scientific-prose-style: Reusable for AI Agents | OpenAgentSkill

Overview

Prose-quality rules for writing scientific manuscript text — abstract, introduction, results, discussion. The headline rule is a strict em-dash budget: the long dash (—) is overused and reads as a stylistic tic, so cap it and rewrite with commas, colons, parentheses, or a period. Also covers hedging, sentence rhythm, and paragraph openers. Load whenever drafting or revising manuscript prose (not figures; that is figure-planner).

scientific-prose-style

Rules for the prose of a scientific paper — the sentences of the abstract, introduction, results, and discussion. Load this whenever you draft or revise manuscript text. (Figure planning lives in figure-planner; this skill is about words on the page.)

This skill owns punctuation and rhythm only, and it runs last. When a passage is hard to follow for reasons punctuation cannot fix, such as an unstable claim, a missing evidence link, or a paragraph whose job is unclear, fix that first with manuscript-optimizer or scientific-writing. Re-punctuating a sentence whose scientific role is wrong does not make it readable, and polishing a drifted Review before its review-article-architecture drift audit makes the drift harder to see.

One layer sits directly above this one. anti-defensive-writing owns authorial posture at the paragraph level: what a paragraph leads with, where a caveat sits, and whether a sentence exists to advance the argument or to pre-empt an objection. Run it first. Stripping defensive scaffolding rewrites paragraph openers and sentence boundaries, which is exactly what Rule 3 and Rule 5 below then have to settle, so running this skill first means doing that work twice. Rule 3 here calibrates hedges within a sentence; deciding whether the hedge should exist at all belongs upstairs.

Rule 1 — Em-dash budget (the headline rule)

The long em-dash (—) is the single most overused mark in generated scientific prose. It feels punchy in isolation but a reader hits three or four per paragraph and it reads as a stylistic tic, not as writing. Cap it.

At most one em-dash per paragraph, and none in the abstract. If a sentence already has one, the next clause that wants a dash gets a different mark.
Never use a pair of em-dashes to bracket an aside if a comma pair or parentheses would do — the double dash is the worst offender.
Prefer, in rough order: comma (mild pause), colon (a list or an expansion of what precedes), parentheses (a true aside the sentence reads fine without), or split into two sentences (the strongest fix for a long dash-spliced line).

Substitution table

Em-dash use	Replace with	Example fix
Pause before a summary/payoff	colon	`...never been tested — this is our entry point.` → `...never been tested. This is our entry point.`
Bracketed aside (pair of dashes)	commas or parentheses	`no model — including ESM — beats chance` → `no model, including ESM, beats chance`
Appositive / renaming	comma	`allele-resolution prediction — telling apart variants` → `allele-resolution prediction, i.e. telling variants apart,`
Abrupt contrast	period + connective, or "but"	`real but sub-threshold — the effect vanishes` → `real but sub-threshold: the effect vanishes`
Range or span (this is fine)	keep an en-dash `–`, not em	`370–1000 cells` stays `370–1000`

Before → after (from a real over-dashed abstract)

Before (5 em-dashes, tic-heavy):

Starting from the hardest instance of the problem — allele-resolution prediction, distinguishing many coding variants of the same gene — we assemble a benchmark, and find this is a measurement limit, not a model limit — a split-half floor shows the distance is no larger than sampling noise.

After (0 em-dashes, same content):

We start from the hardest instance of the problem: allele-resolution prediction, which distinguishes many coding variants of the same gene. On the benchmark we assemble, the ceiling turns out to be a measurement limit rather than a model limit. A split-half floor analysis shows the perturbation-versus- control distance is no larger than the sampling noise between two halves of a variant's own cells.

Note what the rewrite does: promotes one clause to its own sentence, turns the bracketed aside into a relative clause, and swaps the contrast dash for "rather than." The prose is calmer and each sentence carries one idea.

Rule 2 — Don't trade the dash for a colon tic

Colons are the natural replacement, but the same overuse applies: at most one colon per sentence, and if every sentence in a paragraph ends ...: <expansion> you've just moved the tic. Vary the repair — some become periods, some commas.

Rule 3 — Hedge once, not thrice

Scientific prose stacks hedges (may possibly suggest that ... could in principle ...). State the claim with one qualifier and the confidence level, then stop. These results suggest X — not These results may tentatively be taken to suggest that X could hold.

Rule 4 — Vary sentence length; one idea per sentence

A paragraph of uniformly long, clause-heavy sentences is as fatiguing as the dash tic. Follow a long sentence with a short one. If a sentence has three clauses joined by dashes, semicolons, and "and," it is three sentences.

Rule 5 — Openers and connectives

Don't open consecutive paragraphs with the same word (We ... We ... We ...).
Prefer plain connectives (but, so, because, here) over heavy ones (moreover, furthermore, additionally) unless enumerating.

Self-check before you hand prose back

Run this on any abstract/intro/section you write:

Count em-dashes. More than one per paragraph, or any in the abstract → rewrite the excess with the substitution table.
Count paragraph-opening words. Repeated opener → vary it.
Read the longest sentence aloud. If you run out of breath, split it.
En-dashes in numeric ranges (5–10) and hyphens in compounds (single-cell) are fine and are not counted against the budget.

