What it does

Jcp Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when writing or revising the prose of a Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) manuscript — the process-led intro, the abstract, the theory build, and the APA-style voice — so the mechanism, not the effect, is the story. Polishes the writing; it does not change the design or analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 and Marketing psychology. 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

  • Revising the prose of a Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) manuscript — the process-led intro
  • The theory build
  • The APA-style voice — so the mechanism

Example prompts

  • “/jcp-writing-style”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. The puzzle — a consumer phenomenon or a tension between what we'd expect and what happens.
  2. The process gap — what the field thinks the mechanism is, and why that's incomplete or wrong.
  3. The contribution — "We propose that [antecedent] affects [outcome] because it [changes mental state M]," with the theory-predicted…
  4. The roadmap — what each study establishes (effect → process → boundary).

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

Jcp Writing Style loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 533 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 writing or revising the prose of a Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) manuscript — the process-led intro, the abstract, the theory build, and the APA-style voice — so the mechanism, not the effect, is the story. Polishes the writing; it does not change the design or analysis.

Writing Style (jcp-writing-style)

When to trigger

  • The introduction opens with an effect or a context, not the psychological process
  • The abstract reports "X affects Y" and never names the mechanism
  • The theory section reads as a literature list rather than an argument toward a mediator
  • Reviewers say the paper is "hard to follow" or "the contribution is buried"
  • The prose is the bottleneck — but only after design and process evidence are stable

Write the mechanism as the protagonist

JCP papers are stories about the consumer's mind. The reader should learn, early, which mental process the paper is about and why it matters — then watch each study tighten the case. The house voice is APA-scientific: precise, hypothesis-driven, economical. Unlike JCR's longer, more discursive intros, JCP prose is tight and process-forward, and the Research Report format (<4,000 words; 检索于 2026-06;以官网为准) rewards severe economy. Do the writing last: an intro that promises a mechanism cannot be finalized until the mediation/moderation evidence is settled.

The process-led introduction

A JCP intro typically moves in four beats:

  1. The puzzle — a consumer phenomenon or a tension between what we'd expect and what happens.
  2. The process gap — what the field thinks the mechanism is, and why that's incomplete or wrong.
  3. The contribution — "We propose that [antecedent] affects [outcome] because it [changes mental state M]," with the theory-predicted moderation that tests it.
  4. The roadmap — what each study establishes (effect → process → boundary).

Lead with the mechanism, not "Marketing managers care about…". The managerial hook can come after the theoretical contribution, never before it.

The abstract

The abstract must name the effect, the process, and the boundary in a few sentences: what shifts, the mental mechanism that drives it, the moderator that proves the mechanism, and the contribution. Reviewers and the editor decide fit from the abstract; an abstract that reports only an effect signals an effect-only paper.

Sentence-level craft

  • Name the construct, then use its logic — invoke a process by its established meaning, not as a label.
  • Hypotheses stated cleanly (H1, H2…), each tied to a study and a link in the chain.
  • No HARKing in the prose: present a priori predictions as predictions, post-hoc insights as exploratory.
  • Active, economical voice; cut throat-clearing ("It is important to note that…").
  • APA mechanics: tense (past for completed studies), statistics formatted per APA, hedge appropriately ("suggests," "is consistent with") when evidence is correlational.

Checklist

  • The intro names the psychological process within the first page
  • The abstract states effect + process + boundary + contribution
  • The contribution is process-led ("because [M]"), not effect-led, throughout
  • Hypotheses are clean, a priori, and mapped to the study chain
  • Managerial relevance is present but subordinate to the theoretical process
  • Voice is tight, APA-scientific; Research Reports respect the word ceiling
  • No HARKing; correlational claims are hedged appropriately

Anti-patterns

  • Effect-first opening: an intro that leads with the finding or the context, not the mechanism
  • Managerial cold open: opening with what firms should do before the theory
  • Process-free abstract: reporting "X affects Y" with no mechanism
  • Literature-list theory: paragraphs of citations with no argument toward the mediator
  • Bloated prose: discursive, hedge-heavy writing that buries the contribution (and busts the Report limit)
  • Tense/HARK slippage: post-hoc accounts written as if predicted a priori
