What it does
Iccv Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or revising the prose and figures of an ICCV paper, covering writing for an international generalist reviewer pool, the inclusive 8-page economy, mechanism-first exposition, calibrated claims that survive a one-page rebuttal cycle, and captions and figures that carry the paper for readers who skim first.
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.

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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pdftotext
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
Iccv Writing Style loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 792 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.

- iccv-writing-style
- description
- Use when drafting or revising the prose and figures of an ICCV paper, covering writing for an international generalist reviewer pool, the inclusive 8-page economy, mechanism-first exposition, calibrated claims that survive a one-page rebuttal cycle, and captions and figures that carry the paper for readers who skim first.
ICCV Writing Style
An ICCV submission is read by reviewers drawn from the most international pool in computer vision — in 2025, every author of 11,239 submissions was also a potential reviewer — and most of them work outside your subfield. The style target is therefore precise: a paper a generalist vision researcher can evaluate fairly in one sitting, in their second or third language, under deadline pressure of their own.
Write for the generalist, cite for the specialist
The three reviewers you draw will rarely all be specialists in your niche. Concretely:
- Define subfield jargon at first use, in one clause, even terms your lab considers standard ("the chamfer-L1 metric, i.e. average nearest-neighbor distance in both directions").
- Make the method's mechanism explainable to an adjacent-area reviewer: what information flows where, and what would break without it. Specialists verify details; generalists score the story — you need both.
- Prefer short declarative sentences. Non-native readers (and tired native ones) lose subordinate-clause chains; ICCV's reviewer pool is global by construction, and prose that filters readers filters scores.
The inclusive-8-pages economy
The cap is eight pages including figures and tables, references-only overflow (2025 rule). Treat layout as a market where every element bids for space with the evidence it delivers:
| Element | Earns its space when | Evict when |
|---|---|---|
| Page-1 overview figure | A stranger states the idea after 30 seconds with it | It needs the body text to decode |
| Pipeline figure | It replaces ≥ its own height in method prose | It restates the obvious encoder→decoder |
| Main results table | Rows = strongest current baselines, matched | Padded with weak ancient rows for bulk |
| Qualitative strip | Shows the mechanism's visible signature | Generic pretty outputs any method makes |
| Ablation table | Each row flips one switch (iccv-experiments) | Grid dumped without a takeaway sentence |
| Equation block | Notation reused ≥ twice downstream | Formalizing what one sentence says |
Every caption must be self-sufficient — dataset, setting, and the takeaway in words — because the skim pass reads only captions, and at most venues in this family the skim pass happens before the real one.
Mechanism-first sentences
The genre's strongest habit: name the mechanism, then the consequence, then the number. Compare the two registers:
weak: "We propose a novel and effective framework that significantly
outperforms state-of-the-art methods on several benchmarks."
strong: "Replacing per-frame matching with a persistent memory of object
queries removes the re-detection bottleneck: +3.1 HOTA on
DanceTrack at identical backbone and training budget."The weak sentence contains zero checkable content — and at ICCV, unfalsifiable praise adjectives ("novel", "significantly", "state-of-the-art" unscoped) are read as inexperience markers. The strong sentence makes three commitments a reviewer can verify, which is exactly what earns scores.
Claims sized for a one-page defense
Every claim in the abstract will potentially need defending in May inside a
shared, single rebuttal page (iccv-author-response). Size claims accordingly
at writing time:
- Scope superlatives to dataset + protocol + budget class, in the sentence itself, not a footnote.
- If generalization is claimed, the paper must contain the cross-domain table that backs it; otherwise claim the domains you tested.
- Put the limitation you know about into the limitations paragraph before reviewers find it — a self-reported failure costs a sentence; a discovered one costs a score point and rebuttal real estate.
- Never let the intro promise what the conclusion doesn't deliver: read the contributions bullets against the conclusion as a final pass; they should be the same statements at two altitudes.

Structure that survives skim-order reading
Reviewers at volume venues read out of order: abstract → figures → tables → conclusion → (maybe) everything else. Two consequences. First, the paper's argument must be reconstructible from abstract + captions + table headers alone — test this literally by extracting them:
# Skim-pass simulator: what a reviewer sees in the first five minutes
pdftotext -layout paper.pdf - | grep -A2 -E '^(Figure|Table) [0-9]+[.:]' > skim.txt
head -60 skim.txt # does this sequence state problem → idea → evidence?Second, transitions between sections carry less weight than section openings: begin each section with its conclusion ("Our decoder attends over a persistent memory; this section details the write and read operations"), not with throat- clearing history.
Introduction in five moves
The ICCV intro that works is a proof sketch, not a literature tour: (1) the visual capability at stake, one paragraph, concrete; (2) why current approaches miss it — mechanism of failure, not adjectives; (3) the idea, stated so a generalist could re-derive the design; (4) evidence preview with scoped numbers; (5) contributions as claims (each one falsifiable), not as an activity log ("we conduct extensive experiments" is an activity, not a contribution).
Language-level pass, last
Only after structure settles: strip hedge stacks ("could potentially help to"), convert passive method descriptions to active ("the features are fused" → "the decoder fuses"), unify tense (present for the method, past for experiments run), and hunt duplicated notation — vision papers accumulate three symbols for the same feature map by section 4. If any drafting was machine-assisted, verify every citation exists and every number matches your tables; author responsibility for the text is absolute, and fabricated references are review-killing at every CVF venue.
Reverify each cycle
- Page cap and reference-overflow wording in the 2027 author kit.
- Any new required sections (limitations, ethics, disclosure statements — none verified for 2025, 待核实 for 2027).
- Template version pinned to the current cycle's official kit.
