What it does

Mksc Writing Style is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when polishing the prose of a Marketing Science manuscript — front-loading model intuition before notation, managing the formal apparatus for readability, and following INFORMS author-year style and formatting. Late-stage polish; do not invoke while the model or identification is still unsettled.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 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

  • Polishing the prose of a Marketing Science manuscript — front-loading model intuition before notation
  • Managing the formal apparatus for readability
  • Following INFORMS author-year style and formatting

Example prompts

  • “/mksc-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

Mksc Writing Style loads about 868 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 363 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~868

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 363 words (~868 tokens).

“Marketing Science readers are technical, but the intuition must come first. State the marketing question, the mechanism, and the headline counterfactual in words before the model appears. Each major result should be previewed in plain language ("intuitively, because firms re-optimize…”
