Context cost

Devpsych Writing Style loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 544 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.5k

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.

Writing Style (devpsych-writing-style)

Writing well for Developmental Psychology means making a credible developmental-change argument in APA 7th-edition style, sized to the right length tier, with the journal's two distinctive front-matter elements done right: the abstract and the Public Significance Statement. The prose should foreground change (age, trajectory, mechanism), not just a finding measured in an age group.

When to trigger

Drafting the Introduction/Discussion or doing final polish
Sizing the manuscript to the correct length tier
Writing the abstract and the Public Significance Statement
Aligning statistics reporting to JARS and citations to APA 7th edition

Know the format (verify volatile numbers on the official page)

Length tiers (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准): roughly ~4,500 words for a brief report, ~10,500 words for a larger research report, and ~15,000 words for a multi-study or comprehensive longitudinal report; total length counts the cover page, abstract, text, references, tables, and figures.
Abstract: an APA-style abstract on the abstract/keywords page (confirm the current word ceiling).
Public Significance Statement: 2–3 brief sentences (~30–70 words) on the relevance/public-health significance of the study, in lay-accessible language, on the abstract/keywords page.
Style: APA 7th edition; JARS reporting (JARS-Quant / JARS-Qual / MARS) for the method used.

Writing to the format

Front-load the developmental claim. The Introduction states the developmental question, the gap (change/age/mechanism), and the contribution early (see devpsych-literature-positioning).
Report under JARS. Method and Results must give the detail JARS requires — sampling, exclusions, measures, effect sizes with CIs, missing-data handling — so the study is evaluable and replicable.
Discussion interprets change. Lead with what the trajectory/interaction means developmentally and for theory; state constraints on generality (ages, cohorts, populations) and limitations honestly.
Public Significance Statement. In 2–3 plain sentences, say what the developmental finding means for families, educators, clinicians, or policy — no jargon, no overclaim beyond the design.
APA 7th edition. Headings, bias-free and developmentally precise language (specify ages, not "kids"), author–date citations, and statistics with effect sizes and intervals.

Worked micro-example — abstract + Public Significance Statement (illustrative)

For the three-wave effortful-control package; confirm current length rules on the official page.

Abstract (excerpt): In a preregistered three-wave study of 300 children
(ages 4-8), effortful control showed positive within-person growth
(latent slope b = 0.42/year, 95% CI [0.31, 0.53]); higher maternal
scaffolding at wave 1 predicted steeper growth (b = 0.18 [0.07, 0.29]).
Measurement invariance held across waves. ...

Public Significance Statement (2-3 sentences, ~30-70 words):
This study shows that young children's self-control grows steadily between
ages 4 and 8, and that supportive, contingent parenting early on is linked
to faster growth. The findings suggest that helping caregivers scaffold
self-control in the preschool years may pay developmental dividends.

Length-tier allocation (illustrative)

Section	Note
Introduction	developmental question, gap, contribution by paragraph two
Method	JARS detail: sample, ages, measures, invariance plan, missing-data model
Results	effect sizes + CIs; invariance reported before change; figures embedded per APA
Discussion	meaning of the change + constraints on generality + limitations
Public Significance Statement	2-3 lay sentences on the developmental relevance
Online supplemental material	robustness, full models, extra studies — keeps the tier in budget

Prose-stage reviewer pushback and the venue fix

"Reads as a single-age study" → reframe the prose around change/age/mechanism; lead with the trajectory.
"Public Significance Statement is jargon / missing" → rewrite in 2-3 plain sentences; do not overclaim.
"Stats without effect sizes" → report effect sizes and CIs inline, per JARS.
"Over the length tier" → move robustness and full models to online supplemental material.

Anti-patterns

A Discussion that restates results instead of interpreting the developmental meaning
A Public Significance Statement written in jargon, omitted, or overclaiming beyond the design
Imprecise developmental language ("kids," vague age labels) instead of specified ages
Statistics reported without effect sizes / confidence intervals (JARS non-compliance)
Padding to (or busting) the length tier instead of using online supplemental material

Output format

【Length tier】brief / larger / multi-study-longitudinal — within limit? [Y/N]
【JARS】method + results give required detail (ES+CI, exclusions, missing data)? [Y/N]
【Abstract】APA-style, within ceiling, change foregrounded? [Y/N]
【Public Significance Statement】2-3 plain sentences (~30-70 words)? [Y/N]
【APA 7th】headings, bias-free + age-precise language, citations? [Y/N]
