What it does
Icdm Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or revising prose for an ICDM (IEEE International Conference on Data Mining) paper - the data-regime-first register, the named-mechanism discipline, measured-scale language instead of scalability adjectives, discovery-validity sentences, triple-blind-safe self-reference, and compression into the single 10-page IEEE all-inclusive cap.
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 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
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
Icdm Writing Style loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 523 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.

- Use when drafting or revising prose for an ICDM (IEEE International Conference on Data Mining) paper - the data-regime-first register, the named-mechanism discipline, measured-scale language instead of scalability adjectives, discovery-validity sentences, triple-blind-safe self-reference, and compression into the single 10-page IEEE all-inclusive cap.
ICDM Writing Style
Revise a manuscript into the register ICDM reviewers reward: a data-mining mechanism made legible to a data-centric IEEE audience, with claims a reviewer can check and a scale story that is measured rather than asserted. Two hard constraints shape every choice — the Research Track is triple-blind, so the prose cannot lean on author identity, and the whole paper (references and appendix included) must fit 10 IEEE two-column pages.
Open with the data regime, not the model family
ICDM work starts from the shape of the data: streams seen once, power-law-sparse graphs, implicit rather than explicit feedback, evolving edges, high-dimensional transactions. The strongest openings name that regime and make the mechanism its consequence.
Weak (model-first):
"We propose a novel graph neural network with a new attention module
for anomaly detection, achieving state-of-the-art results."
ICDM-shaped (regime-first):
"Interaction graphs arrive as an unbounded edge stream seen once and
cannot be stored. We give a one-pass detector whose memory is
sub-linear in the number of edges, with a stated error bound."The second version names the regime, implies why existing methods fail, and scopes the mechanism before a reviewer asks.
Name the mechanism, and give it a reason
- Replace architecture nouns ("a transformer with X") with a named mining mechanism and the one property that makes it work (isolation, sparsity, restart probability, sketching).
- Attach every strong adjective to the mechanism: not "our method is scalable" but "the sketch updates in amortized constant time per edge."
- State the objective or the guarantee plainly enough that a reviewer sees why it should generalize before seeing the tables.
Measure scale; do not adjective it
ICDM referees read "efficient" and "scalable" as claims to be tested. Convert them:
| Adjective (avoid) | Measured claim (prefer) |
|---|---|
| "scalable" | "constant per-edge latency as the stream grows 100x (Fig. 2)" |
| "efficient" | "linear in |
| "outperforms baselines" | "matches the batch detector's top-k ranking at 1/10 the memory" |
| "robust" | "ranking quality within one std over 20 seeds across noise levels" |
Write discovery-validity sentences
The distinctive ICDM instinct is "is the finding real, or an artifact of the evaluation?" Pre-empt it: say why a flagged pattern, cluster, or anomaly means what you claim — tie it to a bound, a controlled injection with known truth, or a baseline that shares the setup. A result that could be an evaluation artifact reads as unfinished here.

Keep self-reference triple-blind-safe
- Cite your own prior work in the third person: "Prior work [7] introduced X" — never "in our earlier paper [7] we introduced X."
- Remove "our deployed system," internal names, and acknowledgements from the body; they
are anonymity violations, not style slips (see
icdm-submission).
Compress into 10 all-inclusive pages
- Every paragraph competes with the appendix and references for the same 10 pages. Cut signposting roadmaps and background everyone knows.
- Push protocol detail to an in-cap appendix or the cited anonymized repository, and keep the body's argument self-contained — because with no rebuttal, the body is your only chance to be understood.
Vignette: rescuing a buried contribution
A draft opens with two paragraphs on the importance of data mining and a model diagram. The revision deletes both, opens on "transactions arrive faster than they can be labeled," names the sparsity mechanism in sentence two, converts three "efficient/scalable" claims into measured latencies, and adds one discovery-validity sentence tying flagged transactions to a known-injection experiment. Same result, half a page shorter, and now legible to an ICDM reviewer on the first read.
