What it does
Advmat Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when polishing the prose of an Advanced Materials manuscript for Wiley house style, concision, precise materials nomenclature and units, and readability across materials subfields. Polishes language; does not restructure the advance or manage the length budget.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 and Plain language and style rules. 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.

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
Advmat Writing Style loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 662 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.

Advanced Materials Writing Style (advmat-writing-style)
When to trigger
- Prose is wordy, hedged, or dense with un-glossed jargon
- Materials nomenclature, chemical formulae, or units are inconsistent
- A reader from a neighboring materials subfield would stumble on the opening
- The draft narrates the experiment chronologically instead of arguing the advance
- You are in late polish, after the science, characterization, and figures are stable
Wiley / Adv. Mater. house-style essentials
- Concision serves impact. Adv. Mater. prizes a crisp, high-signal narrative; every sentence should advance the structure → property → function argument.
- Argue, don't log. Write "the doping raises carrier density, which lifts conductivity to X" — not "first we synthesized, then we measured, then we observed."
- Nomenclature discipline. Define every abbreviation and material acronym on first use; keep chemical formulae, phase labels, and sample names identical across text, figures, and SI.
- Units and numbers. SI units throughout, consistent significant figures, a space between number and unit, and every headline metric with its uncertainty and measurement conditions.
- British or American English consistently (Wiley accepts either) — do not mix within a manuscript.
- References follow the current Wiley Advanced Materials style; cite the prior art that establishes novelty and the work a reader needs to trust the characterization.
Concision moves
| Wordy pattern | Tightened |
|---|---|
| "It is worth noting that the material exhibits" | "The material exhibits" |
| "In order to investigate" | "To probe" |
| "We have successfully synthesized" | "We synthesized" (drop "successfully") |
| "Due to the fact that" | "Because" |
| "novel and unprecedented" (stacked novelty claims) | one calibrated claim, tied to the design rule |
| Restating every figure value in prose | interpret the figure; don't transcribe it |
| A background paragraph before the result | one-sentence context, then the advance |
Adv. Mater. abstracts and openings are notorious for hype-word inflation ("novel," "unprecedented," "significantly," "remarkable"). Delete the adjective and let the number and the mechanism carry the claim.
Readability across subfields
Adv. Mater. is read across materials chemistry, physics, energy, electronics, and biomaterials — a battery reviewer may assess a photovoltaics paper. So:
- Open with materials context a non-specialist grasps before introducing subfield notation.
- Gloss a specialized concept in one clause rather than assuming it.
- Put the physical/chemical interpretation next to every key metric.
- Prefer the spelled-out concept over acronym soup where space allows.

Worked micro-rewrite (Adv. Mater. register)
Before (log-style, hype-stacked, un-benchmarked):
"In this work, a novel and unprecedented material was successfully synthesized via a facile method. It was found that the sample exhibits remarkably enhanced performance, which is significantly higher than previous works and may have great potential for future applications."
After (advance-first, calibrated, benchmarked):
"We report a layered oxide whose expanded interlayer spacing accommodates reversible multivalent intercalation. The resulting cathode delivers 220 mAh g⁻¹ at 1C with 92% capacity retention over 500 cycles — outperforming the best reported oxides of this family (Table 1) — because the spacing suppresses lattice strain during cycling."
What changed: "novel/unprecedented/facile/remarkable/significant" all deleted; the metric arrives with conditions and a benchmark; the mechanism ("spacing suppresses strain") replaces vague "great potential."
Precision discipline
- State claims at the strength the evidence supports — no over- or under-claiming.
- "Significantly" means statistically significant, not "a lot."
- Quote uncertainty and conditions with every headline number.
- Present tense for established facts; past tense for what you did.
Checklist
- Every sentence advances the structure → property → function argument
- All abbreviations, formulae, and sample names defined and consistent across text/figures/SI
- Hype words ("novel," "unprecedented," "remarkable") removed or earned
- Opening readable by an out-of-subfield materials scientist
- Interpretation accompanies every key metric; conditions and uncertainty stated
- SI units, consistent significant figures, number–unit spacing
- One English variant used consistently
- References follow current Wiley Advanced Materials style
Anti-patterns
- Hype-word inflation instead of a benchmarked, mechanistic claim
- Undefined acronyms or drifting sample names between text, figures, and SI
- Chronological lab-log narration instead of an argument
- Prose that transcribes figure values instead of interpreting them
- Subfield jargon in the opening that excludes the broad readership
- Mixed British/American spelling within one manuscript
Output format
【Concision / de-hype pass】done? yes / list
【Nomenclature】abbreviations, formulae, sample names consistent? yes / fix
【Broad readability】opening accessible out-of-subfield? yes / fix
【Interpretation + conditions on every metric】yes / fix
【Claim calibration】matched to evidence? yes / fix
【Next】advmat-length-management (fit format) or advmat-cover-letterReference and typesetting conventions are set by Wiley and evolve — verify current Advanced Materials style on the official author page.
