What it does

Iros Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when revising an IROS paper for a task-first opening, an integrated-system narrative, the references-counted-in page budget with no supplementary PDF, double-anonymous wording, demo-speak-to-numbers rewrites, and figure-first structure that carries the argument in the body for embodied-systems reviewers.

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. 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 IROS paper for a task-first opening
  • An integrated-system narrative
  • The references-counted-in page budget with no supplementary PDF
  • Double-anonymous wording

Example prompts

  • “/iros-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

Iros Writing Style loads about 972 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 419 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~972

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 IROS paper for a task-first opening, an integrated-system narrative, the references-counted-in page budget with no supplementary PDF, double-anonymous wording, demo-speak-to-numbers rewrites, and figure-first structure that carries the argument in the body for embodied-systems reviewers.

IROS Writing Style

Use this when revising the main paper. An IROS paper has to make a reviewer picture the robot, the task, and the physical constraint quickly, then trust that the system runs — all inside a page budget that counts references and offers no appendix escape hatch.

Revision rules

  • Open with the robot task and the embodiment constraint, not with "robots are increasingly important." The first paragraph should name the platform, the task, and what makes it physically hard.
  • Present the contribution as an integrated system: name the sensors, the interfaces between components, and the compute/latency budget, so the pipeline is reconstructable from the body.
  • Treat the body as the whole paper — IROS has no supplementary PDF. Anything load-bearing (metric definition, protocol, key ablation) lives in the main text or it does not exist for the reviewer.
  • Budget references as content; they count against the page limit, so a bloated bibliography costs real space.
  • Convert demo-speak to numbers: "works robustly" becomes a trial count with a success interval and a failure taxonomy.
  • Keep double-anonymous wording clean in self-citations, prior-platform references, acknowledgements, and figure/video captions.

Figure-first discipline

  • Robotics reviewers read figures before prose; a system diagram and a results figure should convey the contribution before a word is read.
  • Make the hero figure a system diagram with real interfaces, not a clip-art robot — show what senses what and what commands what.
  • Every plot of contact force, trajectory error, or success rate needs axis units and a stated trial count in the caption; a curve without n is decoration.
  • Prefer vector figures: reviewers zoom into force and trajectory plots, and rasterized exports blur at 400%.

Sentence-level rewrites

Draft patternIROS-safe rewrite
"Our system robustly opens doors.""Succeeds on 108/120 trials across 15 unseen doors (Wilson 95% CI ...)."
"Real-time performance.""Runs the full loop at 18 Hz within a 30 W onboard budget."
"Outperforms the baseline.""Reduces trajectory error by X on the same platform and route."
"Works in the real world.""Sim-to-real gap of Y points; failures categorized in Table II."

Vignette: compressing into the page budget

A draft with a sprawling related-work section, six figures, and a full appendix of derivations: keep the system diagram and the two decision-critical results figures, fold related work into per-system contrasts, and inline only the equations the reviewer must see — the rest is cut, not deferred, because there is no appendix PDF. The test of a good cut: a reviewer reconstructs the system and believes the evidence from the body alone.

text
First-page checklist:
  [ ] robot + task + physical constraint stated in the first paragraph
  [ ] system diagram with real sensor/actuator interfaces as the hero figure
  [ ] each claim carries a number (Hz, watts, trials, error, gap)
  [ ] references budgeted inside the page limit
  [ ] no dependence on a non-existent supplement
  [ ] anonymity clean in text, figures, and video captions

Output format

text
[Writing diagnosis] task-clear / demo-speak / system-vague / over-budget
[First-page fix] <new task-and-constraint opening>
[Claim discipline] <claim -> number/figure/trial>
[Compression cuts] <cut, not deferred — no appendix>
[Anonymity edits] <phrases/figures/video to fix>
