What it does
Arpsych Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or polishing prose for an Annual Review of Psychology (ARPsych) review so it lands the authoritative-yet-accessible house voice for a broad psychology readership. Shapes voice, abstract, and intro; it does not design the spine (arpsych-organizing-framework) or run final checks (arpsych-submission).
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
- Tasks that involve Brand voice and tone
Example prompts
- “/arpsych-writing-style”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Hooks with why this topic matters now to a broad readership.
- Frames the organizing question (not the topic label).
- States the spine — "We organize this literature around …".
- Previews the contribution — what the reader will understand differently after.
- Closes by foreshadowing the future-directions agenda.
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
Arpsych Writing Style loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 534 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.

- arpsych-writing-style
- description
- Use when drafting or polishing prose for an Annual Review of Psychology (ARPsych) review so it lands the authoritative-yet-accessible house voice for a broad psychology readership. Shapes voice, abstract, and intro; it does not design the spine (arpsych-organizing-framework) or run final checks (arpsych-submission).
Writing Style — The ARPsych Voice (arpsych-writing-style)
When to trigger
- The framework, balance, and exhibits are settled; it is time to write (or rewrite) prose
- A draft is technically correct but reads like a grant report or a primary-paper method section
- The abstract and introduction need to be written (do these last)
- A non-specialist test reader gets lost in jargon or cannot find the argument
What the ARPsych voice is
ARPsych reviews are read across all of psychology and by adjacent fields. The register is authoritative but accessible: written by a leading expert, readable by a smart psychologist outside the subfield, and usable in a graduate seminar. The two failure poles are (1) a dense specialist treatise only insiders can parse, and (2) a chatty overview with no analytical edge. Aim between them: deep but legible.
| Principle | In practice |
|---|---|
| Argument forward | Every section advances the spine; the reader always knows where they are in the framework |
| Define on first use | Spell out constructs, paradigms, and acronyms for the adjacent reader |
| Show the mechanism | Explain why an effect occurs, not just that N studies found it |
| Synthesize, don't list | Discuss cell-defining work; cluster confirmatory studies in citations |
| Calibrated confidence | "Robust", "mixed", "contested", "unknown" used precisely (ties to balance) |
| Active, concrete prose | Prefer plain verbs over nominalizations; one idea per sentence |
Write the abstract and introduction LAST
The introduction must promise exactly what the review delivers — so write it once the spine is final. A strong ARPsych intro:
- Hooks with why this topic matters now to a broad readership.
- Frames the organizing question (not the topic label).
- States the spine — "We organize this literature around …".
- Previews the contribution — what the reader will understand differently after.
- Closes by foreshadowing the future-directions agenda.
The abstract is the most-read paragraph: organizing question, the framework, the headline synthesis, and the open agenda — no method-section throat-clearing.

The future-directions close (do not skip it)
ARPsych reviews are expected to end by pointing forward: the open questions, the methodological needs, the contradictions awaiting resolution — ideally the empty cells of your framework (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准). This section is a large part of why the field reads the review; it is not a perfunctory wrap-up.
One voice for multi-author reviews
A co-authored review must read as one author. Assign a single integrator to do a unifying pass; differing section voices are a common reviewer complaint.
Checklist
- Every section visibly advances the framework (no orphan sections)
- Constructs/paradigms/acronyms defined on first use for the adjacent reader
- Mechanisms explained, not just effects tallied
- Confidence language calibrated (robust/mixed/contested/unknown used precisely)
- Abstract + introduction written last; intro states the organizing question and spine
- Future-directions section is substantive and tied to the framework's open cells
- A non-specialist psychologist test-reader can follow it end to end
- Multi-author draft passed through one integrating voice
Anti-patterns
- Primary-paper register: long methods-style passages, no synthesis
- Jargon dump with undefined acronyms (loses the adjacent reader)
- "Study A found… Study B found…" narration with no argument (the list trap)
- A perfunctory or missing future-directions section
- Overclaiming ("X is established") where the evidence is contested
- A co-authored review that reads as stitched-together sections
- Writing the intro first, then drifting from it as the spine changes
