wtf is journal-adapt-writing-skill?

This tool helps researchers and academics revise their manuscripts to match the writing style of a specific academic journal. The problem it solves: even well-written papers get rejected partly because different journals have different conventions for how to structure arguments, frame contributions, and present results. Reading and manually adapting to those conventions is time-consuming. The way it works is a two-layer approach. First, you can load optional reusable "static" rules, things like discipline-specific conventions or general academic writing guidelines. Second, and more importantly, you provide a small set of actual published papers from your target journal (around 5-8 papers is the recommended starting point). The tool analyzes this corpus to extract the journal's local writing patterns and produces a visible, editable revision guide. An AI agent then uses that guide to revise your manuscript section by section, keeping a log of every change made. You would use this when preparing to submit a paper to a competitive journal and wanting your writing style to match what that journal actually publishes, not just generic academic writing rules. The output is a set of revised section files plus a revision summary, ready to be transferred into your LaTeX or Word document. It works with Claude Code and supports PDF or Markdown inputs.
