jcp-writing-style
Use when writing or revising the prose of a Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) manuscript — the process-led intro, the abstract, the theory build, and the APA-style voice — so the mechanism, not the effect, is the story. Polishes the writing; it does not change the design or analysis.

The reader should learn, early, *which mental process* the paper is about and *why it matters* — then watch each study tighten the case. The house voice is APA-scientific: precise, hypothesis-driven, economical. Unlike JCR's longer, more discursive intros, JCP prose is tight and process-forward, and the Research Report format (<4,000 words; 检索于 2026-06；以官网为准) rewards severe economy. Do the writing **last**: an intro that promises a mechanism cannot be finalized until the mediation/moderation evidence is settled. ## The process-led introduction A JCP intro typically moves in four beats: 1. **The puzzle** — a consumer phenomenon or a tens

What does the jcp-writing-style skill do?
Use when writing or revising the prose of a Journal of Consumer Psychology (JCP) manuscript — the process-led intro, the abstract, the theory build, and the APA-style voice — so the mechanism, not the effect, is the story. Polishes the writing; it does not change the design or analysis.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jcp-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.
