What it does
Mobisys Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when revising a MobiSys paper for a mobile-systems first page, the pain → system-design → on-device-evidence arc, 12-page double-column compression, double-blind wording, and claims disciplined by measured latency, energy, memory, and thermal budgets rather than superlatives, so the draft survives systems-and-services reviewers.
Its SKILL.md is about 920 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
Mobisys Writing Style loads about 922 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 421 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.

- description
- Use when revising a MobiSys paper for a mobile-systems first page, the pain → system-design → on-device-evidence arc, 12-page double-column compression, double-blind wording, and claims disciplined by measured latency, energy, memory, and thermal budgets rather than superlatives, so the draft survives systems-and-services reviewers.
MobiSys Writing Style
Use this when revising the main paper. A MobiSys paper needs a compact statement of the on-device problem, the system that solves it, and the measurements that prove it — in the 12-page double-column body.
Revision rules
- Put the mobile-system contribution on the first page: the on-device pain, why current systems fail on the device, the mechanism, and the measured payoff.
- Name the device budget explicitly. MobiSys reviewers are sensitive to hidden compute, energy, latency, memory, and thermal assumptions.
- Pair every major claim with a measurement on real hardware, a design argument, or a reproducibility detail — never a superlative.
- Use the 12-page body for the system's spine; move long protocols, extra device sweeps, and extended ablations to the appendix without making the main paper unintelligible.
- Avoid overclaiming wins when the distribution is unreported or the gain is inside run-to-run spread.
- Maintain double-blind style in self-citations, prior-system references, acknowledgements, funding, screenshots, and artifact descriptions.
System-presentation discipline
- State the operating point: the device, the workload, and the budget the system respects. A latency number without its device and workload is not interpretable.
- Give each design decision a why-on-the-device justification; MobiSys readers audit whether a choice is forced by the mobile constraint or merely convenient.
- Report costs as distributions — p50/p95 latency, energy-per-operation, memory footprint — not single "up to N×" peaks.
- Separate measured from estimated: an energy figure from a power monitor and an energy figure from a model are different claims and must be labeled so.
- Keep the accuracy/quality trade-off honest: a system that is faster or cooler at a cost must state the cost in the same breath.

Sentence-level rewrites
| Draft pattern | MobiSys-safe rewrite |
|---|---|
| "Our system significantly outperforms..." | "cuts p95 latency from X ms to Y ms on <device> over N runs" |
| "Runs efficiently on mobile devices..." | "holds 30 fps within a 3 W budget on <device>, App. A" |
| "Saves substantial energy..." | "reduces energy-per-frame by X mJ (p50), measured on <monitor>" |
| "Achieves real-time performance..." | Claim scoped to the device, workload, and thermal state tested |
Vignette: compressing into twelve double-column pages
A draft with a runtime design, five device studies, and a sprawling background section: keep the design, one decision-critical figure (the latency-under-load curve) and one budget figure (energy-per-frame), and the accuracy-cost table; compress background into the specific failures current systems show on the device; move three device sweeps and the full protocol to the appendix with forward references. The test of a good cut: a systems reviewer should reconstruct the whole system and its evidence without opening the supplement.
