Individual skill
fcr-writing-style
Use when drafting or polishing a Field Crops Research (FCR) manuscript so it reads for a general agronomy/crop-science audience, follows FCR structure, and meets the format expectations (abstract <=400 words, 3-5 highlights of <=85 characters, grammatically sound English, concise results, a discussion that interprets rather than repeats). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.

# Writing Style (fcr-writing-style)
An FCR paper must be readable by an agronomist or crop scientist outside your exact crop and region,
written in **grammatically sound English**, and disciplined to FCR's structure: a focused
introduction, complete methods, **concise results that address the objectives**, and a **discussion
that interprets rather than restates** results. This skill is about clarity and format — not about
generating claims.
## When to trigger
- Drafting the introduction, results, or discussion, or doing a final polish
- Writing the **abstract** (≤ 400 words) and the **highlights** (3–5 bullets)
- Tightening a verbose results or discussion section
- Aligning citations and units to the Elsevier/FCR style before submission
