Run it yourself

Draft, revise, or critique a primary-research manuscript for a specifically chosen Nature or Nature Portfolio journal, or deliberately develop that broad-reader scientific style. Ground claims in the supplied results and calibrate journal requirements separately. Do not impose this journal style on generic documentation, reviews, press releases, or unrelated writing.

Gen Agent Trust Hub1mo
The skill helps users draft scientific manuscripts for Nature Portfolio journals. It contains deceptive metadata claiming the author is OpenAI, which misrepresents its source. It also processes external drafts and notes without isolation boundaries, creating an indirect prompt injection surface, and directs the agent to execute shell commands to run provided Python diagnostic scripts.
