sf-writing-style
Use when drafting or polishing a Social Forces (SF) manuscript so it reads for a general social-science audience, follows Chicago Manual of Style (17th ed.) author-date, and fits the reference-inclusive 10,000-word cap. Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

# Writing Style (sf-writing-style)
A Social Forces paper must be readable by a social scientist outside its subfield, formatted to the
**Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition (author-date)**, and disciplined to a cap that — unusually —
**counts the reference list**: **≤ 10,000 words including text, endnotes, and references**. This skill
is about reaching a general audience and respecting that format, not generating claims.
## When to trigger
- Drafting the introduction, framing the contribution, or final polish
- Over the word cap and needing to cut (remember: references count)
- Writing the abstract (English, no references; ~150-200 words is a safe target — exact cap 待核实)
- Aligning citations/headings/format to Chicago 17th author-date before submission
