Individual skill
revacc-writing-style
Use when the prose is the bottleneck for a Review of Accounting Studies (RAST) manuscript — front-loading the contribution, writing an abstract and introduction that land, and adopting the accounting house voice. Polishes the manuscript; it does not sharpen the contribution claim (revacc-contribution-framing) or build exhibits (revacc-tables-figures).

# Writing Style (revacc-writing-style)
## When to trigger
- The introduction buries the result under setup and literature
- The abstract describes the topic but not the finding or its implication
- The prose is passive, jargon-heavy, or reads like a finance paper that forgot the accounting
- An analytical paper drowns the intuition in notation before the reader sees the payoff
- You are doing the final pass and the manuscript voice does not match RAST's
## Write the contribution first, everywhere
RAST's first-round-decision culture rewards a manuscript whose contribution is unmissable on page one. The intro should reach the **result and its accounting implication within the first page** — not after three pages of institutional background. Use the canonical accounting-paper intro arc, compressed:
