About scientific-writing

scientific-writing
Core skill for the deep research and writing tool
scientific-writing is an agent skill from the davila7 claude-code-templates collection, listed on skills.sh. It is the core writing skill for a deep research and writing tool, which pairs AI-driven research with written output. It helps write scientific manuscripts with the IMRAD structure, citations in APA, AMA or Vancouver styles, figures and tables, and reporting guidelines such as CONSORT, STROBE and PRISMA. Every document is meant to be backed by a literature search and verified citations, through the research-lookup skill. The skill sets one firm rule: the final manuscript is written in full paragraphs with flowing prose, never bullet points. To achieve that, the work runs in two stages. First the agent creates section outlines with key points, using the research-lookup skill, and then it converts each outline into complete paragraphs. It is for researchers preparing research papers and journal submissions who want a process that keeps the citations and the structure right while producing text that reads as prose.
