What it does

Respol Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when prose and structure are the bottleneck for a Research Policy (RP) manuscript — making an interdisciplinary innovation-studies argument land for economists, management scholars, and policymakers at once. Polishes the writing; it does not change the contribution (respol-contribution-framing) or run the submission preflight (respol-submission).

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

  • Management scholars
  • Policymakers at once

Example prompts

  • “/respol-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

Respol Writing Style loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 530 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
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 Research Policy (RP) manuscript — making an interdisciplinary innovation-studies argument land for economists, management scholars, and policymakers at once. Polishes the writing; it does not change the contribution (respol-contribution-framing) or run the submission preflight (respol-submission).

Writing Style (respol-writing-style)

When to trigger

  • The intro takes pages to reach the point; the contribution is hidden on page 4
  • The prose is written for one discipline and opaque to the others RP serves
  • The abstract lists topics ("this paper examines…") instead of stating findings
  • Jargon from one tradition (econometrics, or STS, or strategy) is used without translation
  • A referee says the paper is "hard to follow," "the argument doesn't flow," or "what is the point?"

The Research Policy voice

RP prose must work for an interdisciplinary innovation-studies readership — an economist, a management scholar, and an STI policymaker should each be able to follow the argument. That means leading with the puzzle and the contribution, naming the innovation mechanism in plain terms before formalizing it, and translating any field-specific jargon. The house argument shape links mechanisms, institutions, and technology evidence into a claim about how innovation works or should be governed; writing that stops at "the coefficient is significant" reads as the wrong journal regardless of polish.

RP is not a place for either pure mathematical opacity or pure narrative hand-waving — the writing should be analytically precise and accessible across disciplines.

Structuring the argument

Introduction (the highest-leverage section — write it last)
  • Open with the innovation puzzle or policy tension, not a literature throat-clear.
  • By the end of the first 1–2 pages, state the question, the approach, the headline finding, and the contribution.
  • Signpost the contribution explicitly ("This paper contributes to [innovation-studies conversation] by showing…").
  • Name the policy/managerial stakes early so policymaking readers stay engaged.
Abstract (verify the limit on the guide for authors; ~150–250 words typical for Elsevier journals, 待核实)
  • State the question, data/method, the actual finding (with direction), and the implication. Avoid "this paper examines" with no result.
Body
  • Theory before results; mechanism before estimate; let each section do one job.
  • Translate jargon: define an indicator or a tradition-specific term the first time it appears.
  • Keep the innovation-system / policy thread visible from intro to conclusion.
Show full SKILL.md (203 more words)Show less
Conclusion
  • Restate the contribution, give the earned policy/managerial implication with its scope conditions, and state limitations honestly.

Line-level craft

  • Prefer active voice and concrete subjects; cut hedging stacks ("it may possibly suggest").
  • One idea per paragraph, with a topic sentence carrying the argument.
  • Quantify in the text where it helps a reader judge magnitude (effect size, share), not just significance.
  • Use British or American spelling consistently per the Elsevier guide (待核实) and follow the journal's reference style.

Checklist

  • The contribution is visible within the first 1–2 pages of the intro
  • The abstract states an actual finding with direction, not just a topic
  • Jargon from any one tradition is translated for the others
  • The innovation-mechanism / policy thread runs from intro to conclusion
  • Theory precedes results; each section does one job
  • The conclusion gives an earned, scope-bounded implication
  • Word/abstract limits and reference style follow the guide (verified or 待核实)

Anti-patterns

  • A "funnel" intro that buries the contribution after a long literature recap
  • An abstract that announces topics but reports no finding
  • Single-discipline opacity in an interdisciplinary journal
  • Stopping the prose at statistical significance with no magnitude or mechanism
  • Hedging every sentence until the claim disappears
  • Inconsistent spelling/reference style that signals a careless submission
