What it does
Mind Writing Style is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when drafting or polishing the prose of a Mind article so the argument is maximally clear to a broad philosophical readership within the ~8,000-word limit. Mind asks that even technical material be accompanied by informal exposition. Tightens sentences and clarity; it does not generate the argument (see mind-thesis-and-argument).
Its SKILL.md is about 930 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 Essays and academic help. 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 Mind article so the argument is maximally clear to a broad philosophical readership within the ~8
- Tasks that involve Brand voice and tone
- Tasks that involve Essays and academic help
Example prompts
- “/mind-writing-style”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Plain, exact prose. Short declarative sentences for the key moves. Say the claim, then support
- Gloss every technicality. When you introduce symbolism, a formal definition, or a term of art,
- Argument-first sentences. Lead with the claim, then the reason — not a wind-up that buries it.
- Define on first use; one term per concept. Do not let a concept drift across two words, or one
- Quote sparingly and purposefully. Use a quotation to fix the target view precisely, not to fill
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
Mind Writing Style loads about 926 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 407 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 407 words (~926 tokens).
“Mind prizes prose that makes a rigorous argument easy to follow. Authors are explicitly asked to present arguments so they are accessible to a broad readership among philosophers, and where technical material appears, to accompany it with informal exposition. This…”
