jcr-writing-style
Use when polishing the prose of a Journal of Consumer Research (JCR) manuscript — front-loading the consumer insight, writing for an interdisciplinary readership, and conforming to JCR/Chicago house style, the 200-word abstract, and double-anonymized anonymization. Late-stage polish; do not use it to rescue a thin contribution (jcr-contribution-framing).

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Writing Style (jcr-writing-style) ## When to trigger - The argument is buried under jargon or a long literature wind-up - A reviewer from another discipline says the paper is hard to follow - You are finalizing the abstract, headings, and references before submission - You need to confirm Chicago house style and complete anonymization ## Write for an interdisciplinary consumer-research reader JCR's audience spans **psychology, anthropology, sociology, economics, marketing, statistics, and communication**, and the journal is governed by a Policy Board of ~11 sponsoring societies. Your prose must be legible to readers outside your own subfield: define field-specific terms, lead with the **consumption phenomenon and the insight** rather than the method, and avoid in-group shorthand that excludes half the readership. An experimentalist should follow a CCT paper's argument and vice versa. Front-load the contribution. The opening should make the consumer-behavior question, the conceptual stakes, and the "what we learn" vivid before the reader reaches the studies. Carry one explicit contribution sentence into the introduction and discussion (see `jcr-contribution-framing`). ## House sty

What does the jcr-writing-style skill do?
Use when polishing the prose of a Journal of Consumer Research (JCR) manuscript — front-loading the consumer insight, writing for an interdisciplinary readership, and conforming to JCR/Chicago house style, the 200-word abstract, and double-anonymized anonymization. Late-stage polish; do not use it to rescue a thin contribution (jcr-contribution-framing).
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jcr-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.
