What it does

Aos Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when polishing the prose of an Accounting, Organizations and Society (AOS) manuscript — sustained argumentative writing that carries theory and evidence together, a self-contained abstract, disciplined length despite the absence of a hard cap, and full anonymization for double-anonymized review. Polishes prose; it does not run the submission preflight (aos-submission).

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Brand voice and tone and Accounting and bookkeeping. 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

  • Polishing the prose of an Accounting
  • Organizations and Society (AOS) manuscript — sustained argumentative writing that carries theory and evidence together
  • A self-contained abstract
  • Disciplined length despite the absence of a hard cap

Example prompts

  • “/aos-writing-style”

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

Aos Writing Style loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 598 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~98
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

description
Use when polishing the prose of an Accounting, Organizations and Society (AOS) manuscript — sustained argumentative writing that carries theory and evidence together, a self-contained abstract, disciplined length despite the absence of a hard cap, and full anonymization for double-anonymized review. Polishes prose; it does not run the submission preflight (aos-submission).

Writing Style (aos-writing-style)

When to trigger

  • The draft reads as description (field papers) or as a mechanical hypothesis mill (experiments)
  • Sections don't argue — the theory, findings, and discussion sit side by side unconnected
  • The abstract summarizes the topic instead of the claim
  • Anonymization, references, or length discipline still need a pass

The AOS register

AOS prose is essayistic but accountable: long-form argument in which every interpretive move is anchored to evidence and every theoretical term earns its keep. The reader is interdisciplinary — an organizational sociologist and a JDM psychologist may both referee — so write for the intelligent non-specialist: define tradition-specific vocabulary at first use, and never let jargon substitute for reasoning.

  • Argue continuously. Each section should advance the claim, not inventory content. Findings sections in field papers interleave excerpt and interpretation — the analysis is in the prose, not after it.
  • Voice. First person is normal and honest in interpretive work ("we came to see the budget meetings as…"); keep it analytic, not confessional. Experimental papers use the plain predictive register: theory → prediction → design → result.
  • Concreteness. Ground abstractions in the practice: named artifacts (the monthly pack, the risk register), scenes, and actors' words — anonymized but vivid.
  • Terminology ledger. Fix one name per concept (construct, practice, site pseudonym, condition label) and hold it identical across abstract, text, exhibits, and appendices.

Length without a cap

AOS publishes long papers and states no rigid word limit in its Guide for Authors (re-check the current guide — norms evolve). Treat that freedom as a discipline test: interpretive papers commonly run 12,000–15,000 words, and every one of them must be load-bearing. Cut scene-setting that does no theoretical work, second examples that prove the same point, and literature reviews of threads the paper never rejoins.

Front matter

  • Abstract: one self-contained paragraph — the question, the setting/design, the conceptual answer, and what it changes in the conversation. No citations, no suspense.
  • Keywords chosen so both accounting and social-science indexers find the paper.
  • Introduction executes the positioned arc (see aos-literature-positioning) and previews the conceptual answer — AOS readers expect to know the claim before the methods.

Anonymization and mechanics

  • Double-anonymized review: strip names, affiliations, acknowledgments, grant numbers, and self-revealing phrasing ("in our earlier study at this site") from the manuscript file; cite your own work in the third person.
  • Scrub document properties/metadata; keep identifying material on the separate title page only.
  • References in the journal's author–date style; reconcile the reference list against the current Guide for Authors rather than trusting the citation manager.
  • Declare any generative-AI writing assistance per Elsevier policy (a declaration in the manuscript; AI tools cannot be authors).

The paragraph audit

For a final pass, write each paragraph's job in the margin in five words or fewer ("introduces broker concept", "handles counter-evidence on X"). Paragraphs with no statable job get cut; adjacent paragraphs with the same job get merged. This audit is the cheapest route to AOS-grade density.

Checklist

  • Every section advances the argument; excerpts are interpreted where they appear
  • Tradition vocabulary defined at first use; no undefined jargon
  • Terminology ledger applied across text, exhibits, and appendices
  • Length justified paragraph by paragraph despite the absence of a cap
  • Abstract self-contained: question, design, conceptual answer, consequence
  • Manuscript fully anonymized, metadata scrubbed; author–date references reconciled
  • AI-assistance declaration included if applicable

Anti-patterns

  • Travelogue field writing: atmosphere and chronology with the analysis postponed to the discussion.
  • Hypothesis-mill formatting imposed on interpretive work (H1–H8 scaffolds where no hypotheses exist).
  • Theory-section quarantine: concepts introduced early, never used again in the findings' language.
  • Citation-armored sentences — three references per clause in place of an argument.
  • Anonymization leaks in acknowledgments, footnotes, or file metadata.
