What it does
Atc Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or revising an ATC (ACM SIGOPS Annual Technical Conference, formerly USENIX ATC) systems paper — writing a self-standing two-page extended abstract for the round-one gate, structuring the implementation-and-measurement narrative, reporting costs beside gains, and holding the two-column 12-page budget.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Writing & Content, covering Brand voice and tone and Scientific writing. 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 ATC (ACM SIGOPS Annual Technical Conference
- Formerly USENIX ATC) systems paper — writing a self-standing two-page extended abstract for the round-one gate
- Structuring the implementation-and-measurement narrative
- Reporting costs beside gains
Example prompts
- “/atc-writing-style”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- The systems problem — a pain a builder or operator recognizes, in the first breath.
- Why the current design is inadequate — the specific limitation your work removes.
- The contribution — the system or technique, stated as what it does, not "novel."
- The evidence — the real testbed and the headline result (with the metric that matters, e.g.,
- The honest cost — what the design trades away, named not hidden.
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
Atc Writing Style loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 612 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- Use when drafting or revising an ATC (ACM SIGOPS Annual Technical Conference, formerly USENIX ATC) systems paper — writing a self-standing two-page extended abstract for the round-one gate, structuring the implementation-and-measurement narrative, reporting costs beside gains, and holding the two-column 12-page budget.
ATC Writing Style
Write for two audiences in two rounds. In round one, two reviewers read only your two-page extended abstract; in round two, 3-4 reviewers read the full paper. The abstract is review-only, not published, and must stand alone. So ATC writing has a demand no single-round venue makes: the paper's core argument must fit, self-contained, into two pages and expand faithfully into twelve.
The self-standing extended abstract (round-one surface)
A round-one reviewer who reads only the abstract should finish knowing:
- The systems problem — a pain a builder or operator recognizes, in the first breath.
- Why the current design is inadequate — the specific limitation your work removes.
- The contribution — the system or technique, stated as what it does, not "novel."
- The evidence — the real testbed and the headline result (with the metric that matters, e.g., tail latency, throughput at matched cost).
- The honest cost — what the design trades away, named not hidden.
Test it: hand the two pages to a systems colleague without the paper and ask them to state the problem, contribution, testbed, and result. If they cannot, the abstract will lose round one no matter how strong the paper is. A trimmed introduction can work only if it already reads self-contained.
The full-paper arc
ATC papers are implementation-and-measurement narratives:
- Introduction: problem → inadequacy → contribution as systems claims → real-testbed evidence → what changes in practice. Lead with the systems contribution, not a trend sentence.
- Design: the mechanism and the reasons for each choice, tied to the deployment constraint. Reviewers reward a design justified by the problem over one justified by novelty.
- Implementation: enough that a reader believes it was built and could be rebuilt — scale (lines, components), integration points, and what was hard.
- Evaluation: questions first, then answers. End-to-end results and microbenchmarks that isolate the mechanism; baselines that are fair; tails and variance, not just means.
- Costs and limitations: report the trade beside the gain, ideally in the same figure/table. ATC reviewers trust evaluations that volunteer their costs.
Report costs beside gains (the ATC trust move)
Every systems design trades something — CPU on the fast path, memory, write amplification, warm-up, compatibility. The fastest way to earn a systems reviewer's trust is to quantify the cost in the same breath as the win, at a matched operating point (same budget, same load). Concealing the cost is the fastest way to lose it.

Page-budget discipline (two columns, 12 pages)
- ≤ 12 pages full / ≤ 6 short, excluding references and appendices, in two-column 10pt. The two-column format is denser than single-column ACM layouts — a figure-heavy systems paper fills it fast.
- Recover space editorially, never by shrinking the font or margins (a desk-reject ground): cut
redundant background, merge overlapping figures, and move non-decision-critical detail to an
appendix (reviewers are not required to read appendices — see
atc-supplementary). - Keep every claim that decides acceptance inside the body; the appendix and artifact hold support, not load-bearing evidence.
Systems-prose specifics
- Name the testbed early — hardware (CPU/NIC/SSD models), OS/kernel versions, and workloads — so results are legible.
- Quantify, don't adjective — "reduces p99 by X at matched throughput" beats "significantly faster."
- Third-person self-citation for double-blind — never "our earlier system X"; write it as prior work by others.
- Figures earn their space — each should answer an evaluation question a reviewer would ask.
Anti-patterns (ATC-specific)
- A dependent extended abstract that only makes sense after reading the paper — a round-one loss.
- Average-only evaluation with no tail or variance — reads as hiding the interesting cases.
- Novelty-as-argument — asserting "novel" instead of motivating the design from the problem.
- Costs quarantined in a late limitations paragraph instead of reported with the gains.
- Template tampering to fit the page budget — recover space by cutting, not shrinking.
