What it does

Siggraph Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when structuring or revising a SIGGRAPH / TOG technical paper, covering the teaser figure, a results-first first page, the graphics contribution framing (technique + quality/performance), comparison-driven evaluation, honest limitations, and the acmart 7-page discipline for the conference track.

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 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 a SIGGRAPH / TOG technical paper
  • Covering the teaser figure
  • A results-first first page
  • The graphics contribution framing (technique + quality/performance)

Example prompts

  • “/siggraph-writing-style”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Introduction — the first-page arc above; contributions as a short bulleted list.
  2. Related work — positioned by what prior methods cannot do that you can (see
  3. Method — the technique, with the math and algorithm a reader needs to reimplement; push
  4. Results — comparisons, ablations, timings, and quality metrics (see siggraph-experiments),
  5. Limitations — honest failure cases, shown not hidden; this builds credibility here.
  6. Conclusion — one paragraph; no over-signposting.

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

Siggraph Writing Style loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 597 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

SIGGRAPH Writing Style

A SIGGRAPH paper earns acceptance by making a graphics contribution legible on the first page and showing its results, not merely describing them. The reader is a domain expert who will form an opinion from your teaser figure and results video before finishing the abstract. This skill builds the SIGGRAPH first-page arc and the body discipline the acmart budget enforces. Anchor format facts to resources/official-source-map.md.

The SIGGRAPH first-page arc

problem a graphics practitioner recognizes -> why prior methods fall short (quality, speed, generality, or robustness) -> our technique in one sentence -> the result shown (teaser) -> what it enables. All of it visible on page one, with the teaser figure doing half the work.

  • Lead with the visual/temporal problem: a rendering that is too slow or too noisy, a simulation that is unstable, a geometry operation that fails on real meshes. Not "deep learning has transformed graphics."
  • State the contribution as a method plus a measurable gain — "Nx faster at equal quality," "converges where prior work diverges," "handles inputs prior methods cannot." A method with no quality/performance axis to move is not yet a SIGGRAPH contribution.
  • The teaser must show the best result on a recognizable case and, ideally, a side-by-side with the strongest baseline. It is the single most-read object in the paper.

The teaser figure carries the paper

Spend disproportionate effort here:

  • One glance should convey what problem, what input, what output, how much better.
  • Prefer a real, hard scene over a toy; reviewers distrust teasers that only work on the easy case.
  • If the contribution is temporal, the teaser points at the video ("see supplemental video") — but the still must still stand alone.

Body structure (conference/dual-track: <= 7 pages)

A workable graphics-paper skeleton:

  1. Introduction — the first-page arc above; contributions as a short bulleted list.
  2. Related work — positioned by what prior methods cannot do that you can (see siggraph-related-work), not a chronological survey.
  3. Method — the technique, with the math and algorithm a reader needs to reimplement; push long derivations to the supplemental appendix.
  4. Results — comparisons, ablations, timings, and quality metrics (see siggraph-experiments), each figure earning its space against the page budget.
  5. Limitations — honest failure cases, shown not hidden; this builds credibility here.
  6. Conclusion — one paragraph; no over-signposting.

Page-budget discipline (acmart)

  • The conference-track body is <= 7 pages excluding references and up to two figures-only pages. Every figure competes with text for that space — cut a figure that does not change a reader's belief.
  • Move derivations, parameter tables, and network architecture details to the supplemental appendix. The body carries the argument and the decisive results; the supplemental carries depth.
  • Do not shrink fonts or edit the acmart class to recover space — that is a mechanical reject. Recover space by cutting, not by tampering.

Voice and honesty

  • Show, then claim. "Our method removes the flicker (Fig. 4, video 0:30)" beats "our method is temporally coherent." Graphics reviewers believe pixels, not adjectives.
  • Quantify every comparison with a metric and equal conditions; a qualitative "looks better" invites the reviewer to disagree.
  • Name limitations before the reviewer does. A shown failure case with an explanation is far stronger than a concealed one the reviewer discovers in your video.
  • Timings are claims — report them with hardware, resolution, and settings, or do not make them.

Anti-patterns

  • A method paper with no comparison to the obvious prior work — the fastest path to reject.
  • A teaser that only works on the easy input.
  • Prose that describes results the figures/video do not actually show.
  • Over-length body recovered by font/margin tampering.
  • Limitations reduced to a boilerplate sentence, or omitted entirely.
