What it does

Aistats Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when revising an AISTATS paper for concise AI-statistics framing, theorem-and-experiment clarity, 8-page two-column compression, double-blind wording, reproducibility clarity, statistically careful claims, and assumption-labeling discipline that survives statistician reviewers.

Its SKILL.md is about 870 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Brand voice and tone, Reproducible research and Statistics. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Revising an AISTATS paper for concise AI-statistics framing
  • Theorem-and-experiment clarity
  • 8-page two-column compression
  • Double-blind wording

Example prompts

  • “/aistats-writing-style”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Aistats Writing Style loads about 865 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 383 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~865

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when revising an AISTATS paper for concise AI-statistics framing, theorem-and-experiment clarity, 8-page two-column compression, double-blind wording, reproducibility clarity, statistically careful claims, and assumption-labeling discipline that survives statistician reviewers.

AISTATS Writing Style

Use this when revising the main paper. AISTATS papers need compact statements of why a statistical or ML contribution matters and enough detail for technical validation.

Revision rules

  • Put the AI/statistics contribution in the first page: problem, gap, method or theorem, evidence, and why existing methods are insufficient.
  • Make assumptions explicit. AISTATS reviewers are sensitive to hidden distributional, asymptotic, optimization, or data-generating assumptions.
  • Pair every major claim with either proof structure, simulation design, empirical table, or reproducibility detail.
  • Use the 8-page body for core logic; move long derivations, extra simulations, and extended ablations to the appendix without making the main paper unintelligible.
  • Avoid overclaiming empirical wins when differences are small or variance is unreported.
  • Maintain double-blind style in self-citations, prior code references, acknowledgements, funding, and artifact descriptions.

Theorem-presentation discipline

  • Number assumptions and cite them by label inside every theorem statement; AISTATS readers audit assumption flows the way software reviewers audit imports.
  • Give each major theorem a proof sketch in the body; the appendix proof supports the sketch but never replaces it.
  • Keep problem-dependent constants visible or explicitly deferred; silently absorbing dimension or condition numbers into O-notation is a standing statistician complaint.
  • Define notation once in one location — two-column pages punish redundant redefinition.
  • Phrase remarks after theorems as interpretation, not as extra unproved claims; AISTATS reviewers treat every declarative sentence near a theorem as something they may verify.
  • When a result is conjectured or only empirically supported, label it so; mixing proved and observed statements in one paragraph is a credibility leak at this venue.

Sentence-level rewrites

Draft patternAISTATS-safe rewrite
"Our method significantly outperforms...""reduces mean error by X (SE Y) over Z seeded runs"
"Under mild conditions...""Under Assumptions 1-3 (boundedness, ...)"
"It is easy to see that...""By Lemma 2 and the triangle inequality..."
"Achieves state-of-the-art..."Claim scoped to the regimes actually tested

Vignette: compressing into eight two-column pages

A draft with three theorems, six figures, and a sprawling related-work section: keep all theorem statements, one sketch each, and the two decision-critical figures (the rate plot and the coverage plot); compress related work into contribution contrasts; move secondary lemmas and four figures to the appendix with explicit forward references. The test of a good cut: a reviewer should reconstruct the whole argument without ever opening the supplement.
