nature-skills — FAQ
What is nature-skills?+
nature-skills is an open library of AI agent skills designed for academic researchers, providing 18+ reusable workflows for tasks like paper reading, manuscript polishing, figure creation, reviewer response, and literature search—all following Nature-journal standards.
How do I install nature-skills in Codex or Claude Code?+
For Codex, clone the repo and run scripts/update-codex-skills.sh --pull. For Claude Code, clone to a stable path (e.g., ~/ai-skills/nature-skills) and create subagent wrappers in ~/.claude/agents/ pointing to the SKILL.md files. Alternatively, use npx skills add Yuan1z0825/nature-skills --global --agent codex --skill '*' --yes --copy to install all skills at once.
Which AI clients and agent frameworks does nature-skills work with?+
It works with Codex, Claude Code, OpenClaw, OpenCode, Hermes, and any agent framework that supports SKILL.md or subagent files. Installation methods vary: Codex and Claude Code have dedicated scripts, while other frameworks can reference the skills directory directly.
Do I need API keys or external services?+
Most skills run locally without API keys. The nature-academic-search MCP server requires PUBMED_EMAIL for PubMed access; optional Scopus/ScienceDirect providers need API credentials. The nature-paper-to-patent skill optionally uses Playwright for CNIPA patent search. The nature-figure skill references OpenRouter GPT Image 2 for schematics, which requires an OpenRouter API key.
Is nature-skills free and open source?+
Yes, it is licensed under Apache-2.0 and hosted on GitHub. All skills are free to use, modify, and extend. The repository also includes auto-update scripts and community support via WeChat and Douyin.
Can I install just one skill instead of all 18?+
Yes, use npx skills add Yuan1z0825/nature-skills --agent codex --skill nature-reader --skill nature-shared --yes --copy (replace nature-reader with the skill name you want). For Claude Code, create a subagent wrapper pointing only to that skill's SKILL.md.
