nature-biotechnology
Use when targeting Nature Biotechnology or deciding whether a biotechnology/enabling-methods manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

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.
# Nature Biotechnology (nature-biotechnology) ## Journal positioning Nature Biotechnology is the Nature Portfolio's venue for enabling technologies, platforms, and methods that have broad applied impact across biological research, medicine, or industry — with the distinguishing emphasis on translational potential and broad adoption at scale. Where Nature Methods' primary criterion is generalizable methodological advance for research, Nature Biotechnology additionally asks whether the technology could be (or already is) transformative for a wider application domain: therapeutics, diagnostics, agriculture, bioindustrial production, or research infrastructure. Papers must demonstrate both technical rigor and a compelling case for broad utility. The readership spans researchers, clinicians, engineers, and industry scientists. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the Nature Portfolio site or submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names Nature Biotechnology as the target venue. - A new platform technology, cell-engineeri

What does the nature-biotechnology skill do?
Use when targeting Nature Biotechnology or deciding whether a biotechnology/enabling-methods manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill nature-biotechnology --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 984 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.
