Why does it avoid using bullet points in the final output?

Scientific journals require cohesive, flowing prose; the skill uses a two-stage process to ensure logical arguments are developed into professional paragraphs rather than simple lists.

Can this skill handle specific citation styles?

Yes, it supports major styles including APA, AMA, Vancouver, Chicago, and IEEE, ensuring citations are formatted correctly throughout the text and reference list.

Is it suitable for writing literature reviews?

Yes, it can draft narrative, systematic, and scoping reviews by synthesizing research found through its integrated lookup and research capabilities.

Does it support reporting guidelines like CONSORT or PRISMA?

Absolutely; the skill is designed to follow standard reporting guidelines for various study types, including clinical trials, observational studies, and systematic reviews.

Can I generate figures and tables with this skill?

While it structures text and tables, it is designed to integrate specifically with the scientific-schematics tool to produce high-quality, publication-ready diagrams and flowcharts.
