What it does

Hri Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or revising an ACM/IEEE HRI full paper's structure and prose for an interdisciplinary audience — leading with the human-robot contribution and research questions, making hypotheses and measures explicit, describing the robot embodiment, keeping claims proportional to the study within the 8-page acmart budget, and writing so the chosen track's contribution type is unmistakable.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 and Hypothesis generation. 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

  • Making hypotheses and measures explicit
  • Describing the robot embodiment
  • Keeping claims proportional to the study within the 8-page acmart budget
  • Writing so the chosen tracks contribution type is unmistakable

Example prompts

  • “/hri-writing-style”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The interaction problem — a question about what happens between a person and a robot, in
  2. Why we do not yet know — the gap: what prior work measured, and why it does not answer this
  3. The contribution, stated for your track — a designed behavior/system/interface, a finding
  4. The study — an embodied robot, real participants, a design a reviewer can judge, evidence
  5. What it means for designing interactive robots — the implication, concrete.

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

Hri Writing Style loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 772 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 drafting or revising an ACM/IEEE HRI full paper's structure and prose for an interdisciplinary audience — leading with the human-robot contribution and research questions, making hypotheses and measures explicit, describing the robot embodiment, keeping claims proportional to the study within the 8-page acmart budget, and writing so the chosen track's contribution type is unmistakable.

HRI Writing Style

HRI reviewers come from robotics, HCI, psychology, and design at once. A sentence that a roboticist finds obvious may be opaque to a psychologist and vice versa, so HRI prose must be legible across disciplines while making a rigorous contribution its home track can judge. You have 8 pages (including figures, excluding references) in the ACM acmart template — a tight budget that rewards a clear arc and punishes throat-clearing. This skill builds the paper for that audience and budget.

The HRI first-page arc

Lead with the interaction, not the machinery:

  1. The interaction problem — a question about what happens between a person and a robot, in one or two sentences, in the first breath.
  2. Why we do not yet know — the gap: what prior work measured, and why it does not answer this question (often: stated attitudes measured where behavior matters, or systems evaluated without people).
  3. The contribution, stated for your track — a designed behavior/system/interface, a finding about people, a method, or a concept — named as the kind of contribution your track reviews.
  4. The study — an embodied robot, real participants, a design a reviewer can judge, evidence proportional to the claim.
  5. What it means for designing interactive robots — the implication, concrete.

See resources/worked-examples/01-introduction.md for a fictional before→after that executes this arc.

Make the study legible: state design, hypotheses, and measures

HRI's empirical reviewers expect the scaffolding to be explicit, ideally by the end of the introduction or the top of the method:

  • Design — between-subjects, within-subjects, or mixed; conditions and what is manipulated.
  • Hypotheses or research questions — stated as predictions (H1, H2...) for confirmatory work, or as RQs for exploratory/qualitative work. Do not disguise an exploratory study as confirmatory.
  • Measures — which construct each dependent variable operationalizes, and whether the instrument is validated (e.g., a named trust/anthropomorphism scale) or bespoke (justify it).
  • Robot and task — enough that a reader pictures the embodiment and the interaction (and point to the video).

A paper that hides its design until Section 4 forces reviewers to reverse-engineer it, which reads as evasion.

Describe the robot embodiment (and lean on the video)

HRI is about embodied interaction, so the robot is not a detail:

  • Name the platform and the relevant capabilities/behaviors; show it in a figure and the video.
  • Distinguish what was autonomous from what was teleoperated / Wizard-of-Oz — reviewers will look for this, and hiding it is a credibility risk (see hri-experiments).
  • Describe the interaction as it unfolds in time; static prose under-serves a temporal phenomenon, which is exactly what the video is for (see hri-supplementary).

Claims proportional to the study

The fastest way to lose an HRI reviewer is a claim the study cannot support:

  • A single lab study with one robot and short exposure supports a bounded claim, not a universal law about "robots." Say "in this task, with this robot," and frame generality as future work.
  • Report effect sizes and confidence intervals, not just p-values; "significant" without a magnitude is uninformative about whether the effect matters for design.
  • For qualitative work, claim insight and transferability, not frequency; report your analysis method (e.g., thematic analysis) and reflexivity, not a fake sample size.
  • Match the verb to the evidence: "suggests," "indicates," "in our study" — not "proves."

Write for the interdisciplinary reader

  • Define discipline-specific terms once. A roboticist's "policy," a psychologist's "valence," and a designer's "probe" each need a gloss for the other two-thirds of the room.
  • Justify constructs, don't assume them. Explain why the measured construct (trust, warmth, competence, mind perception) is the right one for the interaction you study.
  • Prefer plain figures. A clear condition diagram and a results plot with error bars communicate across fields better than dense tables.

Budget discipline (8 pages, acmart)

  • The template is fixed; recover space by cutting, not by shrinking margins or fonts (a formatting violation is a desk-reject risk — see hri-submission).
  • Move detailed instruments, full model tables, and extended qualitative excerpts to the supplement, keeping in the body only what a reviewer must read to judge the paper (see hri-supplementary).
  • References do not count against the 8 pages — but the body does, including figures. Budget figure space deliberately.

Anti-patterns HRI reviewers flag

  • System-first framing — leading with a capability and accuracy, burying the human question (route-signal that this may be an ICRA/IROS paper; see hri-topic-selection).
  • Scale dump — administering many questionnaires and reporting whatever turned out significant, with no pre-registration and no correction.
  • Undisclosed Wizard-of-Oz — presenting teleoperated behavior as autonomous.
  • Liking as outcome — using a vague "users liked it" in place of the behavioral or theory-linked outcome the claim needs.
  • Over-signposting — a paragraph of "Section 2 does X" standing in for an argument.