# scientific-prose-style

Rules for the *prose* of a scientific paper — the sentences of the abstract,
introduction, results, and discussion. Load this whenever you draft or revise
manuscript text. (Figure planning lives in `figure-planner`; this skill
is about words on the page.)

This skill owns punctuation and rhythm only, and it runs last. When a passage is hard to follow
for reasons punctuation cannot fix, such as an unstable claim, a missing evidence link, or a
paragraph whose job is unclear, fix that first with `manuscript-optimizer` or `scientific-writing`.
Re-punctuating a sentence whose scientific role is wrong does not make it readable, and polishing a
drifted Review before its `review-article-architecture` drift audit makes the drift harder to see.

One layer sits directly above this one. `anti-defensive-writing` owns authorial posture at the
paragraph level: what a paragraph leads with, where a caveat sits, and whether a sentence exists to
advance the argument or to pre-empt an objection. Run it first. Stripping defensive scaffolding
rewrites paragraph openers and sentence boundaries, which is exactly what Rule 3 and Rule 5 below
then have to settle, so running this skill first means doing that work twice. Rule 3 here calibrates
hedges within a sentence; deciding whether the hedge should exist at all belongs upstairs.

## Rule 1 — Em-dash budget (the headline rule)

The long em-dash (`—`) is the single most overused mark in generated scientific
prose. It feels punchy in isolation but a reader hits three or four per paragraph
and it reads as a stylistic tic, not as writing. **Cap it.**

- **At most one em-dash per paragraph, and none in the abstract.** If a sentence
  already has one, the next clause that wants a dash gets a different mark.
- **Never use a *pair* of em-dashes to bracket an aside** if a comma pair or
  parentheses would do — the double dash is the worst offender.
- Prefer, in rough order: **comma** (mild pause), **colon** (a list or an
  expansion of what precedes), **parentheses** (a true aside the sentence reads
  fine without), or **split into two sentences** (the strongest fix for a long
  dash-spliced line).

### Substitution table

| Em-dash use | Replace with | Example fix |
|---|---|---|
| Pause before a summary/payoff | colon | `...never been tested — this is our entry point.` → `...never been tested. This is our entry point.` |
| Bracketed aside (pair of dashes) | commas or parentheses | `no model — including ESM — beats chance` → `no model, including ESM, beats chance` |
| Appositive / renaming | comma | `allele-resolution prediction — telling apart variants` → `allele-resolution prediction, i.e. telling variants apart,` |
| Abrupt contrast | period + connective, or "but" | `real but sub-threshold — the effect vanishes` → `real but sub-threshold: the effect vanishes` |
| Range or span (this is fine) | keep an **en-dash** `–`, not em | `370–1000 cells` stays `370–1000` |

### Before → after (from a real over-dashed abstract)

**Before (5 em-dashes, tic-heavy):**
> Starting from the hardest instance of the problem — allele-resolution
> prediction, distinguishing many coding variants of the same gene — we assemble
> a benchmark, and find this is a measurement limit, not a model limit — a
> split-half floor shows the distance is no larger than sampling noise.

**After (0 em-dashes, same content):**
> We start from the hardest instance of the problem: allele-resolution
> prediction, which distinguishes many coding variants of the same gene. On the
> benchmark we assemble, the ceiling turns out to be a measurement limit rather
> than a model limit. A split-half floor analysis shows the perturbation-versus-
> control distance is no larger than the sampling noise between two halves of a
> variant's own cells.

Note what the rewrite does: promotes one clause to its own sentence, turns the
bracketed aside into a relative clause, and swaps the contrast dash for "rather
than." The prose is calmer and each sentence carries one idea.

## Rule 2 — Don't trade the dash for a colon tic

Colons are the natural replacement, but the same overuse applies: at most one
colon per sentence, and if every sentence in a paragraph ends `...: <expansion>`
you've just moved the tic. Vary the repair — some become periods, some commas.

## Rule 3 — Hedge once, not thrice

Scientific prose stacks hedges (`may possibly suggest that ... could in principle
...`). State the claim with one qualifier and the confidence level, then stop.
`These results suggest X` — not `These results may tentatively be taken to
suggest that X could hold`.

## Rule 4 — Vary sentence length; one idea per sentence

A paragraph of uniformly long, clause-heavy sentences is as fatiguing as the
dash tic. Follow a long sentence with a short one. If a sentence has three
clauses joined by dashes, semicolons, and "and," it is three sentences.

## Rule 5 — Openers and connectives

- Don't open consecutive paragraphs with the same word (`We ... We ... We ...`).
- Prefer plain connectives (`but`, `so`, `because`, `here`) over heavy ones
  (`moreover`, `furthermore`, `additionally`) unless enumerating.

## Self-check before you hand prose back

Run this on any abstract/intro/section you write:

1. **Count em-dashes.** More than one per paragraph, or any in the abstract →
   rewrite the excess with the substitution table.
2. **Count paragraph-opening words.** Repeated opener → vary it.
3. **Read the longest sentence aloud.** If you run out of breath, split it.
4. En-dashes in numeric ranges (`5–10`) and hyphens in compounds
   (`single-cell`) are fine and are not counted against the budget.
