nature-polishing
nature polishing
What it does
- A dynamic layer (this file plus manifest.yaml) that detects the request's axes and loads only the fragments needed for the current job.
- papertype — research / methods / hypothesis / algorithmic / review. Default: research.
- section — abstract / intro / results / discussion / conclusion / title / methods. May be multiple. Ask the user if it is ambiguous and matters for the polish.
- language — en or zh-to-en. Detect from the draft itself.
- journal — nature / nat-comms / generic. Default: generic. If the user names a Nature subjournal, treat it as nature.
- The static layer is versioned and reviewable. Adding a new journal style or paper type is one new file plus one manifest line.
- The dynamic layer keeps each invocation cheap: only the fragments relevant to this draft enter context, instead of the full 1000-line monolith.
