Individual skill
bjps-writing-style
Use when drafting or polishing a British Journal of Political Science (BJPS) manuscript so it reads for a broad, international political-science audience, follows Cambridge's house (Harvard author-date) style, and fits the word caps (Research Articles ~10,000 words; Letters ~4,000; abstract <= 150 words). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

# Writing Style (bjps-writing-style)
A BJPS paper must be readable by a political scientist outside its subfield and outside its country of
study, formatted to **Cambridge's house style** (Harvard author-date referencing), and disciplined to
the word cap. This skill is about reaching a broad, international readership and respecting the format
— not about generating claims.
## When to trigger
- Drafting the introduction, framing the contribution, or final polish
- Over the word cap and needing to cut without losing the argument
- Writing the **≤ 150-word abstract**
- Aligning citations/headings/format to Cambridge's house style before submission
