What it does

Agsy Writing Style is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when drafting or polishing an Agricultural Systems (AgSy) manuscript so it reads clearly for a systems-science audience, follows the journal's format, and meets front-matter requirements (abstract <= 250 words, Highlights, graphical abstract). Research papers run to about 8,000 words (no hard cap). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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 Research & Science, covering Brand voice and tone and Markdown. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive collection of Claude Code skills for academic research in economics, finance, and social sciences.

When your agent uses it

  • Polishing an Agricultural Systems (AgSy) manuscript so it reads clearly for a systems-science audience
  • Follows the journals format
  • Meets front-matter requirements (abstract <= 250 words
  • Graphical abstract)

Example prompts

  • “/agsy-writing-style”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Front-load the systems contribution. By the end of the introduction the reader knows the system,
  2. Define the system early. State boundary, components, and hierarchical level so a non-specialist
  3. Explain the model in plain terms first, then in detail. A reader should grasp what the model does
  4. Argument-first prose. Lead with the systems insight; use model output and statistics to support
  5. Signpost. Clear IMRaD-style structure so a reader can navigate framing → model → evaluation →

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a4b2db. 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

Agsy Writing Style loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 409 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
~1k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 409 words (~1,009 tokens).

“An AgSy paper must be readable by a broad systems-science audience — agronomists, modellers, economists, and environmental scientists — and prepared with the journal's front matter. This skill is about communicating a systems analysis clearly and meeting Elsevier's format, not…”
