ijoc-writing-style
Use when the prose, abstract, or introduction of an INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) manuscript buries the computational advance or misreads the house voice. Makes the method land for an OR-meets-CS readership; it does not change the underlying results.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Writing Style (ijoc-writing-style) ## When to trigger - The abstract reads like an application summary and never states the computational advance - The introduction takes pages to reach "what is new computationally" - The method section is unreadable prose where pseudocode and structured statements belong - The paper is over the **25-page limit** and needs tightening, not just trimming - A coauthor wants the draft to read like an IJOC paper, not a CS conference paper or an OR theory paper ## The IJOC voice IJOC readers are OR/MS researchers comfortable with computation and CS researchers comfortable with OR — write for both. The voice is **precise, methods-forward, and quantitative**: state the problem, state the method, state what it provably and empirically achieves, in that order. Avoid two failure modes the readership notices instantly — the *application-essay* voice that delays the method, and the *CS-conference* voice that drops OR rigor (no problem formulation, no fair baseline discussion). The house format reinforces brevity: single-column, 1.5-spaced, 12-point, 1-inch margins, with a **≤300-word abstract carrying no formulas or mathematical notation** (检索于 2026-06；以官网为准)

What does the ijoc-writing-style skill do?
Use when the prose, abstract, or introduction of an INFORMS Journal on Computing (IJOC) manuscript buries the computational advance or misreads the house voice. Makes the method land for an OR-meets-CS readership; it does not change the underlying results.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ijoc-writing-style --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
