# Nature-Style Academic Polishing
Use this skill to improve scientific writing at two levels:
- `main strategy`: paper architecture, published-article patterns, section logic, reader workflow, evidence thresholds, and ethics
- `reference support`: reusable phrase families, move patterns, transitions, and style checks
The main strategy should come from the course notes in `Chapter1-Week1-7` and
the curated article-pattern reference. The wording layer should come from
`Academic Phrasebank`.
## Default stance
- Language serves argument. Do not polish sentences while leaving the reasoning broken.
