jmgmt-writing-style
Use when the prose, introduction, or abstract is the bottleneck for a Journal of Management (JOM) manuscript — the theory-forward intro, the 250-word abstract, the 15-word title, APA voice, and enforcing the 50-page (inclusive) limit. Polishes the writing; it does not build the contribution (jmgmt-contribution-framing) or fix exhibits (jmgmt-tables-figures).

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 (jmgmt-writing-style) ## When to trigger - The introduction reviews literature before it states the puzzle and the contribution - The abstract exceeds **250 words** or the title exceeds **15 words** (the portal caps) - The manuscript is over the **50-page** inclusive limit - The prose buries the mechanism under jargon and hedging - A reviewer says "the writing is dense" or "I had to hunt for the contribution" ## The JOM introduction (theory-forward) JOM intros earn attention fast. A reliable structure: 1. **Hook to a real management problem or tension** (one paragraph) — the phenomenon, not a literature recap. 2. **The gap / problematized assumption** — what the literature takes for granted that is questionable. 3. **What this paper does** — the question, the theory invoked, and the design in one or two sentences. 4. **The contribution** — 2–4 explicit sentences ("we contribute to X by showing Y, which changes Z"), consistent with the discussion. 5. **A short roadmap** only if the paper is complex. Keep hypotheses out of the intro; they belong in the developed theory section. The reader should know *why the paper matters* by the end of page two. ## Title and abstrac

What does the jmgmt-writing-style skill do?

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