What it does

Jop Writing Style is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when shaping prose, length, and formatting for a The Journal of Politics (JOP) manuscript. JOP counts pages, not words — Research Article <= 35 and Short Article <= 10, double-spaced 12-point, inclusive of notes, references, and exhibits — and follows the JOP Style Guide under double-blind review. Polishes and fits to length; it does not draft the substance.

Its SKILL.md is about 920 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

  • Formatting for a The Journal of Politics (JOP) manuscript
  • Tasks that involve Brand voice and tone
  • Tasks that involve Citation management

Example prompts

  • “/jop-writing-style”

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

Jop Writing Style loads about 916 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 377 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~96
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~916

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 377 words (~916 tokens).

“JOP's binding constraint is pages, not words. The same paper that clears an APSR or AJPS word cap can still overflow JOP's 35-page (Research Article) or 10-page (Short Article) budget — because the count is double-spaced, 12-point and includes notes…”
