What it does

Jaar Writing Style is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when drafting or polishing the prose of a Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR) article so it is clear, analytic, gender-neutral, and readable across the study of religion.

Its SKILL.md is about 760 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 Citation management. 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 the prose of a Journal of the American Academy of Religion (JAAR) article so it is clear
  • Readable across the study of religion

Example prompts

  • “/jaar-writing-style”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Argument-forward. Lead paragraphs with claims; use evidence to support them. The reader should
  2. Accessible across the field. Define specialist terms and transliterations on first use; gloss
  3. Analytic, not confessional or hagiographic. Describe believers' claims precisely; keep your

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

Jaar Writing Style loads about 760 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 278 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~760

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 278 words (~760 tokens).

“A JAAR article should read as rigorous humanities scholarship that a religion scholar outside your area can follow with pleasure. The prose must carry an argument (not just inform), define its terms, and meet JAAR's house conventions (gender-neutral language, serial…”
