Popl Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or revising POPL prose — building the informal-to-formal ramp from a motivating program to definitions to a sharply stated main theorem, keeping notation coherent across 25 pages of text, writing proof sketches that name the hard case, and framing significance as an idea other PL researchers can reuse.
Its SKILL.md is about 960 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.
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Popl Writing Style loads about 959 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 399 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.
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.

.claude/skills/popl-writing-style/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).A POPL paper convinces twice: informally, that the problem is real and the idea natural; formally, that the theorems are exactly true. The craft is the ramp between the two. The 25-pages-of-text budget (POPL 2027 call, read 2026-07-08) is generous compared with old conference caps — the failure mode is not compression but unmotivated formalism.
popl-supplementary takes the rest).| Symptom | Cost at review | Repair |
|---|---|---|
| Same meta-variable for terms and types | Reviewers misread a rule, file a soundness doubt | One notation table, enforced by grep |
| Definitions used pages before they appear | "Paper is unreadable" reviews | Definition-before-use audit on every draft |
| Ambient hypotheses ("we assume all contexts well-formed" once, on p. 6) | Counterexamples that your hidden assumption excludes | Number assumptions; cite by number in each theorem |
| Overloaded ⊢ with no annotation | Rule-reading errors in the response phase | Subscript every judgment form |
A body sketch is not a shortened proof; it is a risk disclosure. Name the induction measure, name the case that fails naively, and say what saves it:
Proof sketch (Thm 4.1). By induction on the typing derivation. The interesting
case is T-Close: the naive IH is too weak because the closure captures a
context extension. We strengthen the statement to quantify over all well-formed
extensions (Lem 4.3); the remaining cases are routine and mechanized (Sound.v).A reviewer who reads that sketch knows you met the hard case, and the appendix or mechanization confirms it.

Popl Writing Style fits situations like: revising POPL prose — building the informal-to-formal ramp from a motivating program to definitions to a sharply stated main theorem; keeping notation coherent across 25 pages of text; writing proof sketches that name the hard case; framing significance as an idea other PL researchers can reuse.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill popl-writing-style -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (POPL-Skills/skills/popl-writing-style in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .claude/skills/popl-writing-style in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill popl-writing-style -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (POPL-Skills/skills/popl-writing-style in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .agents/skills/popl-writing-style in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill popl-writing-style -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/popl-writing-style, .gemini/skills/popl-writing-style, .github/skills/popl-writing-style and .opencode/skills/popl-writing-style in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Popl Writing Style is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Popl Writing Style is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 959 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
