What it does
Icassp Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when revising an ICASSP paper into the IEEE two-column four-page house style — leading with the signal-processing contribution and mechanism, naming the task-matched metric on the first page, compressing method and results into 4+1 pages without a reviewed appendix, and writing math-forward claims that survive a subfield-expert reviewer.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 an ICASSP paper into the IEEE two-column four-page house style — leading with the signal-processing contribution and mechanism
- Naming the task-matched metric on the first page
- Compressing method and results into 4+1 pages without a reviewed appendix
- Writing math-forward claims that survive a subfield-expert reviewer
Example prompts
- “/icassp-writing-style”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Problem — the signal task, in its own vocabulary.
- Gap — why the standard method fails, with a specific named reason per prior line.
- Mechanism — the one thing you change, stated concretely.
- Measurement — the task-matched metric and where it improves.
- Why SPS cares — the community relevance, in one sentence.
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
Icassp Writing Style loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 498 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.

- description
- Use when revising an ICASSP paper into the IEEE two-column four-page house style — leading with the signal-processing contribution and mechanism, naming the task-matched metric on the first page, compressing method and results into 4+1 pages without a reviewed appendix, and writing math-forward claims that survive a subfield-expert reviewer.
ICASSP Writing Style
Use this when revising the main paper. An ICASSP paper is a four-page IEEE two-column object that must state a precise signal-processing contribution, show its mechanism, and prove it with a task-matched number — all where a busy subfield reviewer will see it. There is no reviewed appendix to rescue a buried argument.
Revision rules
- Put the signal-processing contribution and its mechanism on the first page: the problem, why current methods break, what block of the signal chain you change, and the metric that proves it.
- Name the task-matched metric early (WER, SI-SDR, EER, PSNR, BER, RMSE — whatever the task uses), not a generic "accuracy" or "performance."
- Make the method redrawable: a reader should be able to reconstruct the block diagram or the estimator from the text alone.
- Use the four content pages for the core argument; push extended derivations and extra conditions to a cited technical report, since ICASSP has no reviewed supplement.
- Do not overclaim beyond the conditions tested; state the operating point (SNR, corpus, scene).
First-page arc
- Problem — the signal task, in its own vocabulary.
- Gap — why the standard method fails, with a specific named reason per prior line.
- Mechanism — the one thing you change, stated concretely.
- Measurement — the task-matched metric and where it improves.
- Why SPS cares — the community relevance, in one sentence.
Compression discipline for four pages
- One claim per paper; a four-page paper that hedges between two contributions lands neither.
- Every figure must earn its column-inches; a plot that does not change a decision is a paragraph you could have kept.
- Define notation once; two-column measure punishes redundant redefinition.
- Keep a one-line derivation sketch in the body for any result whose full proof lives off-paper.

Sentence-level rewrites
| Draft pattern | ICASSP-safe rewrite |
|---|---|
| "Our method significantly outperforms prior work." | "reduces WER from A to B on <corpus>/<split>, mean over N runs" |
| "We use a deep neural network to..." | "We replace the <specific block> with <specific mechanism>, keeping <the rest>" |
| "Excellent results across settings." | Claim scoped to the SNR range and corpus actually tested |
| "State-of-the-art performance." | "matches/beats <named strong baseline> under <stated condition>" |
| "It is well known that..." | Cite the specific prior result you rely on |
Math-forward, but honest
- State the signal and noise model before the estimator; a signal reviewer reads the model first.
- Keep problem-dependent constants and operating points visible rather than absorbed into vague "under mild conditions" language.
- Separate proved statements from empirically observed ones; mixing them in one paragraph reads as a credibility leak to an expert reviewer.
Vignette: compressing into four pages
A draft with two methods, seven figures, and a long related-work section: keep the single stronger contribution, its mechanism, and the two decision-critical figures (the metric-vs-condition curve and the ablation); compress related work into explicit contrasts; move the second method and the extra conditions to a cited report. The test of a good cut: a subfield reviewer can reconstruct the whole argument without leaving the four pages.
