What it does

Vis Supplementary is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding what belongs in an IEEE VIS paper body versus its supplemental materials, covering the VGTC/TVCG 9+2 page budget, the supplemental video that VIS reviewers routinely watch, the one-week supplemental deadline extension, double-blind supplemental anonymization, and how to split a visualization paper between the reviewed pages and the archive.

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.

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

  • Deciding what belongs in an IEEE VIS paper body versus its supplemental materials
  • Covering the VGTC/TVCG 9+2 page budget
  • The supplemental video that VIS reviewers routinely watch
  • The one-week supplemental deadline extension

Example prompts

  • “/vis-supplementary”

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

Vis Supplementary loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 437 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 deciding what belongs in an IEEE VIS paper body versus its supplemental materials, covering the VGTC/TVCG 9+2 page budget, the supplemental video that VIS reviewers routinely watch, the one-week supplemental deadline extension, double-blind supplemental anonymization, and how to split a visualization paper between the reviewed pages and the archive.

VIS Supplementary

Use this when assembling IEEE VIS supplemental material. The governing rule is strict: the paper must be judgeable from the reviewed pages alone. But VIS is unusual among conferences in how much its reviewers rely on the supplemental video and code to understand an interactive contribution — so the split is not "body carries everything, supplement is optional" but "body carries the decision, supplement makes the interaction and reproduction legible."

What goes where

ContentBody (within 9-page budget)Supplemental (archive/video)
The contribution and its claimsYes—
Core technique / system design / study designYesFull parameter grids, extra configs
Headline results and the evaluation that backs themYesFull result tables, secondary conditions
The encoding/interaction rationaleYes—
A static figure of the interfaceYesThe video showing the interaction in motion
Statistical tests behind a claimThe result + test namedThe analysis notebook
Datasets, stimuli, raw study responsesSummary + selection criterionThe full data/stimuli
Reproduction instructionsA pointerThe README + build/run scripts

If a reviewer would need to open the archive to know whether to accept, the paper is mis-partitioned — move that evidence into the body. But an interactive system that cannot be understood without seeing it move should ship a video; a static screenshot alone under-sells it.

The supplemental video (a VIS-specific expectation)

For technique and system papers, the video is often how reviewers judge whether an interaction actually works. Treat it as a first-class deliverable:

text
[Length]     keep to the customary short length; lead with the contribution, not a long intro
[Content]    show the real interaction on real data, at usable speed; caption what to watch
[Quality]    legible resolution, readable text, no stutter; a required codec/container
[Anonymity]  if double-blind, strip affiliation slates, voice-over names, visible usernames,
             desktop clutter, and watermarked project URLs
[Deadline]   VIS 2026 gives a one-week window AFTER the paper deadline for supplemental material —
             use it to finish and anonymize the video, not to keep editing the paper
Show full SKILL.md (200 more words)Show less

The page-budget discipline

VIS's VGTC/TVCG budget is 9 pages of content + up to 2 pages of references and acknowledgements. It counts figures and tables — and visualization papers are figure-heavy. Consequences:

  • Keep the evaluation that decides acceptance and the encoding rationale in the body.
  • Push full parameter tables, additional conditions, extra stimuli, and long apparatus details to the supplemental archive with explicit forward references.
  • Do not use the supplement to smuggle in a result that would not fit — an argument that only closes with material outside the reviewed pages reads as unreviewable.
  • Budget figure space deliberately: one well-designed teaser and the key result figures earn their space; a wall of thumbnails does not.

Double-blind supplemental rules (when you opt in)

text
[No identity]   no authors, affiliations, acknowledgements, grants, cluster paths, lab names, or
                repo owners anywhere in the archive, README, or video
[Anonymized links] the open-materials link points at an anonymizing host, not a personal repo/OSF
[Clean archive]  no .git history, .DS_Store, credentials, caches, or huge irrelevant files
[Playable]       verify the video plays in a standard player and the archive unzips and builds
                from a one-minute README on a fresh machine

Vignette: splitting a system + study paper

A paper contributing an interactive analytics system plus a user study: the body keeps the design rationale, the system's key views, the headline study results with effect sizes, and the threats; the supplement holds the video demonstrating the interaction, the system's source with a build script, the study stimuli and anonymized responses, and the analysis notebook. Nothing decision-critical lives only in the archive, but the interaction is only fully legible via the video.

Output format

text
[Supplement status] ready / needs fixes / not ready
[Partition check] anything decision-critical outside the body? <none / move: what>
[Video] present and legible? shows real interaction? anonymized (if double-blind)? yes/no
[Page budget] body within 9 pages? refs within 2? figures earning their space? yes/no
[Anonymity] archive + video clean of identity + metadata? passed/issues
[Body dependency] <what a reviewer can decide without opening the archive>
