Current skill

research-routes-plan

Plan software, research-exploration, or hybrid work from a repository, question, problem, frame, or arbitrary starting point. Use when Codex needs a route-neutral map, shared backbone, concurrent routes and branches, explicit claims and hypotheses, provenance, evidence polarity, lifecycle recovery, or a plan that keeps candidate inference separate from HumanDecision and canonical state.

nature-writing

Similarity 95Trust 80Excellent 100

Draft, restructure, or plan Nature-style manuscript sections and initial-submission materials from author-provided claims, results, figures, notes, or Chinese drafts. Use for abstracts, introductions, related work, methods, Results or experiments, discussions, conclusions, titles, full manuscript arguments, and first-submission packages such as cover letters, title pages, highlights, author contributions, availability or declaration text, and reviewer suggestions. Also use to classify Results evidence, decide what belongs in main text, captions, Methods or source data, or Supplementary Information, compress Results to the shortest sufficient evidence chain, prevent revision accretion, and audit paragraph necessity or claim repetition. Trigger on drafting a paper or section, structuring a manuscript, academic writing, first submission, 投稿材料、首次投稿、投稿信、标题页、亮点、作者贡献、数据可用性声明、推荐审稿人.

mono-color

Similarity 91Trust 81Excellent 100

Generate original one-ink or controlled two-ink editorial images from any theme, sentence, article idea, object, or reference photo. Always use this skill when the user asks for 单色海报、双色印刷、单色调视觉、蓝色/绿色孔版印刷、risograph、网点照片、复古或当代编辑排版、zine poster, monochrome editorial poster, duotone print, or asks to use the mono-color style. It uses an adaptive white, gray, or pale-beige substrate, no more than two printing inks, active negative space, terse human language, and strong serif/grotesk/mono typography without making retro styling the default or copying a source composition, wording, logo, or artwork. Produce both the final generation prompt and the generated raster image unless the user explicitly asks for prompt only.
