What it does
Icde Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when revising an IEEE ICDE paper for the first-page data-engineering contract, a reconstructable mechanism description, the running-example device, performance claims scoped to the workloads actually run, single-blind first-person phrasing, and 12-page IEEE two-column compression that survives a builder-heavy program committee.
Its SKILL.md is about 970 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 and Data pipelines and ETL. 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
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
Icde Writing Style loads about 972 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 448 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 IEEE ICDE paper for the first-page data-engineering contract, a reconstructable mechanism description, the running-example device, performance claims scoped to the workloads actually run, single-blind first-person phrasing, and 12-page IEEE two-column compression that survives a builder-heavy program committee.
ICDE Writing Style
Use this when revising the main paper. ICDE papers must state, compactly, what data-engineering primitive is new and give a builder enough to reconstruct it, all inside a tight IEEE two-column budget.
Revision rules
- Put the data-engineering contribution on the first page: the bottleneck, why current systems fall short, the mechanism, the measured evidence, and who can build on it.
- Name the bottleneck and the operating point. A systems claim without a workload, hardware, and cost metric is unfalsifiable and reads as marketing to an ICDE reviewer.
- Make the mechanism reconstructable. The reader should be able to rebuild the core idea from the body; "a novel structure" is not a mechanism.
- Pair every performance claim with a figure, table, or measured crossover, and disclose the cost of every gain — ICDE reviewers distrust a win with no accounting.
- Use a running example (one concrete workload) introduced early and reused; it carries intuition through the paper more efficiently than repeated abstraction.
- Because ICDE is single-blind, write in natural first person and cite your own prior work directly — do not perform the anonymity contortions a double-blind venue requires.
Mechanism-presentation discipline
- State the one idea in a single sentence before the details ("move ordering off the write path"). Everything else is elaboration.
- Give the algorithm as pseudocode or a labeled figure, then walk it on the running example; builders read the walk, not the prose.
- Keep problem-dependent costs visible — write amplification, memory overhead, tail latency; silently omitting the cost of a mechanism is a standing ICDE complaint.
- Define notation and system parameters once, in one place; two-column pages punish redundant redefinition.
- Separate what is measured from what is argued; label conjecture as conjecture.

Sentence-level rewrites
| Draft pattern | ICDE-safe rewrite |
|---|---|
| "Our system is much faster..." | "sustains 1.2M inserts/s where the LSM baseline stalls above 0.9M (Fig. 4)" |
| "Under realistic workloads..." | "On the fleet-telemetry trace and a swept append-to-scan generator..." |
| "A novel index structure..." | "A two-tier index that defers ordering to read time" |
| "Achieves state-of-the-art..." | Claim scoped to the workloads and hardware actually tested |
| "With negligible overhead..." | "at a memory cost of X and a median read-latency factor of Y (Table 3)" |
Vignette: compressing into 12 IEEE two-column pages
A draft with a full protocol, six figures, and a sprawling related-work section: keep the mechanism, the pseudocode, the two decision-critical figures (the throughput plot and the cost/crossover plot), and the ablation that isolates the mechanism. Compress related work into contrast sentences, and move secondary sweeps, full trace documentation, and extra baselines to the supplement with explicit forward references. The test of a good cut: a reviewer can reconstruct the system and believe the headline number without opening the supplement.
