What it does
Cscw Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or revising CSCW prose — group-level framing, concepts a field can reuse, participant voice handled with care, theory that earns its keep, and length discipline under the 5,000-12,000-word scrutiny band where contribution is weighed against every page.
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 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.

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
Cscw Writing Style loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 595 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.

- description
- Use when drafting or revising CSCW prose — group-level framing, concepts a field can reuse, participant voice handled with care, theory that earns its keep, and length discipline under the 5,000-12,000-word scrutiny band where contribution is weighed against every page.
CSCW Writing Style
A CSCW paper is judged by readers from several intellectual traditions at once — ethnographers, statisticians, system builders, social theorists — inside a journal process where the same reviewers may read the paper twice. The prose must therefore do two unusual things: make each tradition's part legible to the others, and hold up under a second, more skeptical read during Revise and Resubmit.
Length: no cap, but a scale
CSCW imposes no formal page limit. The 2026-cycle CFP instead put weight on a band: papers under roughly 5,000 words or over roughly 12,000 words attract extra scrutiny, and a paper whose length is incommensurate with its contribution can be desk rejected. Treat length as a claim you are making: every additional section asserts that the contribution needs it. Practical calibration:
- Write the paper the contribution needs, then defend the word count in one sentence. If you cannot, cut until you can.
- Long ≠ thorough. A 14,000-word manuscript signals unedited fieldnotes more often than it signals depth; move protocol detail to appendices.
- Short ≠ crisp. Under ~5,000 words, reviewers will ask whether the study is a workshop paper wearing a journal costume.
The group-level sentence
The single most common style failure at this venue is drift back to the individual user. Audit every claim sentence:
| Drifted (individual) | Anchored (collective) |
|---|---|
| "Users struggled to trust the bot's suggestions" | "Teams routed the bot's suggestions through a senior member before acting on them" |
| "Participants felt burnout" | "The moderation team rotated exposure to harmful content to distribute burnout" |
| "People adopted the feature" | "The community renegotiated its norms around what the feature made visible" |
| "The tool improved efficiency" | "The tool redistributed articulation work from editors to contributors" |
If a finding cannot be written in the right-hand register, either the analysis
stopped too early or the paper belongs at a different venue (cscw-topic-selection).

Concepts, theory, and participant voice
- Name your concept once, define it, then use it consistently. CSCW's canon is full of load-bearing vocabulary (awareness, articulation work, place vs. space). A new concept must be defined against — not merely alongside — the existing terms.
- Theory must produce consequences. Every theoretical frame invoked should change either the analysis or the design discussion. A framework cited in the introduction and never touched again reads as ornament and will be flagged.
- Quote people as evidence, not decoration. Each participant quote should carry analytic weight the surrounding prose then does; a quote that merely restates the preceding sentence is filler. For sensitive communities, paraphrase or lightly alter quotes when verbatim text is reverse-searchable, and say that you did so.
- Report your positionality where it matters — in fieldwork with communities the authors belong to or hold power over, a sentence about the researchers' relationship to the setting is analytic information, not confession.
Calibration under re-review
Because R&R returns to the same reviewers, overclaiming is a double cost: it draws the objection in round one and the check in round two. Write claims that a hostile re-reader can verify against your own data sections:
- Scope every generalization: "in the six communities we studied," "among moderators of crisis-support forums."
- Separate what participants said, what traces show, and what you interpret — with different verbs ("reported," "exhibited," "we read this as").
- Put limitations where they belong analytically, not as a ritual final paragraph.
First-page audit
[Protagonist] Is a group/community/organization the subject of the first
claim sentence? yes / no
[Stake] Does ¶2 say what breaks if the field keeps misunderstanding
this — or just that "little is known"?
[Concept] Is there one named, reusable idea? Can a reviewer paraphrase
it in a sentence?
[Methods+ethics] Are counts, settings, consent posture, and data-sensitivity
handling visible by end of the introduction?
[Length claim] Word count: <n>. One-sentence defense if outside 5,000-12,000.Run the audit again on the revised manuscript before any R&R resubmission — the introduction is where reviewers first test whether the revision was real.
The word-band and template facts reflect the 2026-cycle CFP checked 2026-07-08; confirm they carry into the rolling model before citing them to a co-author.
