Description

This skill treats your journal submission cover letter as an advertisement for your paper. It first forces you to compress your research into a single core innovation point ("one word") and decide whether it follows the "science" route (material/structure/mechanism/method) or "engineering" route (performance/application). Then, it generates an 8-section English cover letter ready for submission: a four-sentence selling arc covering problem, innovation, data, and significance; journal matching information; and standard declarations. It uses the most concise, objective language (rejecting flashy words like "employs" or "shatter the ceiling") and fits within one page. Including a figure is mandatory: for performance types, it provides literature comparison scatter plots or tables; for mechanism/structure types, it actively diagnoses your existing figures (five-point check), gives a redraw list, and directly outputs an SVG draft. It can also critique an existing draft, pointing out common flaws such as listing multiple innovations, lacking data, copying the abstract, or having no journal targeting, and rewrite it. Compatible with universal agents like Claude Code and Codex. Trigger phrases include "help me write a cover letter", "submit to SCI", "is this letter good", and "which figure should I show the editor".
