Drafts publication-ready introductions, discussions, and conclusions for sociology research articles based on theory and findings sections.

Article Bookends is a specialized Claude Code skill designed to help sociologists bridge the gap between research results and a finished manuscript. By analyzing a paper's theory and findings, it generates high-quality framing prose tailored to specific contribution types—such as theory-extension or mechanism-identification—and subfield norms. It ensures structural coherence between the introduction's promises and the conclusion's delivery, utilizing benchmarks derived from an analysis of top-tier journals like AJS and ASR to help researchers meet the rigorous standards of academic publishing.
