What it does
Pmla Writing Style is an agent skill from franklee16/academic-research-skills. Use when drafting or polishing the prose of a PMLA (Publications of the Modern Language Association) essay so it reads clearly for a broad membership of language and literature scholars. PMLA prizes a concise, readable presentation; the prose must carry sophisticated argument without jargon for its own sake. Tightens the writing; it does not invent content or handle citation mechanics.
Its SKILL.md is about 910 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
- Tasks that involve Brand voice and tone
- Tasks that involve Citation management
Example prompts
- “/pmla-writing-style”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Clarity is not simplicity. PMLA rewards subtle argument in lucid prose. Aim for sentences a
- Earn your jargon. Use a technical term when it does real work, and define it on first use.
- Argument-forward sentences. Lead with the claim; let evidence and qualification follow. Avoid
- Quote with purpose. Integrate quotations grammatically; analyze them; never let a block
- Voice and restraint. A distinctive critical voice is welcome; throat-clearing, hedging stacks,
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
Pmla Writing Style loads about 905 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 102 tokens; SKILL.md has 375 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 375 words (~905 tokens).
“A PMLA essay must be readable by a scholar outside its specialty and written with the clarity and grace the journal prizes — a concise, readable presentation that engages its audience. This skill is about prose: making a demanding argument…”
