JAP prose is theory-forward, precise, and APA 7th-edition throughout. The introduction must make the theoretical contribution unmistakable, the method and results must be reported to a high disclosure standard, and the discussion must interpret meaning and boundary conditions — not restate results. Length is commensurate with the contribution (a Feature Article can be substantial; a Research Report is tighter). This skill fits and polishes; it does not generate claims.
Joap Writing Style is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the writing sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/joap-writing-style/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when drafting or polishing a Journal of Applied Psychology (JAP) manuscript to fit APA 7th-edition style, the I-O contribution-forward narrative arc, and the article-type length norms (Feature Article commensurate with contribution; tighter Research Report). Tightens prose, structure, and style; it does not invent content.
The Joap 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 178,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
