  • Revising an ICLR manuscript for learning-representation framing

What it does

Iclr Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when revising an ICLR manuscript for learning-representation framing, OpenReview readability, contribution clarity, limitations, ethics, and reviewer navigation. Use when the core representation insight is buried, when an abstract must read well as an OpenReview snippet, or when adding a "what to verify" path so reviewers can confirm the claim under permanent public review.

Its SKILL.md is about 910 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 Plain language and style rules. 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 ICLR manuscript for learning-representation framing
  • OpenReview readability
  • Contribution clarity
  • Reviewer navigation

Example prompts

  • “what to verify”
  • “/iclr-writing-style”

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

Iclr Writing Style loads about 907 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 400 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~100
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~907

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 revising an ICLR manuscript for learning-representation framing, OpenReview readability, contribution clarity, limitations, ethics, and reviewer navigation. Use when the core representation insight is buried, when an abstract must read well as an OpenReview snippet, or when adding a "what to verify" path so reviewers can confirm the claim under permanent public review.

ICLR Writing Style

Use this to turn a technically correct draft into an ICLR-readable paper. The style should make the learning-representation contribution easy to evaluate under public review.

ICLR framing

  • State the representation, learning problem, or model-behavior insight in the first page.
  • Make clear whether the contribution is method, theory, benchmark, analysis, dataset, evaluation, systems support, or application-driven ML.
  • Explain why the result changes how the community should train, evaluate, understand, or deploy learning systems.
  • Avoid hiding the core idea behind implementation detail or benchmark trivia.
  • Connect limitations to real deployment, robustness, safety, fairness, or data constraints when those issues are relevant.

Reviewer navigation

  • Give reviewers a short "what to verify" path: main theorem, key ablation, benchmark setting, reproducibility artifact, or appendix section.
  • Use figure captions as mini-arguments, not labels.
  • Keep notation local and consistent; ICLR reviewers span subfields.
  • Use the appendix to answer predictable objections, but do not move decisive evidence out of the main narrative.
  • Write the abstract and introduction so the paper still makes sense when read through OpenReview snippets and search.

Framing that survives public skimming

On OpenReview a reader meets your paper as a title, a TL;DR, and an abstract snippet before opening the PDF, and the discussion thread is attached forever. The first page must carry the representation insight unaided.

Worked vignette

A draft on a new optimizer opens with three paragraphs of background before stating that the method reduces gradient variance in deep nets. Rewritten, the first sentence names the phenomenon and the fix, the introduction labels the contribution as "optimization analysis plus method," and a "what to verify" line points reviewers to the variance-reduction ablation in Section 4. The abstract is trimmed so its first 40 words stand alone as an OpenReview TL;DR.

Reviewer-pushback patterns

  • "I cannot find the contribution." Put the representation insight in sentence one of the abstract.
  • "Claim is broader than the evidence." Scope the wording; the public thread punishes overclaims.
  • "Notation is inconsistent." Keep it local; ICLR reviewers span subfields and will flag drift.

Output format

[ICLR fit sentence] <one sentence>
[First-page problem] <what is hard or missing>
[Contribution type] method / theory / benchmark / analysis / data / systems / application

[Risky prose] <overclaim, unclear novelty, unsupported generalization>
