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.
# Main-Text Writing & Format (sci-writing) ## When to trigger - Unsure whether the work is a **Report** or a **Research Article**. - The main text is over length, or Methods are bloating the body. - The structure wanders (lab-notebook order instead of argument order). - Co-authors keep adding paragraphs and the paper is creeping past budget. ## Pick the format first | Format | Use when | Main-text
What does the sci-writing skill do?
Use when choosing the Science (AAAS) format (Research Article vs Report) and holding its length and structure budgets — main-text word caps, figure caps, argument-ordered Results, and deciding what belongs in the main text versus Supplementary Materials.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill sci-writing --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.
