## Description

Draft or restructure scientific manuscript arguments, sections, and initial-submission materials from author-provided evidence. Use for 论文写作、章节起草、论证重构、正文压缩、首次投稿材料. Use nature-polishing for language-only edits to existing prose and nature-response for post-decision correspondence.

## Routing protocol

For a new drafting task, follow the routing below. For follow-up edits, reuse established task choices and already loaded guidance; read additional fragments only when the requested scope changes.

### 1. Load the manifest and the core layer

Read [manifest.yaml](manifest.yaml). It declares the axes (`task`, `paper_type`, `section`, `language`, `journal`), the allowed values, and the file paths each value maps to.

Also read every file listed under `always_load`. These hold the default stance, writing workflow, and output format that apply to every drafting job.

### 2. Detect the axis values for this request

For each axis in the manifest, decide the value using the manifest's `detect:` hint and the user's input:

- `task`, manuscript / submission-package. Use `submission-package` for first-submission materials, never for revision correspondence.
- `paper_type`, research / methods / hypothesis / algorithmic / review. Default: research.
- `section`, abstract / intro / related-work / method / experiments / discussion / conclusion / title. May be multiple. Ask the user if it is ambiguous and matters for the draft.
- `language`, en or zh-to-en. Detect from the user's notes themselves.
- `journal`, nature / nature-family / nat-comms / nat-mach-intell / generic.
  Default: generic. Use `nature` only for the flagship journal Nature,
  `nat-comms` for Nature Communications, `nat-mach-intell` for Nature Machine
  Intelligence (NMI), and `nature-family` for other Nature Portfolio titles or
  an unspecified Nature-family request.

State the detected axis values in one short line to the user before drafting, so they can correct you cheaply. This is a progress update, not an approval gate; continue unless a necessary decision remains unresolved.

### 3. Load the matching fragments
