese or requests Chinese guidance, read `static/core/chinese-mode.md` (Chinese notes, English search queries).
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add yuan1z0825/nature-skills/nature-citation@sha256:f0436639c2bcf966

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260914.35eb0bc, 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.
