Usenixsec Supplementary is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding what goes where in a USENIX Security Symposium paper — the 13-page body, the two mandatory one-page appendices (Ethical Considerations, Open Science), optional appendices after the references, and external artifacts — so nothing decision-critical lands where reviewers won't look.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Research & Science, covering Reproducible research. 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.
4 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.
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.
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.
Usenixsec Supplementary loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 588 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/usenixsec-supplementary/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).USENIX Security does not collect a separate supplement upload; everything textual travels in one PDF with a fixed geography, and everything executable lives at the locations named in the Open Science appendix. Placement is therefore a reviewing decision: material outside the 13-page body has no guarantee of being read. The layout below is the '26 rule set (checked 2026-07-08); confirm against the current CFP before restructuring a draft.
| Tier | Cap ('26) | Who reads it |
|---|---|---|
| Main body | 13 pages | Reviewers, fully — the only tier with a guarantee |
| Ethical Considerations appendix | ~1 page, mandatory | Reviewers and (when flagged) ethics scrutiny — read carefully |
| Open Science appendix | ~1 page, mandatory | Reviewers + AEC after acceptance — enforced, not just read |
| References + optional appendices | uncapped | Discretionary; assume skimmed at best |
The two named appendices sit between the body and the references — an ordering
unique enough that template mistakes are common. They are not overflow space: their
job is compliance content (see usenixsec-reproducibility and the ethics coverage
in usenixsec-topic-selection / usenixsec-experiments), and stuffing evaluation
material into them reads as a page-limit dodge.
Anything a reviewer needs to judge the contribution:
For each candidate block, apply the demotion test: if a reviewer never reads this, does any claim in the body lose its support? If yes, it stays in the body or the claim gets weakened. If no, demote it and leave a one-line pointer.
Cutting to 13 pages is a routing exercise, in priority order:
usenixsec-topic-selection).Never solve overflow with template surgery; the CFP forbids whitespace tampering and desk-level format checks are mechanical.

Usenixsec Supplementary is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills.

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill usenixsec-supplementary -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (USENIX-Security-Skills/skills/usenixsec-supplementary in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .claude/skills/usenixsec-supplementary in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill usenixsec-supplementary -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (USENIX-Security-Skills/skills/usenixsec-supplementary in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .agents/skills/usenixsec-supplementary 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 usenixsec-supplementary -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/usenixsec-supplementary, .gemini/skills/usenixsec-supplementary, .github/skills/usenixsec-supplementary and .opencode/skills/usenixsec-supplementary in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Usenixsec Supplementary is instructions for the agent only.
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.
Usenixsec Supplementary is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
