What it does

Soda Supplementary is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when organizing the back matter of a SODA (ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms) submission — there is no supplementary channel, so appendix architecture inside the single no-page-limit PDF does the supplement's job; covers front/back matter split, appendix ordering, and external-archive references.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Documents & Office, covering PDF. 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

  • Organizing the back matter of a SODA (ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms) submission — there is no supplementary channel
  • So appendix architecture inside the single no-page-limit PDF does the supplements job
  • Covers front/back matter split
  • Appendix ordering

Example prompts

  • “/soda-supplementary”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Grep the PDF text for "full version," "supplementary," and "omitted" — each
  2. Verify every front-matter theorem has a back-matter proof and vice versa (no
  3. Check the dependency order: no proof uses a lemma proved later without an
  4. Compile with links on (hyperref) and click every \ref in the appendix.
  5. Confirm the whole document — appendices included — passes the anonymity sweep.

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 (its code samples are latex).

    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

Soda Supplementary loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 681 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 organizing the back matter of a SODA (ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms) submission — there is no supplementary channel, so appendix architecture inside the single no-page-limit PDF does the supplement's job; covers front/back matter split, appendix ordering, and external-archive references.

SODA Supplementary Material

SODA has no supplementary upload: no ZIP slot, no separate appendix deadline, no reviewer-optional attachments. One PDF on HotCRP, with no page limit, carries everything (2027 cycle, checked 2026-07-08 via the SIAM SODA27 submission page). So "supplementary material" at SODA is an internal layout question: how to architect a 40-80 page document so that a triaging PC member, a assigned referee, and a rebuttal-window author can each navigate it.

The two-tier document

Think of the submission as front matter (what every reader reads) and back matter (what the assigned referee verifies), with an explicit contract between them:

TierTypical spanContentsReader promise
Frontpages 1-10ishTitle-page abstract, result statements, technique overview, prior-bound comparison, proof roadmapSelf-contained: a PC member can judge significance without back matter
Backthe restFull proofs in dependency order, deferred cases, calculation appendices, computational-check descriptionsComplete: no step outsourced to "standard arguments" that are not

The contract fails in both directions: front matter that cannot be judged alone reads as disorganized; back matter that a referee cannot verify reads as wrong.

Appendix architecture rules

  • Order by dependency, not by section of first mention. A referee verifies linearly; forward references inside proofs multiply their working memory.
  • Restate before proving. Use thm-restate or manual restatements so each appendix proof begins with the exact claim, eliminating page-flipping:
latex
\usepackage{thm-restate}
% Front matter:
\begin{restatable}{theorem}{maindet}\label{thm:main}
  There is a deterministic $O(m\log^3 n)$-time algorithm for ...
\end{restatable}
% Back matter:
\maindet*   % restates Theorem 1 verbatim, then the full proof follows
\begin{proof} ... \end{proof}
  • One notation table, early. Long documents die by drifting notation; a table after the introduction, and a rule that appendices introduce no new symbols without it, keeps a 60-page argument navigable.
  • Name the appendices by claim, not "Omitted Proofs": "Appendix C: Proof of the Lower Bound (Theorem 3)" lets the referee jump straight from the rebuttal ledger to the page.
  • Case-heavy arguments get a case index: a small table listing each case, its page, and its one-line resolution.

What lives outside the PDF

Only material that cannot be prose belongs elsewhere, referenced from the paper:

  • Machine-verification archives (certificates, checkers) at an anonymity-safe URL — see soda-artifact-evaluation for packaging and the anonymity rules.
  • Implementation companions with benchmark data, if any — the paper cites them as color, and reviewers owe them nothing.
  • The arXiv full version is not an external supplement at submission time: what you submit to HotCRP must itself be complete. Never write "see the full version" in a SODA submission — you are already submitting it.

Navigation aids for a long reviewed document

An uncapped PDF is read on screens, out of order, by people hunting specific claims during rebuttal season. Invest in navigability the way capped-venue authors invest in compression:

latex
\usepackage[colorlinks=true,linkcolor=blue,citecolor=blue]{hyperref}
\usepackage[capitalize,nameinlink]{cleveref}   % "Lemma 4.2" links whole
% After the introduction:
\tableofcontents                                % legitimate in an uncapped venue
% In the appendix preamble, a claim index:
% Theorem 1  -> proved in Appendix B (p. 24)
% Theorem 2  -> proved in Appendix C (p. 31), uses Lemmas C.1-C.4
% Lemma 4.1  -> proved inline (p. 12)
  • A table of contents is not decoration here — it is the referee's map, and its section titles should narrate the argument ("Bounding the recourse of the overlay"), not name genres ("Analysis, continued").
  • The claim index (theorem → proof location) is the same artifact as the claims ledger in soda-reproducibility; generate both from one source.
  • PDF bookmarks come free with hyperref; check they render, since some reviewers navigate exclusively through them.

Habits imported from capped venues that misfire here

Imported habitWhy it misfires at SODA
"Proof deferred to the supplementary material"There is no supplement; the phrase signals template reuse from another venue
Squeezing to 12 pages and dropping proofsUncapped submission: dropped proofs read as gaps, not thrift
Separate anonymous ZIP with the appendixNo such upload exists; appendix rides in the PDF
Supplement written after the deadlineNothing can be added after July; the PDF is the whole record
Appendix as a dumping ground of draftsReferees read it; unpolished back matter damages the front matter's credibility

Pre-upload back-matter audit

  1. Grep the PDF text for "full version," "supplementary," and "omitted" — each hit is either a broken promise or a leftover from another venue's template.
  2. Verify every front-matter theorem has a back-matter proof and vice versa (no orphan lemmas proving nothing that is claimed).
  3. Check the dependency order: no proof uses a lemma proved later without an explicit forward pointer.
  4. Compile with links on (hyperref) and click every \ref in the appendix.
  5. Confirm the whole document — appendices included — passes the anonymity sweep.
