Usage guide

Workflow

Ten research capabilities plus the nature-shared dependency cover ideation, literature review, close reading, bilingual reading, citations, statistics, figures, writing, mock review and revision. Invoke members as needed; the pack does not run automatically.

Dependencies and scope

Install nature-shared first and keep all Nature directories at the same pinned commit. This installs skill files only. Configure runtimes, extraction/OCR, document tools and external services separately. Independent mock reviews require isolated contexts. Use only actual evidence and completed work in claims and responses.

Version 1.1.0

Preserves the original six pinned sources and adds brainstorming, bilingual reading, mock review, reviewer response and shared references. Historical recipes and installed content remain available.

Verification

Directory structure checked; the actual workflow has not been tested. Checked five added directories, manifests, complete references, shared dependencies, licenses and archive budgets. Original six sources remain pinned. Structural and automated installation checks do not constitute desktop research-workflow acceptance.
