PMLA requires MLA style as set out in the most recent edition of the MLA Handbook — the field's own standard, not a generic Chicago or APA format. This skill handles the mechanics: in-text parenthetical citations, a Works Cited list built from the template of core elements, and the conventions for quotation, translation, and discursive notes. Get this right; reviewers and editors notice.
Pmla Citation And Style is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the translation sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/pmla-citation-and-style/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when formatting a PMLA (Publications of the Modern Language Association) essay in MLA style — in-text parenthetical citations keyed to a Works Cited list built from the MLA Handbook's template of core elements, plus quotation, translation, and discursive-note conventions. PMLA requires the most recent MLA Handbook.
