What it does
Humrel Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when polishing full-manuscript prose and narrative craft on a Human Relations (HR) manuscript — the reflexive, theoretically-engaged HR voice, intro/abstract, and structure within the 13k cap. Polishes the writing; it does not change the theory or analysis.
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
Humrel Writing Style loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 71 tokens; SKILL.md has 587 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.

Writing Style & Craft (humrel-writing-style)
When to trigger
- The theory and analysis are settled and the prose needs to reach HR's register
- The draft is technically correct but flat, jargon-heavy, or hard to follow
- A process/critical study is written in dead "variance-speak"
- A reviewer praises the idea but calls the writing "dense," "unclear," or "undertheorized in places"
- You are tightening to the 13,000-word cap or writing the 100–200 word abstract
The HR register: reflexive and theoretically engaged
HR prose is scholarly, theoretically engaged, and socially aware — closer to the reflexive register of European organizational social science than to the terse hypothesis-report style. The writing should make the social-theoretical argument visible throughout, keep the human relations at the centre, and (in qualitative/critical work) acknowledge the author's situatedness without lapsing into confession. It is theory-led but readable: a smart reader from sociology, psychology, or organization studies should follow the argument and feel its stakes.
The narrative arc
- Open with the puzzle. The first page should make a smart reader curious about a tension in working life — the anomaly, not a literature catalogue.
- Build tension, then resolution. The paper travels from puzzle → why existing theory falls short → your insight → evidence → reframing.
- Foreground theory throughout. The theoretical thread is visible in every section, not only intro and discussion.
- Earn the surprise. Set up the prior carefully so the reader feels the reversal.
- Close on generativity. End by opening new questions for the social study of work, not by restating findings.
Prose discipline
- Plain, precise English. Concrete verbs, clear subjects; cut nominalizations ("the operationalization of the conceptualization…").
- Define jargon once, then use it consistently. Do not stack neologisms — common at theory-heavy venues and punished when it obscures rather than clarifies.
- One idea per paragraph, with a topic sentence carrying the argument.
- Process voice for process theory: events, sequences, becoming, unfolding, contestation — do not flatten a relational process into "factor A raised outcome B."
Qualitative & critical craft
- Weave informant voice into the analysis; quotes should advance the argument, not decorate it.
- Show enough of the field to make the setting vivid and the inference credible — but keep analytic distance; vivid, not journalistic.
- Make reflexivity methodologically meaningful: how your standpoint shaped access and interpretation.

The intro, abstract, and the word budget
- Write the introduction and abstract last, once the contribution is fixed. The abstract is 100–200 words (检索于 2026-06) and must state, without jargon, the topic/question, approach, and theoretical contribution; supply keywords as key phrases (e.g. "identity work," not "identity").
- The 13,000-word total cap includes references and appendices — cut the literature tour, not the argument. If you are over, trim positioning and redundant robustness prose before cutting analytic depth.
- Keep the manuscript anonymized: no first-person self-citation that reveals authorship, no live URLs, no identifying acknowledgements (double-anonymous review).
Checklist
- Opens with a puzzle about working life, not a literature dump
- A single, traceable theoretical thread runs through every section
- The surprise is set up so the reader feels the reversal
- Jargon defined once and used consistently; nominalizations cut
- Process/critical papers written in process voice, not variance-speak
- Qualitative: informant voice advances the argument; reflexivity is meaningful
- Abstract 100–200 words, jargon-free, states the theoretical contribution; key-phrase keywords
- Within the 13k total cap; manuscript fully anonymized
Anti-patterns
- "Lab-report" prose: mechanical, voiceless, no narrative tension
- Front-loading the literature so the puzzle never lands
- Jargon stacking and undefined neologisms (theoretical-sounding but empty)
- Variance-speak imposed on a process/relational phenomenon
- Quote-dumping with no analytic threading
- A discussion that restates results instead of opening questions
- Author-revealing traces left in a double-anonymous draft
