What it does
Msom Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when polishing the prose of a Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) manuscript — front-loading the operational insight, controlling mathematical notation, writing the structured abstract, and applying INFORMS author-year house style within the 32-page typeset cap. Late-stage polish; do not invoke before the model/identification is settled.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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
Msom Writing Style loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 655 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.

- msom-writing-style
- description
- Use when polishing the prose of a Manufacturing & Service Operations Management (M&SOM) manuscript — front-loading the operational insight, controlling mathematical notation, writing the structured abstract, and applying INFORMS author-year house style within the 32-page typeset cap. Late-stage polish; do not invoke before the model/identification is settled.
Writing Style (msom-writing-style)
When to trigger
- The introduction buries the operational insight under notation or literature
- The structured abstract is missing a required part or is jargon-heavy
- Notation is dense, inconsistent, or front-loaded before motivation
- You are reconciling the manuscript to INFORMS author-year style and the page cap
Lead with the operations insight, not the math
M&SOM readers are operations researchers, but the journal prizes clarity and managerial relevance alongside technical validity. Open by stating the operational problem, the decision, and the insight in words before equations. Introduce notation only when it is needed; a reader should grasp the contribution from the introduction without parsing a model. For analytical papers, narrate the structure of the result ("the optimal policy is a threshold that…") rather than dumping the theorem first.
Write the mandatory structured abstract
The abstract is structured, ≤ 300 words, and free of technical jargon, with three required subsections: Problem definition, Methodology-results, and Managerial implications. Draft each as one or two plain sentences. The Managerial-implications subsection is required — never drop it or fill it with notation.
Control notation and structure
- Define every symbol on first use; keep a consistent, minimal notation set; consider a notation table in the supplement.
- Keep proofs out of the main flow (online supplement, ≤ 16 pages); in the body, give intuition for why each result holds.
- Section structure typically runs problem/motivation → model or design → results/structure → numerical or empirical study → managerial insights → conclusion.
House style and the page cap
Use INFORMS author-year (author-date) in-text citations with cited pages where appropriate; order the reference list by first author, number of authors, then year (INFORMS style file v1.6). Write inside the official template — the 32-page cap includes references, tables, figures, and appendices, so tighten prose and push overflow to the supplement rather than shrinking margins or fonts (the template fixes 11-pt, one column, 1-inch margins).
Checklist
- Introduction states problem/decision/insight in words before notation
- Structured abstract: all three required sections, ≤300 words, jargon-free
- Notation defined on first use; minimal and consistent
- Proofs moved to the supplement; intuition kept in the body
- INFORMS author-year citations; reference order per style file v1.6
- Manuscript fits the 32-page typeset cap (overflow to ≤16-page supplement)
Anti-patterns
- A theorem-first introduction with no plain-language operational insight.
- A structured abstract missing Managerial implications or full of symbols.
- Re-deriving results in the body that belong in the supplement.
- Reference list in a non-INFORMS style straight from the reference manager.
- Shrinking fonts/margins to beat the page cap instead of cutting prose.

Prose moves that pass M&SOM's clarity bar
M&SOM weights clarity and managerial relevance alongside validity, so the prose is graded. Narrate the policy form before the theorem; defer notation rather than dumping symbols up front; turn a closing "implications for managers" nod into a specific decision rule; write the abstract in the required structured subsections; and beat the page cap by cutting prose, never by shrinking the template. The test: a competent operations practitioner should grasp the decision, the insight, and the managerial takeaway without parsing a single equation.
Worked micro-example (illustrative)
Vignette: an analytical paper on dynamic capacity allocation for a cloud-computing provider. A theorem-first opening reads "Proposition 1 establishes the value function is concave and the optimal admission policy monotone." The M&SOM rewrite leads with the insight in words: "When demand is volatile, reserve capacity for high-value jobs up to a threshold that tightens as volatility rises." The managerial-implications subsection then carries one plain sentence with an illustrative magnitude — thresholding lifts revenue per server-hour by roughly 8% over first-come-first-served. Same result; the operations insight now leads.
Referee-pushback patterns and the venue fix
- "The introduction is impenetrable until I read the model." → Move the operational insight to the first paragraph; defer notation.
- "The structured abstract is jargon-heavy or missing a section." → Rewrite the required subsections in practitioner language; never drop managerial implications. Keep proofs in the supplement and intuition in the body, respecting the page cap by cutting prose, not formatting.
