Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Summary, Highlights & Graphical Abstract (cc-structured-abstract) ## When to trigger - Need a Cancer Cell **Summary** (the abstract) - Need **Highlights** (the short bullet list Cell Press requires) - Need the **eTOC blurb** (one-paragraph teaser for the table of contents) - Building or refining the **graphical abstract** ## The Summary (abstract) Cell Press uses a single-paragraph **Summary** (verify the current word limit on the author page). Structure it as a tight mechanistic arc: 1. **Context / gap** — the cancer problem and the unknown (1 sentence). 2. **Approach** — the systems used (cells / in vivo / human), at a high level. 3. **Core finding** — the mechanism: what regulates what, with direction. 4. **Validation** — that it holds in vivo and/or in patient data. 5. **Significance** — the translational implication (vulnerability / biomarker / therapy), calibrated to the evidence. Lead with the discovery, not the background. Name the molecule/axis and the cancer context concretely. Avoid hype words ("novel," "unprecedented") and unsupported clinical promises. ## Highlights - Provide the required number of short bullets (commonly four; verify current count), each ~85 charact

What does the cc-structured-abstract skill do?
Use when writing the Cancer Cell (Cell Press) front matter — the Summary, eTOC blurb, Highlights, and graphical abstract. It crafts these short items for accuracy and impact; it does not write Results or calibrate statistics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill cc-structured-abstract --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
