Its defining expectation is **food-systems significance**: a result that matters beyond a single crop, process, or location and speaks to how food is produced or consumed sustainably and healthily. A solid agronomy, food-chemistry, or nutrition result with no systems-level significance is a poor fit, however rigorous. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current author guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live Nature Food submission guidance. ## When to trigger - The author names Nature Food and wants a fit/framing check for a food-systems paper. - A specialist agronomy / food-science / nutrition / supply-chain result must be re-framed into a food-systems-significance narrative. - The author is choosing between Nature Food, a Nature Portfolio sibling, and a specialist agriculture or food journal. - The author needs Nature Fo

What does the nature-food skill do?
Use when targeting Nature Food or deciding whether a food-systems manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the food-systems-significance and transdisciplinary bar, evidence and reproducibility expectations, 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-food --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.
