pnas-abstract
Use to write the PNAS abstract — a single self-contained paragraph of ~250 words, quantified and accessible to a broad scientific audience. Distinguishes the abstract (what/how/found, for scientists) from the Significance Statement (why-it-matters, for everyone). Late-stage polish.

# Abstract (pnas-abstract)
## When to trigger
- Significance, track, structure, figures, stats, and data are settled (do this late).
- The abstract reads like a methods recap with no result.
- The abstract is being confused with, or duplicated from, the Significance Statement.
- The abstract is over ~250 words, structured with subheadings, or jargon-dense.
## The PNAS abstract: ~250 words, single paragraph, self-contained
- **Length:** up to **~250 words** (confirm the exact cap in current PNAS author guidelines).
- **One paragraph, no subheadings**, no reference citations, no figure/table callouts.
- **Self-contained:** a reader who sees only the abstract should understand the question, what was done, what was found (quantified), and what it means.
