scientific-writing

scientific-writing is a skill for Claude Code from dralkh/seerai. It costs 87 tokens per session (7,228 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of scientific-writing, MIT.

A guide for writing scientific papers in full paragraphs, using structures such as IMRAD: introduction, methods, results, and discussion. It covers manuscript sections, citations, figures, tables, and common reporting guidelines.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write or revise abstracts, introductions, methods, results, and discussions, and to prepare papers for journal submission.
Why use it?
It provides a structured writing process instead of turning research notes directly into a draft. It also helps keep citations and scientific-reporting requirements consistent.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

scientific-writing scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/generate_image.py, scripts/generate_schematic_ai.py, scripts/generate_schematic.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Scientific Writing

Overview

This is the core skill for the deep research and writing tool—combining AI-driven deep research with well-formatted written outputs. Every document produced is backed by comprehensive literature search and verified citations through the research-lookup skill.

Scientific writing is a process for communicating research with precision and clarity. Write manuscripts using IMRAD structure, citations (APA/AMA/Vancouver), figures/tables, and reporting guidelines (CONSORT/STROBE/PRISMA). Apply this skill for research papers and journal submissions.

Critical Principle: Always write in full paragraphs with flowing prose. Never submit bullet points in the final manuscript. Use a two-stage process: first create section outlines with key points using research-lookup, then convert those outlines into complete paragraphs.

When to Use This Skill

This skill should be used when:

  • Writing or revising any section of a scientific manuscript (abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussion)
  • Structuring a research paper using IMRAD or other standard formats
  • Formatting citations and references in specific styles (APA, AMA, Vancouver, Chicago, IEEE)
  • Creating, formatting, or improving figures, tables, and data visualizations
  • Applying study-specific reporting guidelines (CONSORT for trials, STROBE for observational studies, PRISMA for reviews)
  • Drafting abstracts that meet journal requirements (structured or unstructured)
  • Preparing manuscripts for submission to specific journals
  • Improving writing clarity, conciseness, and precision
  • Ensuring proper use of field-specific terminology and nomenclature
  • Addressing reviewer comments and revising manuscripts

Visual Enhancement with Scientific Schematics

⚠️ MANDATORY: Every scientific paper MUST include a graphical abstract plus 1-2 additional AI-generated figures using the scientific-schematics skill.

This is not optional. Scientific papers without visual elements are incomplete. Before finalizing any document:

  1. ALWAYS generate a graphical abstract as the first visual element
  2. Generate at minimum ONE additional schematic or diagram using scientific-schematics
  3. Prefer 3-4 total figures for comprehensive papers (graphical abstract + methods flowchart + results visualization + conceptual diagram)
