What it does
Ahr Writing Style is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when drafting or polishing the prose of an American Historical Review (AHR) manuscript so it reads with clarity and authority for historians across all fields. The AHR rewards lucid, narrative-aware scholarly prose, not jargon. Tightens voice and readability; it does not invent content or argument.
Its SKILL.md is about 830 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 and Plain language and style rules. 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
- Tasks that involve Brand voice and tone
- Tasks that involve Plain language and style rules
Example prompts
- “/ahr-writing-style”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Lead with the idea. Each paragraph should advance the argument; the reader should never have to
- Minimize jargon; define terms of art. A historian of another field should follow your argument.
- Frame your evidence. Introduce a quotation, say what to notice, then interpret it — never let a
- Control tense and voice. Narrate the past in the past tense; keep an authoritative but not
- Tell the story while you argue. History rewards narrative momentum; carry the reader through
- Quote with care. Reproduce sources accurately; use ellipses and brackets honestly; translate
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
Ahr Writing Style loads about 831 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 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.
SKILL.md
Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 345 words (~831 tokens).
“The AHR is read by historians of every period and place. Its best articles are written in clear, authoritative, narrative-aware prose that a specialist in another field can follow with pleasure. This skill is about voice and readability — not…”
