About scientific-writing
scientific-writing
Drafts, revises, and audits scientific manuscripts or reports
scientific-writing is an agent skill for drafting, revising and auditing scientific manuscripts and reports, with explicit evidence provenance, reporting-guideline coverage and authorship accountability. Its purpose is clear scientific prose that does not invent evidence or hide uncertainty. It keeps three stages separate: drafting, verification of the evidence, and approval for submission. The accountable human authors make the scientific decisions and give final approval. The skill states that AI is not an author, and that fluent text is never evidence in itself. Its safety rules are strict about confidentiality. It asks you not to send unpublished manuscripts, peer-review or editorial material, restricted or personal data, or source documents to an external service without the permissions and checks it lists. Use it when you are writing a paper or report and want help with structure and wording, with the claims tied to their sources, and with a check against the relevant reporting guidelines before submission. It is part of the k-dense-ai scientific agent skills repository on GitHub, which has about 49,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 2,300 installs.
