What it does
Aaag Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or polishing the prose of an Annals of the American Association of Geographers manuscript — Chicago Manual of Style (author-date), the 11,000-word inclusive cap, the 3-5 italicized keywords, and writing that reads as geography for a broad disciplinary audience. Polishes prose and format; it does not generate findings.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. ｜ 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it

- 000-word inclusive cap
- The 3-5 italicized keywords

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Aaag Writing Style loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 511 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- aaag-writing-style
- description
- Use when drafting or polishing the prose of an Annals of the American Association of Geographers manuscript — Chicago Manual of Style (author-date), the 11,000-word inclusive cap, the 3-5 italicized keywords, and writing that reads as geography for a broad disciplinary audience. Polishes prose and format; it does not generate findings.
Writing Style (aaag-writing-style)
The Annals reaches the whole discipline of geography across four areas. The prose must make a specialist contribution legible to geographers outside the subfield, follow Chicago Manual of Style (author-date), and fit a cap that counts almost everything (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准).
When to trigger
- Drafting the introduction, framing the contribution, or final language polish
- Cutting to the word cap, or fixing citation/keyword/format issues
- A reviewer said the paper is "hard to follow," "jargon-heavy," or "reads as [another discipline]"
House style (verify on the Style Sheet)
- Chicago Manual of Style, author-date citations and reference list.
- Abstract followed by 3-5 keywords, alphabetized and italicized at the end of the abstract.
- Word cap: ≤ 11,000 words for Articles, including abstract, references, notes, tables, and figure
captions — budget the whole document, not just the body. Forums and Commentaries differ (see
aaag-submission). - US/standard academic English; define area-specific jargon for a general-geography reader.
The introduction arc (make it read as geography)
Aim for: question → geographic stake (space/place/scale/environment-society) → why it is hard → setting & design → headline finding with mechanism → portable contribution → brief roadmap. By the end of the introduction a geographer in another area should know the question, the argument, the evidence, and why it matters to geography broadly.
- Lead with the geographic question and argument, not the method or the study area description.
- State the contribution early and as a portable geographic claim (
aaag-theory-building). - Name the place/scale as part of the argument, not as throat-clearing description.
Cross-area legibility
- Translate sub-field jargon: a Physical-Geography reader should follow a Human-Geography paper's stakes and vice versa.
- Keep methods proportionate — enough to judge rigor, not a tutorial that crowds out the argument.
- Use signposting sparingly; let the argument, not a seven-section roadmap, carry the reader.
Trimming to the inclusive cap
- Count abstract, notes, tables, and captions; cut the longest table and the most redundant figure first.
- Move secondary detail to supplementary material rather than padding the body.
- Replace literature dumps with positioned claims (
aaag-literature-positioning).
Show full SKILL.md (187 more words)Show less
Calibration anchors
- A geographer in another area is your reader. If a physical geographer cannot follow a human- geography paper's stakes (or vice versa), the framing is too inside-baseball.
- The cap counts almost everything. Abstract, notes, tables, and figure captions are inside the 11,000 words — a "10,000-word body" can still be over.
- Place is argument, not scenery. Naming the study area is not the same as showing why this place, scale, or region is constitutive of the claim.
Checklist
- Chicago author-date throughout; reference list consistent
- Abstract + 3-5 italicized, alphabetized keywords
- Whole document (incl. notes/tables/captions/refs) within the cap for the article type
- Introduction states question, geographic stake, finding, and portable contribution early
- Jargon defined for a general-geography reader; methods proportionate
Anti-patterns
- Leading with the study-area description or the estimator instead of the question and argument
- Treating the cap as body-only and overrunning once captions/notes/refs are counted
- Mixed or non-Chicago citation style; missing or non-italicized keywords
- Sub-field jargon left undefined so other-area geographers cannot follow
- Over-signposted roadmap doing the work the argument should do
