Sosp Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or revising SOSP prose — leading with a design principle rather than a feature list, building the intro's problem-to-insight arc, budgeting 12 dense two-column pages across design and evaluation, writing figures that argue, and keeping claims inside what the measurements support.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Brand voice and tone and Budgeting and forecasting. 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.
3 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.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pdftotextFrom 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.
Sosp Writing Style loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 609 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/sosp-writing-style/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Use this at drafting and revision time for a SOSP paper. The format constants (2026 cycle, checked 2026-07-08 against the official author guidelines): at most 12 pages of technical content in submission, 10-point font on 12-point leading, a 7 x 9 inch text block in two columns, references uncounted. Those pages are read first by a skeptical fast pass and later defended live at a PC meeting — the prose must arm an advocate, not just inform a reader.
The recurring identity question at this venue is "what is the principle?" A SOSP paper is remembered as an idea with a system attached, not a system with features attached. Concretely:
sosp-topic-selection).| Move | Job | Symptom when missing |
|---|---|---|
| Problem, concrete | Reader can picture the failing scenario | Intro opens with a market-size claim |
| Why existing systems fail | The gap is structural, not un-tried | Related work reads as the real intro |
| Insight | The extractable principle | Reviewers summarize the paper differently from you |
| Embodiment | The system, named, one paragraph | Insight floats with no evidence anchor |
| Headline evidence | 2-3 measured numbers with baselines named | "Extensive experiments show" |
| Honest scope | One clause on what the design gives up | The meeting discovers the limitation for you |
A workable allocation for a design-plus-evaluation SOSP paper; deviate deliberately:
Intro + motivation 1.5 pp the arc above, plus the motivating measurement
Design 4.0 pp principle -> mechanisms; invariants stated inline
Implementation 1.0 pp what was built, LoC, what is borrowed vs new
Evaluation 4.0 pp claims mapped to experiments (see sosp-experiments)
Related work 0.75 pp positioning, not survey (see sosp-related-work)
Discussion + conclusion 0.75 pp limitations owned, generality argued
(references uncounted — never starve them)When over length, cut prose before leading or figures: geometry tampering is a
desk-reject at this venue, and shrunken figures cost more reviewer goodwill than a
trimmed subsection. Move depth (full proofs, extra sweeps) to the supplement, never
review-critical evidence (see sosp-supplementary).
Systems reviewers read figures before prose on the fast pass. Each figure earns its column-inches by making a claim on its own:
# Weasel-word and overclaim sweep before the freeze

Sosp Writing Style is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting or revising SOSP prose — leading with a design principle rather than a feature list, building the intro's problem-to-insight arc, budgeting 12 dense two-column pages across design and evaluation, writing figures that argue, and keeping claims inside what the measurements support.
Sosp Writing Style fits situations like: revising SOSP prose — leading with a design principle rather than a feature list; building the intros problem-to-insight arc; budgeting 12 dense two-column pages across design and evaluation; writing figures that argue.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill sosp-writing-style -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (SOSP-Skills/skills/sosp-writing-style in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .claude/skills/sosp-writing-style in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill sosp-writing-style -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (SOSP-Skills/skills/sosp-writing-style in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .agents/skills/sosp-writing-style in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill sosp-writing-style -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/sosp-writing-style, .gemini/skills/sosp-writing-style, .github/skills/sosp-writing-style and .opencode/skills/sosp-writing-style in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Sosp Writing Style needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pdftotext).
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.
Sosp 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 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
