A POQ paper must be readable by both substantive opinion scholars and survey methodologists, and disciplined to the cap for its type. The word count covers text and notes but excludes figures, tables, references, and appendices — so the AAPOR disclosure appendix and exhibits do not count against you. This skill is about reaching the POQ audience and respecting format — not generating claims.
Poq 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/poq-writing-style/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when drafting or polishing a Public Opinion Quarterly (POQ) manuscript so it reads for a public-opinion and survey-methodology audience and fits the type caps (Original Article ≤ 6,500 words of text and notes; Research Note < 3,000; Polls in Context ≤ 2,500). POQ word counts cover text and notes but exclude figures, tables, references, and appendices.
The Poq 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 115,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
