What it does
Jim Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or revising the prose of a Journal of International Marketing (JIM) manuscript — the 200-word abstract, introduction architecture, precise culture language, and AMA-journal conventions. It polishes expression; substance fixes belong to the upstream skills.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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
Jim Writing Style loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 693 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.

- jim-writing-style
- description
- Use when drafting or revising the prose of a Journal of International Marketing (JIM) manuscript — the 200-word abstract, introduction architecture, precise culture language, and AMA-journal conventions. It polishes expression; substance fixes belong to the upstream skills.
Writing in the JIM Voice (jim-writing-style)
When to trigger
- The abstract exceeds 200 words or reads like a table of contents
- The introduction takes three pages to reach the research question
- Drafts slip into country stereotypes or use "culture" as an all-purpose noun
- The paper is written for methodologists when JIM's readership includes global marketing executives
The abstract: 200 words, third person, decision-forward
JIM caps the abstract at 200 words, written in third person (per the AMA/SAGE guidelines — re-check current wording before submission). Structure that works: one sentence of tension (what the field believed or disputed), one of approach (countries, data, design — numbers included), two or three of findings (directions and the cross-national pattern), one of the managerial rule. Kill throat-clearing ("This paper aims to explore…") and write findings as findings: "brand globalness lifts preference in emerging markets but not developed ones," not "the relationship between globalness and preference is examined."
Introduction architecture (≤ 2 pages)
- The cross-border tension, concretely. Open with the phenomenon a global marketer faces — divergent campaign results across markets, an entry decision, a standardization dilemma — or the theoretical inconsistency across country studies. Not with "Globalization has increased…" (the most deleted first sentence in the field).
- Why existing answers fail across borders. Two or three moves: the domestic canon assumed universality; international evidence conflicts; the mechanism was never taken across an institutional boundary.
- What this paper does. Question, countries and design in one breath, and the answer — JIM readers get the finding in the introduction, not a mystery novel.
- Contribution preview. The ledger rows from
jim-contribution-framing, compressed to a sentence each.
Precision rules for writing about countries and cultures
- Nation ≠ culture. Write "consumers in our Japanese sample," not "the Japanese"; attribute differences to the measured dimension, not to nationality as essence.
- Dimension language over stereotype language. "In high uncertainty-avoidance markets" is a claim; "in cautious cultures like Germany" is a stereotype wearing a citation.
- Anchor direction words. "Higher collectivism" than what? Name the comparison explicitly the first time.
- Home/host discipline. Fix the perspective (whose home?) in the first use and never rotate it silently.
- Translation transparency. When quoting items or respondents, state the language of administration; italicize emic terms and gloss them once.
- No development euphemism drift. Pick one taxonomy (emerging vs. developed; income bands) and hold it; "third-world," never.
Show full SKILL.md (307 more words)Show less
Sentence-level moves that read as JIM
- Verbs carry the theory: mechanisms amplify, suppress, substitute, signal — they do not "play a role."
- One idea per sentence in the hypothesis build-up; the "because" clause gets its own sentence when the logic is subtle.
- Numbers in prose keep their context: "a 12% adaptation premium in weak-IP markets," not "a significant positive effect."
- Present tense for what the paper does and what theory says; past tense for what the data showed.
- Headings that assert ("Globalness Pays Only Where Institutions Are Weak") beat labels ("Results") where the template allows.
- Prune the double qualifier ("may potentially suggest") — one hedge per claim, chosen deliberately.
AMA-journal surface conventions
Author–date citations in AMA marketing-journal style — e.g., (Katsikeas, Leonidou, and Morgan 2000); "and" spelled out, no ampersand in text; references formatted per the current JIM guidelines (re-check the SAGE author instructions rather than trusting a reference manager's "AMA" preset, which is the medical AMA style — a classic trap). First-person plural is acceptable and often cleaner than passive voice. Define each acronym at first use; CET, PBG, and MNE are not universal knowledge even here.
Checklist
- Abstract ≤ 200 words, third person, findings and managerial rule explicit
- Introduction reaches the question within two paragraphs, answer disclosed
- Every country difference in prose attributed to a dimension, not a nationality
- Home/host perspective and development taxonomy consistent throughout
- Hypothesis prose: one idea per sentence, explicit because-clauses
- Citations in marketing-AMA author–date form, not medical-AMA numeric
- No "globalization has increased" opener; no role-playing verbs
Anti-patterns
- Stereotype shorthand ("collectivist consumers like the Chinese") passing as cultural theory
- The mystery-novel structure that withholds findings until page 30
- Abstract listing topics covered instead of results found
- Reference list auto-formatted in numeric medical-AMA style
- Hedging stacked three deep until the claim disappears
- Translationese from a non-English drafting language left unedited — recruit a native-level pass before submission
