What it does
The skill explains scientific writing principles in Chinese and loads itself when a user writes a paper, abstract, title, reviewer reply or report. The `DRAFT → IMPROVED` examples stay in English because Chinese authors mostly publish in English-language international journals. The structure uses progressive disclosure. A short `SKILL.md` acts as a router, and reference files in `references/` load only for a matching task: pre-writing and journal choice, paper structure, word and paragraph craft, revision, figures and citations, authorship ethics, peer review, talks, posters and workplace communication. The central ideas are the writing and editing funnel and the CPR pass: concision, precision, revision.
Who it is for. Chinese-speaking researchers and graduate students who write and edit scientific texts with Claude Code.
Good fit when
- A paper paragraph must be tightened and clarified before journal submission.
- An abstract, introduction or discussion section is being prepared.
- A review or point-by-point reply to reviewers is being written.
- A talk, slides or poster is being prepared for a conference.
Not a fit when
- You need spelling and punctuation checks for Chinese text.
- You need a finished paper translation rather than writing principles.
- You work in English, where the `scientific-writing` version fits.
Example request
Tighten this introduction using the CPR principles and show what was cut, clarified and replaced.Limitations
Principles are in Chinese but the revision examples stay in English, so Chinese prose benefits mainly from language-independent sections: structure, coherence, concision, review and talks. Sections on English articles, passive voice and dashes apply to English writing only. The last commit in the repository was in July 2026. The README install command contains a `<你>` placeholder that must be replaced with the real clone URL.
How to disable. Delete the `~/.claude/skills/scientific-writing-zh` folder. The skill creates no other files or settings.
FAQ
Must I call the skill by name?
No. Claude loads it when you write a paper, abstract, reviewer reply or report.
What does CPR mean?
Concision, Precision and Revision, a single editing pass covered in the revision reference.
Which files does Claude use?
Only `SKILL.md` and the `references/` folder. Claude ignores `README.md`, `LICENSE` and `.gitignore`.
How does it differ from the English version?
Principles are explained in Chinese while structure and file names are identical. Revision examples stay in English.
What is in `references/`?
Twelve reference files: pre-writing, publishing, paper structure, prose craft, revision, figures, ethics, peer review, talks and more.
