The introduction arc that works: **question → why it is hard (clean identification needed, or a disciplined model) → approach → headline result with its uncertainty → mechanism → contribution & lesson → brief roadmap.** Two house rules: the **headline estimate appears early with units and a standard error / confidence set, never a significance asterisk**, and the **abstract is short and answer-first** (state the finding, not just the topic).

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jeea-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.
