What it does

Cikm Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when revising a CIKM manuscript for the tri-community readership — writing an opening that lands with IR, data-mining, and knowledge-management reviewers simultaneously, compressing into appendix-inclusive page budgets, keeping claims inside the evidence, and maintaining double-blind and disclosure-compliant prose.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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. 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 a CIKM manuscript for the tri-community readership — writing an opening that lands with IR
  • Knowledge-management reviewers simultaneously
  • Compressing into appendix-inclusive page budgets
  • Keeping claims inside the evidence

Example prompts

  • “/cikm-writing-style”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. The information problem in domain terms — what is being retrieved, mined,
  2. Why the boundary is the hard part. CIKM contributions usually live where
  3. The mechanism, named. One clause a mining reviewer can repeat in their
  4. The evidence preview, calibrated. Datasets, baselines, and the honest size

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

Cikm Writing Style loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 792 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 revising a CIKM manuscript for the tri-community readership — writing an opening that lands with IR, data-mining, and knowledge-management reviewers simultaneously, compressing into appendix-inclusive page budgets, keeping claims inside the evidence, and maintaining double-blind and disclosure-compliant prose.

CIKM Writing Style

A CIKM paper is read in three accents at once. The IR reviewer scans for the task and the evaluation; the mining reviewer scans for the mechanism and its delta; the KM/database reviewer scans for the data reality — schemas, scale, heterogeneity, noise. Style at this venue means making all three scans succeed in the first page, inside a budget where appendices offer no escape (10 pages including them for 2026 full papers).

The first page, three scans deep

Order the opening so each lane hits its anchor early:

  1. The information problem in domain terms — what is being retrieved, mined, linked, or integrated, and for whom.
  2. Why the boundary is the hard part. CIKM contributions usually live where lanes meet; say which interaction breaks existing single-lane methods ("KG completion models assume static graphs; enterprise search feeds them a stream").
  3. The mechanism, named. One clause a mining reviewer can repeat in their review.
  4. The evidence preview, calibrated. Datasets, baselines, and the honest size of the win — with the deployment or resource evidence up front if the track demands it.

If the paper cannot state point 2, it is a single-lane paper and cikm-topic-selection should re-run before more polishing.

Vocabulary discipline across lanes

Cross-community words are where CIKM drafts leak credibility. Terms with lane- specific meanings — entity, knowledge, relevance, scalable, online — must be pinned at first use. A table of rewrites that recur in CIKM drafts:

Draft habitLane it annoysRepair
"our knowledge-aware model" (never defined)KM-DBName the structure: "a model conditioned on a curated product KG (2.1M triples)"
"significantly better" without a testIRReserve the word for tested significance; else give the margin
"scales to large graphs"miningGive the size, hardware, and growth curve actually measured
"real-world dataset"all threeName the source, size, license, and collection window
"state-of-the-art baseline"mining + IRCite venue + year; stale SOTA claims are checked at review

Budget compression, appendix-inclusive

Because appendices count inside the 2026 budgets, the compression question is not "what moves to the appendix" but "what leaves the PDF." Priority order for cuts: redundant pipeline diagrams; per-dataset tables that repeat one pattern (keep the pattern statement plus the fullest table); hyperparameter grids (→ the cited artifact); derivations of standard results (→ cite). What must stay: everything a reviewer needs to not trust you — evaluation protocol, baseline tuning parity, and the one ablation that isolates the mechanism.

Anonymity and disclosure in prose

Double-blind style at CIKM includes third-person self-citation ("Cao et al. proposed", even when Cao is an author) and de-identified system prose for applied papers — the deployment must stay describable without becoming attributable. The GenAI Usage Disclosure section is also prose: write it in the same factual register as the experiments ("evaluation scripts drafted with a code assistant, reviewed and tested by the authors; manuscript text human-written"), not as legal boilerplate.

Section skeleton for a 10-page full paper

A load-bearing default under the appendix-inclusive budget (adjust, don't worship):

text
1.0 pp  Introduction — the four-step tri-lane opening
0.75 pp Related work — three fronts + the boundary-work paragraph
2.5 pp  Method — problem formulation, mechanism, complexity note
3.0 pp  Experiments — protocol ¶, main results, decisive ablation, robustness
0.5 pp  Deployment/resource specifics (track-dependent)
0.5 pp  Limitations + conclusion
1.75 pp Appendix (counts!) — only review-critical overflow
—       GenAI Usage Disclosure + references (uncounted)

The commonest imbalance in CIKM drafts is a method section eating four-plus pages while the evaluation protocol gets one paragraph; the blended panel reads the protocol paragraph first.

Title and abstract as routing devices

Title and abstract are consumed twice before any human reads page 2: by EasyChair bidding (which lane's reviewers self-select) and later by ACM DL search. A CIKM title should carry the task, the data structure, and — when honest — the setting: "Freshness-Aware Entity Linking for Enterprise Search" routes correctly; "Towards Better Knowledge Utilization" routes randomly. In the abstract, spend one sentence per lane anchor, and put the one number you want remembered in the final sentence — that sentence is what shows in search snippets.

Micro-rewrite exercise

Draft: "With the explosion of information, knowledge graphs have attracted much attention. We propose a novel framework, XYZ, which significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods."

Rewritten for the tri-lane scan: "Product search at catalog scale fails on queries whose intent lives in relations the index never sees — compatibility, succession, bundling. We link the query to a 2.1M-triple product KG at retrieval time and propagate relevance along typed edges; on two public benchmarks and one industrial log this lifts nDCG@10 by 4-6 points over the strongest KG-free ranker, with the gain concentrated exactly on relation-dependent queries." Problem, boundary, mechanism, calibrated evidence — one breath each.

Limitations without self-sabotage

A limitations paragraph that works at CIKM scopes rather than confesses: state the regime the evidence covers (data types, scale, languages, graph density), name the adjacent regime it does not, and say what would be needed to extend — three sentences, no adjectives of apology. The blended panel treats a well-scoped limitation as expertise and an unscoped one ("may not generalize") as either evasion or, worse, an invitation to imagine failures the authors never tested.
