An APSR paper must be readable by a political scientist outside its subfield, formatted to the APSA Style Manual for Political Science, and disciplined to the word cap. This skill is about reaching the discipline and respecting the format — not about generating claims.
Apsr Writing Style is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the content-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/apsr-writing-style/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when drafting or polishing an American Political Science Review (APSR) manuscript so it reads for the whole discipline, follows the APSA Style Manual, and fits the word caps (most Articles < 11,000 words; Research Notes < 7,000; abstract <= 150 words). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.
The Apsr Writing Style Claude Code skill is built for content creators, marketers, copywriters, SEO professionals, and editorial teams. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 117,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
