orgsci-writing-style
Use when polishing the prose of an Organization Science manuscript — front-loading the organizational argument and contribution, writing for an interdisciplinary micro-to-macro audience, and conforming to INFORMS author-date house style. Late-stage polish; do not invoke while the theoretical contribution is still unsettled.

Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Writing Style (orgsci-writing-style) ## When to trigger - The prose buries the argument or the contribution - The paper reads to only one audience (pure micro or pure macro) when it should reach both - Citations and formatting are not in INFORMS author-date style - You are doing a final polish before submission ## Write for an interdisciplinary, micro-to-macro audience Organization Science readers come from organization theory, strategy, sociology, economics, and psychology, and work at every level from individual to population. Write so that a macro reader follows a micro paper and vice versa: define constructs on first use, name the level of analysis explicitly, and translate discipline-specific jargon into organizational terms. The opening pages must make the **organizational phenomenon, the conversation joined, and the contribution** unmistakable — front-load the argument rather than withholding it until the discussion. ## INFORMS house style - **Citations:** author-date, e.g., Norman 1977 or (Norman 1977); reference list alphabetical by author in journal style. - **Format:** double-spaced, 1-inch margins, Garamond- or Times-New-Roman-like fonts (explicitly **no Helvetica Nar

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