What it does

Jedpsych Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or polishing a Journal of Educational Psychology manuscript to fit its format — generally under 12,000 words (excluding references/tables/figures/appendices), a 250-word abstract, APA 7th-edition style, double-spaced, and fully masked for blind review. Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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

Jedpsych Writing Style loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 630 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 polishing a Journal of Educational Psychology manuscript to fit its format — generally under 12,000 words (excluding references/tables/figures/appendices), a 250-word abstract, APA 7th-edition style, double-spaced, and fully masked for blind review. Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

Writing Style (jedpsych-writing-style)

The Journal of Educational Psychology uses a full-length APA format with real room to develop theory, method, and results — manuscripts generally do not exceed 12,000 words excluding references, tables, figures, and appendices (检索于 2026-06;以官网为准), with a 250-word abstract, APA 7th edition style, double-spaced. Writing well here means a disciplined empirical arc that earns its length, stays masked, and keeps the educational-psychology contribution legible throughout. This skill is about fitting and polishing — not generating claims.

When to trigger

  • Drafting the manuscript or doing final polish
  • Over the word budget and needing to cut without losing the argument
  • Writing the 250-word abstract
  • Aligning to APA 7th edition and anonymizing for masked review

The format (know it cold)

  • Length: generally ≤ 12,000 words (≈ 40 double-spaced pages, 12-pt Times New Roman), excluding references, tables, figures, and appendices.
  • Abstract: ≤ 250 words on a separate page.
  • Style: APA 7th edition, double-spaced; statistics reported with effect sizes and CIs.
  • Masked review: the first page omits author names/affiliations; avoid self-identifying grant numbers, IRB/institution names, and self-citations phrased in the first person ("our prior work" → third-person).
  • Verify volatile numbers (word limit, abstract limit, page count) on the official submission page.

Writing to the format

  1. Earn the length, don't fill it. 12,000 words is room for a real Introduction, Method, Results, and Discussion — not a survey. Every section should advance the contribution (see jedpsych-literature-positioning).
  2. Front-load the contribution. State the educational question, the gap, and what is new early; the reader should know the contribution before the Method.
  3. Method earns trust. Report the design at the right level (nesting, randomization, power, measures, fidelity) in enough detail to replicate — this is where JEP rigor is judged.
  4. Results report estimates, not just stars. Effect sizes with CIs and educational interpretation, multilevel/SEM detail; lead with the confirmatory tests, label exploratory ones.
  5. Discussion interprets, then bounds. Lead with what the result means for learning theory and practice; state limitations and constraints-on-generality honestly; avoid restating Results.
  6. APA 7th + masked. Headings, statistics, bias-free language, author-date citations; scrub every identity cue before submission.

Worked micro-example — a 250-word abstract skeleton (illustrative)

For the cluster-randomized reading trial, the abstract states the question, design (with nesting), result (effect + CI + meaning), and an implication. Confirm the current abstract limit on the official page.

[Question] Does teacher-delivered comprehension-strategy instruction improve
transfer to novel texts? [Design] A preregistered cluster-randomized trial
(48 classrooms, 1,089 upper-elementary students) compared strategy
instruction with business-as-usual, using a two-level model with a pretest
covariate. [Result] Strategy instruction raised transfer comprehension
(g = 0.23, 95% CI [0.06, 0.40]; ~2 months of progress); gains in
metacognitive monitoring mediated about 40% of the effect. [Implication]
Explicit strategy instruction produces educationally meaningful, mechanism-
consistent transfer in authentic classrooms. [≈ 110 words; expand to ≤ 250.]

Discussion~20–25%meaning + practice, then limitations/constraints
(excluded)references, tables, figures, appendicesdo not count toward the limit

Cutting-to-format playbook

  • Move full measurement models, every robustness specification, and item-level detail to online supplemental material; cite in one sentence.
  • Replace dichotomous "significant" sentences with estimation phrasing — often shorter and more venue-appropriate.
  • If the Discussion restates Results, delete the restatement; lead with interpretation and practice.
  • Compress chronological background into engagement with the contrast class (handoff to jedpsych-literature-positioning).

Prose-stage reviewer pushback and the venue fix

  • "Reads like a review article" → cut survey background; deepen the contrast class and the contribution.
  • "Stats without effect sizes" → report effect sizes and CIs inline, with educational interpretation.
  • "I can infer who the authors are" → scrub self-citations, grant numbers, site/IRB names for masked review.
  • "Over the word limit" → push secondary material to the supplement; confirm the current limit.

Anti-patterns

  • Filling 12,000 words with survey background instead of advancing the contribution
  • An abstract over 250 words or missing design/effect/implication
  • Results reported as stars without effect sizes, CIs, or educational meaning
  • Self-identifying cues (first-person prior work, grant numbers, institution/IRB names) breaking masking
  • A Discussion that restates Results instead of interpreting and bounding them
