Use when drafting or polishing the prose of a PMLA (Publications of the Modern Language Association) essay so it reads clearly for a broad membership of language and literature scholars. PMLA prizes a concise, readable presentation; the prose must carry sophisticated argument without jargon for its own sake. Tightens the writing; it does not invent content or handle citation mechanics.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'pmla-writing-style' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'pmla-writing-style' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named pmla-writing-style already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '932eb23331721b16e967c59f093781be1928b498' -- 'PMLA-Skills/skills/pmla-writing-style' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'PMLA-Skills/skills/pmla-writing-style' ~/.agents/skills/'pmla-writing-style' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'pmla-writing-style' ~/.claude/skills/'pmla-writing-style' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
