What it does
Io Writing Style is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when drafting or polishing an International Organization (IO) manuscript so it reads for international-relations scholars across paradigms, fits the word caps (Research Article <= 14,000; Research Note <= 8,000; Essay <= 10,000, including tables, figures, and notes but excluding the bibliography), and meets IO format conventions (double-blind, third-person self-citation, short author-date footnotes, separate abstract/word-count/acknowledgments). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Citation management and Brand voice and tone. 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 International Organization (IO) manuscript so it reads for international-relations scholars across paradigms
- Fits the word caps (Research Article <= 14
- Research Note <= 8
- Including tables
Example prompts
- “/io-writing-style”
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Front-load the IR contribution. By the end of the introduction the reader knows the
- Speak across rationalist / constructivist / IPE / security divides. Define paradigm-specific
- Argument-first prose. Lead with the IR claim; use evidence to support it. Avoid "the data
- Signpost. Clear section structure so a reader can follow theory → design → evidence.
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
Io Writing Style loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 431 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 431 words (~1,096 tokens).
“An IO paper must be readable by an international-relations scholar from a different tradition, framed around a generalizable IR theory, and disciplined to the word cap. This skill is about reaching the IR field and respecting IO's format — not…”
