Individual skill
io-writing-style
Use when drafting or polishing an International Organization (IO) manuscript so it reads for international-relations scholars across paradigms, fits the word caps (Research Article <= 14,000; Research Note <= 8,000; Essay <= 10,000, including tables, figures, and notes but excluding the bibliography), and meets IO format conventions (double-blind, third-person self-citation, short author-date footnotes, separate abstract/word-count/acknowledgments). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

# Writing Style (io-writing-style)
An IO paper must be readable by an international-relations scholar from a different tradition, framed
around a **generalizable IR theory**, and disciplined to the word cap. This skill is about reaching the
IR field and respecting IO's format — not about generating claims.
## When to trigger
- Drafting the introduction, framing the IR contribution, or final polish
- Over the word cap and needing to cut without losing the argument
- Preparing the **abstract, word count, and acknowledgments** (submitted **separately** from the manuscript)
- Aligning citations/footnotes/format to IO conventions before submission
## Reach the IR field (across paradigms)
