What it does
Itcs Supplementary is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when splitting an ITCS paper's content between the body, the appendix, and the arXiv/ECCC/ePrint full version — deciding by what a reviewer must verify, so no central proof lives only in a preprint the PC is not obligated to read, while keeping the first-10-pages merits window clean.
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 Research & Science, covering Academic paper search. It works with arXiv. 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
Itcs Supplementary loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 569 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 splitting an ITCS paper's content between the body, the appendix, and the arXiv/ECCC/ePrint full version — deciding by what a reviewer must verify, so no central proof lives only in a preprint the PC is not obligated to read, while keeping the first-10-pages merits window clean.
ITCS Supplementary
ITCS gives you three places to put content — the body, the appendix (part of the submitted PDF), and the full version on arXiv/ECCC/ePrint — and the split is governed by one rule: anything a reviewer must read to judge the paper lives inside the submitted PDF. Because ITCS has no hard page limit and no rebuttal, the appendix is generous but load-bearing: you cannot promise "details in the full version" for a proof that decides acceptance, and you cannot answer later if a reviewer cannot follow. This skill decides what goes where.
The governing principle: decision-criticality
Sort every piece of content by whether a reviewer needs it to decide:
- Body (first ~10 pages): everything needed to grasp the contribution and judge its
novelty — the model, the motivation, the main theorem statements, proof ideas, and the
novelty delta. This is the merits window the PC actually reads (see
itcs-writing-style). - Appendix (same PDF): the complete proofs of central claims, full definitions, and any technical development too long for the body. This is not optional reading — it is where the "complete proofs of all central claims" requirement is satisfied.
- Full version (arXiv/ECCC/ePrint): the permanent, exhaustive record — extended discussion, additional corollaries, alternate proofs, and the same central proofs mirrored. It may contain more, but nothing decision-critical may live only here.
The rule that trips people up
No central proof may live only in the external full version. The PC is not obligated to open your arXiv posting. A reviewer who reaches "the proof of our main theorem is in the full version [ref]" and stops there will — correctly — treat the claim as unproved in the submission. Put every load-bearing proof in the submitted PDF's appendix.
Deferring to the full version is acceptable only for genuinely peripheral content: a fourth corollary, a longer historical discussion, an alternate proof of an already-proved result.

Use the no-page-limit generously but honestly
ITCS's lack of a hard limit is a gift with a catch:
- Do put full proofs in the appendix rather than compressing them into unreadability. A dense, unverifiable body proof is worse than a clear appendix proof with a body sketch.
- Do not pad the merits window. The first ~10 pages are judged on clarity of the idea; extra length there dilutes the innovation. Push technical bulk to the appendix, not into the intro.
- Signpost precisely. Every deferred proof gets an explicit "proof in Appendix C" and every appendix section says which body claim it discharges. A reviewer should never hunt.
Content-placement table
| Content | Body (~first 10pp) | Appendix (same PDF) | Full version only |
|---|---|---|---|
| Model & definitions | Yes (core ones) | Full/edge-case variants | — |
| Main theorem statements | Yes | — | — |
| Proof ideas / sketches | Yes (a paragraph each) | — | — |
| Complete proofs of central claims | Idea only | Yes (required) | Mirror allowed, not sole home |
| Novelty delta / related work | Yes (the deltas) | Extended comparison | — |
| Routine calculations | Reference | Yes | — |
| Peripheral corollaries, alt proofs | — | Optional | Yes |
| Finite separating objects (graphs/codes) | Small ones inline | Larger ones | — |
Anonymity and the full version
Posting a full version is encouraged under lightweight double-blind, but keep the split
consistent with the anonymity strategy (see itcs-submission):
- The submitted PDF (body + appendix) omits author names, affiliations, and emails.
- The arXiv/ECCC/ePrint full version may be non-anonymous — that is permitted and normal.
- Do not let a cross-reference in the submission point at the named preprint in a way that reads as a deliberate identity reveal; a neutral "a full version is available" is enough.
