What it does

Icalp Supplementary is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when splitting an ICALP (EATCS) theory paper between the 15-page main body and the clearly labelled appendix / full version — deciding what a referee must see in the body versus what may be deferred, ensuring every deferred proof is actually present and findable, and keeping the split consistent with lightweight double-blind review.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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. 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

  • Ensuring every deferred proof is actually present and findable
  • Keeping the split consistent with lightweight double-blind review

Example prompts

  • “/icalp-supplementary”

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

Icalp Supplementary loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 572 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 splitting an ICALP (EATCS) theory paper between the 15-page main body and the clearly labelled appendix / full version — deciding what a referee must see in the body versus what may be deferred, ensuring every deferred proof is actually present and findable, and keeping the split consistent with lightweight double-blind review.

ICALP Supplementary (the body / appendix / full-version split)

ICALP gives you a 15-page body (excluding references and a clearly labelled appendix) plus an appendix that may hold omitted proofs or a full version, read at the program committee's discretion. The whole game is deciding what goes where: the body must let a referee judge and follow the paper; the appendix must let them verify it. Getting this split wrong — either cramming proofs into the body or hiding the substance in an unread appendix — is a common, avoidable weakness.

The governing principle

The body earns the referee's belief; the appendix earns their verification.

  • The body contains the model, the theorem statements, the main ideas, the key lemmas, and enough of the central proof that a referee can see why it is true and that it is nontrivial.
  • The appendix / full version contains the complete proofs, routine cases, and technical details a referee consults to confirm correctness.
  • "At the PC's discretion" means the appendix is not guaranteed to be read — so nothing whose significance the referee must weigh may live only there.

What must be in the body

  • The model and definitions needed to state the results.
  • All headline theorem statements, positioned against prior bounds.
  • The main technical idea — the new lemma or technique that makes the result work — at least in proof-sketch form with the key step shown.
  • Enough structure that every deferred proof has a clear pointer ("full proof in Appendix B.2").

What may be deferred to the appendix / full version

  • Complete proofs whose ideas are sketched in the body.
  • Routine or standard arguments, long case analyses, and calculations.
  • Auxiliary lemmas whose statements the body can cite.
  • Supporting computation / certificates (see icalp-experiments, icalp-reproducibility).

The two failure modes

FailureSymptomFix
Over-stuffed bodyEvery proof crammed into 15 pages; unreadable, over-budgetMove complete proofs to the appendix, keep sketches + key lemmas in the body
Hollow bodyBody states theorems, all proofs (incl. the key idea) dumped in an unread appendixBring the central technique and the main lemma's proof idea into the body

The hollow body is the more dangerous: referees judge on the body, and a paper whose substance they cannot see reads as either thin or evasive, even if the appendix is perfect.

Completeness and findability

  • Every deferred proof must actually exist in the appendix / full version. "Proof omitted" with no full version is a soundness failure, not a space saving (icalp-reproducibility).
  • Deferred proofs must be findable: label appendix sections to match the body's pointers so a referee spends seconds, not minutes, locating a step.
  • Keep the submission appendix and any public full version consistent in content.

Double-blind consistency

  • The appendix / full version is part of the anonymous submission: no author names, acknowledgements, grant numbers, or de-anonymizing links there either.
  • If you host a full version on arXiv, refer to it as "the full version" without the identifying handle during review (icalp-submission).

Worked split: a two-theorem paper

An algorithm (Thm 1) and a matching conditional lower bound (Thm 2). Body: the model; both theorem statements with the prior-bound comparison; the algorithm's design and the one key invariant proved; the reduction's construction and its intuition. Appendix / full version: the full correctness proof and complexity analysis of the algorithm; the complete case analysis of the reduction; a computer-checked verification of the gadget. Result: a referee can judge significance and follow both ideas from the body, then verify every detail in the appendix.
