ngeo-supplementary
Use when partitioning content between the Nature Geoscience main text and its Supplementary Information, ensuring the Article stands alone while extended data, model output, and derivations live in the SI. Organizes the SI; does not write the main text.

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 Geoscience Supplementary Information (ngeo-supplementary) ## When to trigger - The Article is over 3,000 words and detail must move out of the main text - A reader cannot follow the main text without consulting the Supplementary Information - You have extended maps, full model ensembles, derivations, or additional proxies with no home - You are unsure what is allowed in SI versus what must stay in the main text or online Methods - Referees of a prior version asked for material that would bloat the main text ## The stand-alone rule (non-negotiable) The main text must be **fully understandable on its own**. The Supplementary Information *supports* the Article; it must never be *load-bearing* for the headline advance. A reader who never opens the SI should still grasp the result, the core evidence for it, its uncertainty, and why it matters. - The headline advance, its decisive evidence, and the headline uncertainty live in the **main text**. - The **online Methods** holds the reproducible protocol (instruments, model setup, statistics). - The **SI** holds the exhaustive backup a skeptical referee or replicator wants: extended datasets, full ensembles, sensitivity tests, addi

What does the ngeo-supplementary skill do?
Use when partitioning content between the Nature Geoscience main text and its Supplementary Information, ensuring the Article stands alone while extended data, model output, and derivations live in the SI. Organizes the SI; does not write the main text.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ngeo-supplementary --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.
