What it does

Jms Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when prose and structure are the bottleneck for a Journal of Management Studies (JMS) manuscript — landing the abstract and intro, sustaining a theory-forward narrative, and meeting house conventions (Harvard refs, UK/US English, 200-word abstract). Polishes the writing; it does not invent the contribution (jms-contribution-framing) or run the analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Prose and structure are the bottleneck for a Journal of Management Studies (JMS) manuscript — landing the abstract and intro
  • Sustaining a theory-forward narrative
  • Meeting house conventions (Harvard refs
  • 200-word abstract)

Example prompts

  • “/jms-writing-style”

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

Jms Writing Style loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 529 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 prose and structure are the bottleneck for a Journal of Management Studies (JMS) manuscript — landing the abstract and intro, sustaining a theory-forward narrative, and meeting house conventions (Harvard refs, UK/US English, 200-word abstract). Polishes the writing; it does not invent the contribution (jms-contribution-framing) or run the analysis.

Writing Style (jms-writing-style)

When to trigger

  • The introduction takes three pages to reach the point
  • The abstract describes activity ("we examine…") instead of stating the contribution
  • The prose is jargon-dense, hedged, or reads like a methods report rather than an argument
  • A reviewer says "I had to dig for the contribution" or "the writing obscures the idea"
  • House conventions (Harvard referencing, abstract length, UK/US English consistency) are unmet

The JMS voice

JMS prose is theory-forward and argumentative — every section advances the contribution, and the reader is told why this matters early and often. It is scholarly but not opaque: the journal's international readership rewards clarity over field-insider shorthand. Write the paper around the claim, not around the chronology of what you did. Do this section by section.

Section-by-section moves

  • Title: signal the phenomenon and the theoretical angle; avoid a method-only title.
  • Abstract (≤200 words): phenomenon → tension → what you did → what you found → what it contributes. State the contribution in the abstract, not just the activity. Provide 4–6 keywords in alphabetical order (verify; 检索于 2026-06;以官网为准).
  • Introduction: by the end of page two the reader should know the phenomenon, the tension, the contribution, and the design. Open with the puzzle, not a literature tour.
  • Theory section: lead each block with its claim; cite to build the argument, not to demonstrate reading. For qualitative work, narrate the journey from data to model.
  • Methods/findings: write findings as an argument, not a data dump; for qualitative work, weave quotes into theoretical claims rather than listing them.
  • Discussion: open by restating the contribution (from jms-contribution-framing), then implications for theory, then for practice, then bounded limitations and future directions.

House conventions to enforce

  • Harvard author-date referencing throughout: "(Author, Year)" in text, alphabetical reference list, page numbers for quotes "(Author, Year, p. XX)". Verify against current author guidance.
  • UK or US English — pick one and be consistent.
  • Double-spaced throughout including notes and references; endnotes only, kept minimal (no footnotes).
  • Declare any use of AI (including copy-editing) per current policy.
  • Keep total length within 10,000–13,000 words inclusive of tables, figures, and references; over-length manuscripts can be returned before review.
Show full SKILL.md (179 more words)Show less

Prose discipline

  • Cut throat-clearing ("It is important to note that…"); start sentences with their subject.
  • Replace nominalisations with verbs ("we theorise" not "a theorisation is offered").
  • One idea per paragraph, with a topic sentence that states the claim.
  • Define each construct once, then use the term consistently — do not switch synonyms.

Checklist

  • The contribution is stated in the abstract and by page two of the intro
  • Each section leads with its claim, not its activity
  • Qualitative quotes are woven into theory, not listed
  • Abstract ≤200 words; 4–6 alphabetical keywords
  • Harvard author-date referencing applied consistently; UK/US English consistent
  • Double-spaced, endnotes only; AI use declared
  • Total length within the inclusive 10,000–13,000-word budget
  • Constructs defined once and used consistently

Anti-patterns

  • Activity abstract: "this paper examines X" with no contribution stated
  • Literature-tour intro: pages of citations before the puzzle appears
  • Data-dump findings: results listed in run order rather than as an argument
  • Quote listing: qualitative quotes stacked without theoretical interpretation
  • House-style misses: wrong citation style, over-length, mixed UK/US English, footnotes instead of endnotes
  • Hedge fog: so many qualifiers the claim disappears
