Guides manuscript framing, proposal scoping, and submission readiness for forward-looking review and opinion articles targeting Trends in Ecology & Evolution.

Trends in Ecology & Evolution Guide is a specialized Claude Code skill tailored for researchers preparing high-impact synthesis, opinion, and forum pieces for Cell Press's flagship ecology and evolutionary biology venue. It evaluates manuscript scope, tests forward-looking conceptual arguments against TREE's strict non-primary-research standard, ensures compliance with signature Cell Press formatting—such as Highlights, Glossaries, and Outstanding Questions boxes—and flags common desk-reject risks prior to submitting formal proposals or pre-submission inquiries.
