Journal-Adapt Writing Skill

What it does

This skill analyzes a set of journal papers to extract recurring editorial and rhetorical patterns, then generates a dynamic, reviewable writing-skill file which guides section-by-section manuscript revisions. It produces paper-level Style Cards, an aggregate Journal Style Profile, and a dynamic_writing_skill.md that encodes priority rules (hard-preserve elements, target-journal norms, secondary/exemplar guidance, and cleanup rules).

When to use it

Use when you need to adapt an existing manuscript to the conventions of a particular journal or venue — e.g., matching abstract structure, contribution framing, literature placement, methodological exposition, and result narration. Ideal before submission or major rewrite. It is also useful for building instructor/lab-specific exemplar-based guidance.

What's included

• Scripts: none embedded in the skill (skill body instructs on workflows, PDF conversion via MinerU is optional).
• References: none bundled.
• Instructions: detailed multi-phase workflow: Phase 1 corpus analysis (style cards, journal profile, dynamic skill generation), human gate for confirmation, Phase 2 section-by-section manuscript revision with diagnosis, revisions, and revision logs.

Compatible agents

Compatible with agents that can read and edit Markdown, orchestrate multi-step workflows, and run local scripts — e.g., Claude/Anthropic-style assistants, agent-run frameworks that can call MinerU, and general-purpose code-enabled assistants.
