About this skill
What does the jleo-writing-style skill do?

Use when the prose, introduction, or abstract of a Journal of Law, Economics, and Organization (JLEO) manuscript needs to land its institutional/organizational contribution for an OUP economics-of-institutions audience. Sharpens framing and exposition; it does not change the analysis or the model.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill jleo-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.
