Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Science Research Writing Turn the author's research materials into the next useful manuscript deliverable. Guide the writing process without replacing scientific judgment or inventing intellectual content. ## Load only what is needed - Always read `references/input-output-contract.md` and `references/certainty-and-claim-strength.md`. - Read `references/reverse-engineering-protocol.md` when target papers are supplied or the user requests journal adaptation. - Read only the relevant section reference: `introduction.md`, `methods.md`, `results.md`, `discussion.md`, `conclusion.md`, `abstract.md`, or `title.md`. - Use `assets/section-function-map.md` for planning, `assets/evidence-ledger.csv` for provenance-sensitive drafting, and `assets/target-journal-model.json` for target-paper modeling. ## First response: inspect before asking Read all supplied materials first. Identify: - manuscript stage: idea, research materials, partial draft, or full draft; - primary job: `lookup`, `learn`, `model`, `plan`, `draft`, `revise`, or `audit`; - paper section and empirical design when inferable; - facts, numbers, citations, technical terms, null findings, limitations, and author judgments that mu

What does the science-research-writing skill do?
Use when researchers need to plan, draft, revise, or audit an empirical research paper from their own materials, including Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion, Conclusion, Abstract, and Title, with evidence-preserving and target-journal-aware guidance.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add Yila-AI/sci-ssci-skills --skill science-research-writing --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 Yila-AI/sci-ssci-skills, a repository with 78 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.
