What it does
Recsys Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when revising an ACM RecSys paper for a recommendation-first first page, honest offline-versus-online framing, equal-budget baseline claims, leakage-aware evaluation wording, ACM two-column 8-page compression, double-blind phrasing, and claims scoped to what the ranking evidence actually supports rather than to leaderboard language.
Its SKILL.md is about 960 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
Recsys Writing Style loads about 961 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 419 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.

- recsys-writing-style
- description
- Use when revising an ACM RecSys paper for a recommendation-first first page, honest offline-versus-online framing, equal-budget baseline claims, leakage-aware evaluation wording, ACM two-column 8-page compression, double-blind phrasing, and claims scoped to what the ranking evidence actually supports rather than to leaderboard language.
RecSys Writing Style
Use this when revising the main paper. RecSys papers need a compact statement of why a recommendation result matters and enough evaluation detail to survive a reproducibility-minded reviewer.
Revision rules
- Put the recommendation contribution on the first page: problem, gap, method, offline evidence, and the offline-to-deployment bridge.
- Make the evaluation protocol explicit early: the split (temporal vs random), whether metrics are full-ranking or sampled, and that baselines are tuned under an equal budget.
- Pair every empirical claim with a table, an ablation, or an off-policy/A-B result — not with a superlative.
- Use the 8-page body for core logic; move tuning grids, extra datasets, and per-dataset breakdowns to the appendix (which counts inside the budget) without making the body unreadable.
- Avoid leaderboard framing ("state of the art," "outperforms all baselines") when the gain is small, the variance unreported, or the baselines under-tuned.
- Maintain double-blind style in self-citations, platform names, acknowledgements, funding, and the repository description.
Claim-discipline for recommender papers
- State the split protocol in words, not just in a config: "we use a temporal leave-one-last split" pre-empts the leakage objection.
- Say the baselines were tuned with the same budget as the method; this one sentence defuses the field's central reproducibility complaint.
- When an offline metric is the only evidence, scope the claim to offline; do not let "nDCG rose" masquerade as "users are better served."
- Report variance (mean ± sd over seeds), and in captions say whether bars are sd, confidence intervals, or quantiles.
- Label beyond-accuracy goals (diversity, fairness, exposure) as measured quantities, not asserted virtues.

Sentence-level rewrites
| Draft pattern | RecSys-safe rewrite |
|---|---|
| "Our model significantly outperforms all baselines." | "improves nDCG@20 by X (sd Y) over equal-budget-tuned baselines" |
| "We evaluate on a standard split." | "We use a temporal leave-one-last split to avoid future leakage." |
| "Achieves state-of-the-art recommendation." | Claim scoped to the datasets and cutoff actually tested |
| "Users will benefit from better recommendations." | "our off-policy estimate of engagement rises; deployment is future work" |
| "We use Recall@20." | "Recall@20 over the full item catalog (not a sampled candidate set)" |
Vignette: compressing into eight two-column pages
A draft with a model, five datasets, and a sprawling related-work section: keep the method, the assumption, the headline tuned table, one mechanism ablation, and the offline-online bridge in the body; compress related work into contribution contrasts; move the tuning grid, two datasets, and per-dataset breakdowns to the appendix with explicit forward references. The test of a good cut: a reviewer should reconstruct the whole argument, including how the baselines were tuned, without opening the repository.
