Kdd Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when revising a KDD paper into the venue's register, where the first page names a data regime, a mechanism, and scale evidence, efficiency adjectives trace to design decisions, and two-column sigconf pages punish sprawl. Covers Research vs ADS voice, dataset-size discipline, assertive contribution bullets, and 8-page compression.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Architecture decision records. 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.
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Kdd Writing Style loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 769 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.
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.

.claude/skills/kdd-writing-style/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Use this during revision passes. KDD prose has a recognizable register: it talks about
data regimes (scale, drift, sparsity, heterogeneity, label scarcity) rather than
model families, it attaches every performance adjective to a mechanism, and it treats
dataset cardinalities as part of grammar — a dataset without a size reads as
unfinished. The resources/worked-examples/01-introduction.md file shows a full
before/after; this skill is the rule set behind it.
Within page one, a KDD reviewer expects to find, in some order:
If the introduction could open an ICML or a database paper unchanged, the framing is not yet KDD's.
| Draft habit | KDD-register rewrite | Why it matters here |
|---|---|---|
| "novel framework" | Name the mechanism: "drift-weighted sketch family" | Frameworks are unreviewable; mechanisms are ablatable |
| "large-scale experiments" | "3 graphs, 10M-2.1B edges" | Scale is the venue's currency; unquantified scale reads as small |
| "efficient" | "O(1) update; 1.4M events/s on one core" | Efficiency claims must be attributable and checkable |
| "significantly outperforms" | "+3.3 AUPRC, median of 5 seeds, IQR ±0.4" | Practitioner reviewers distrust unquantified superlatives |
| "real-world data" | Name the datasets and their provenance | "Real-world" without provenance signals toy benchmarks |
| "can be applied to many domains" | One demonstrated transfer, or silence | Unpaid generality checks are a known reject pattern |
Circular bullets ("we propose X, we evaluate X") waste the most-read lines of the paper. Each bullet should assert a falsifiable fact:
Weak: - We propose StreamHive, a novel framework for stream anomaly detection.
Strong: - We show bounded-memory detection under drift reduces to online decay-rate
selection, and give a mixture-of-sketches scheme with O(1) update cost.
Weak: - Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach.
Strong: - Across three streams up to 2.1B events, the scheme matches window-retrained
deep baselines on AUPRC at fixed 512MB memory; ablations attribute the gain
to the drift weighting rather than the ensemble.The Applied Data Science register differs deliberately from the Research register:
The ACM sigconf format is tight, and submission is 8 content pages:

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Kdd Writing Style is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Kdd Writing Style is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
