nature-physics
Use when targeting Nature Physics (Nat Phys) or deciding whether a physics manuscript fits this conceptual-advance, broad-audience Nature-family venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# Nature Physics (nature-physics) ## Journal positioning Nature Physics is the Springer Nature flagship for physics across all subfields, publishing results that represent a genuine conceptual advance in physics and can be communicated compellingly to the broad physics community. It operates within the Nature family's editorial culture: heavy triage before peer review, a premium on framing the advance for non-specialists within the discipline, and an expectation that the result will shift how physicists think about a problem rather than merely adding incremental precision. The readership is physicists across all subfields who rely on Nature Physics to identify the most important cross-cutting developments. 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 Springer Nature site and the Nature Physics editorial submission system. ## When to trigger - The author is targeting Nature Physics for a result framed as a cross-subfield conceptual advance. - A manuscript has a strong physics result but the author is unsure whether to target Nature

What does the nature-physics skill do?
Use when targeting Nature Physics (Nat Phys) or deciding whether a physics manuscript fits this conceptual-advance, broad-audience Nature-family 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-physics --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.
