What it does

Jpart Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or polishing a Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART) manuscript so it reads as theory-plus-rigor, follows OUP author-date style, and fits the ~12,000-word cap that includes the abstract, tables, and references. Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

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.

When your agent uses it

  • Polishing a Journal of Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART) manuscript so it reads as theory-plus-rigor

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

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

Jpart Writing Style loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 575 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 Public Administration Research and Theory (JPART) manuscript so it reads as theory-plus-rigor, follows OUP author-date style, and fits the ~12,000-word cap that includes the abstract, tables, and references. Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

Writing Style (jpart-writing-style)

A JPART paper must read as a public-management theory contribution carried by rigorous evidence, formatted to the journal's OUP author-date style, and disciplined to the word cap. JPART's own guidance asks the abstract to state the theoretical approach, method and data, results, and implications for theory — the paper should follow the same arc.

When to trigger

  • Drafting the introduction, framing the contribution, or final polish
  • Over the word cap and needing to cut without losing the argument
  • Writing the abstract (theory → method/data → results → implications for theory)
  • Aligning citations/headings/format to OUP author-date style before submission

Lead with theory, support with rigor

  1. Front-load the theoretical contribution. By the end of the introduction the reader knows the PA theory at stake, the mechanism, the design, the headline result, and what it means for theory.
  2. Name the mechanism in plain language. Don't make the reader infer why the relationship holds — state the public-management logic (incentives, motivation, identity, institutions).
  3. Argument-first prose. Lead with claims about the theory; use evidence to support them. Avoid "the data show…" without saying what they show and why it matters for public management.
  4. Signpost lightly. Clear structure, but no seven-section roadmap padding the word count.

Format to JPART / OUP style

  • Citations: author-date in text, alphabetical reference list with DOIs; keep one consistent style (manage with Zotero/BibTeX).
  • Keywords: 3–5; the first three should signal theory, research theme, and method (JPART convention).
  • Abstract: state theoretical approach → method and data → results → implications for theory.
  • Anonymize: JPART is double-blind — omit your name and funding from the manuscript, cite your own work in the third person, and keep acknowledgments/funding on the cover sheet only.

Abstract stress test

Draft the abstract as four disciplined sentences before polishing the manuscript:

  1. Theory: What public-management theory or mechanism is at stake?
  2. Method/data: What design, case, sample, and data identify or illuminate the mechanism?
  3. Result: What is the directional, substantive finding in units a reader can understand?
  4. Implication for theory: What should the field believe, qualify, or test differently?

If sentence 1 could describe any public-sector setting, the paper is not framed tightly enough. If sentence 4 says only "policy implications," route back to jpart-topic-selection or jpart-theory-building.

Fit the word cap (~12,000 words including abstract, tables, references)

  • Move balance tables, full specs, and extended robustness to the online supplement.
  • Cut throat-clearing and literature dumps; engage the conversation, not every paper (see jpart-literature-positioning).
  • Because the cap counts references, prune citation padding; keep the works that constitute the debate.
  • Prefer one decisive marginal-effects figure to three redundant tables.

Cut in this order when over budget:

  1. Generic PA throat-clearing that does not define the mechanism.
  2. Literature paragraphs with no role in the contribution claim.
  3. Redundant robustness prose already visible in tables or supplement.
  4. Repeated method description across text, exhibit notes, and appendix.
  5. Secondary mechanisms that cannot be adjudicated by the design.

Do not cut the theory contribution, scope conditions, or design limits; those are what make the paper reviewable at JPART.

Anti-patterns

  • An empirics-first intro that never states the theoretical contribution (reads atheoretical)
  • Burying the mechanism and the "implications for theory" in the conclusion
  • An abstract that reports results but never names the theoretical approach
  • Mixed citation styles; acknowledgments or self-references that break double-blind anonymity
  • Forgetting that the word cap counts the abstract, tables, and references

Output format

【Theory stated by end of intro?】[Y/N]
【Mechanism named in plain language?】[Y/N]
【Abstract】theory → method/data → results → implications for theory? [Y/N]
【Cut order used】generic setup / unused literature / redundant robustness / repeated methods / secondary mechanisms
【Word count】≤ ~12,000 incl. abstract/tables/references? [Y/N]
【OUP author-date + 3-5 keywords + anonymized】[Y/N]
