What it does
Vldb Supplementary is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding what lives outside a PVLDB paper's page budget, covering the rule that appendices count against the limit, the extended technical report on arXiv under single-blind review, proof and algorithm placement, artifact repositories as the extra-results home, and keeping the paper self-contained for VLDB reviewers.
Its SKILL.md is about 970 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 Academic paper search. It works with arXiv. 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.

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
Vldb Supplementary loads about 966 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 409 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.
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.

- vldb-supplementary
- description
- Use when deciding what lives outside a PVLDB paper's page budget, covering the rule that appendices count against the limit, the extended technical report on arXiv under single-blind review, proof and algorithm placement, artifact repositories as the extra-results home, and keeping the paper self-contained for VLDB reviewers.
VLDB Supplementary
Use this when the paper is overflowing its category budget. PVLDB's constraint is unusual: references are free, but appendices are not — every page of appendix, acknowledgement, or extra table counts inside the 12 (or 8, or 6) page limit. There is no separate supplementary upload lane to hide length in, so "supplementary material" at this venue means things that live outside the PDF entirely.
The three external homes
| Home | Best for | Constraint |
|---|---|---|
| Extended technical report (arXiv or institutional) | Full proofs, extra experiments, parameter sweeps, tuning details | Cite it from the paper by version; single-blind review makes this uncomplicated |
| Artifact repository | Configs, raw results, additional plots, per-workload breakdowns | Must be tagged so cited numbers stay stable |
| The paper itself | Anything a reviewer needs to judge the claims | The only place reviewers are obliged to look |
Because PVLDB review is single-blind, posting the extended report under your own names is normal practice, not an anonymity hazard — the inverse of the double-anonymous venues in this collection. (Reconfirm the current identity policy on the live volume guidelines; see the source map.)
The self-containment test
Reviewers commit to the PDF, not to your links. Before exporting content:
- Every claim in the abstract must be substantiated inside the paper — a headline result whose only evidence is "see the TR" is unreviewable.
- Keep one representative experiment per claim in the body; export the sensitivity grid, not the flagship curve.
- Keep algorithm pseudocode for the core mechanism; export correctness proofs if long, but keep the theorem statement and a two-line argument sketch.
- Never export the competitor-fairness details (versions, tuning); reviewers check those during, not after, review.
Show full SKILL.md (139 more words)Show less
Cut order when 14 pages must become 12
1. Redundant transitions and roadmap prose (~0.5 pp, free)
2. Sensitivity sweeps -> TR, keep one sentence each (~1 pp)
3. Secondary workload's full plots -> TR, keep summary table (~0.5-1 pp)
4. Long proofs -> TR, keep statements + sketches (~0.5 pp)
5. NEVER: experimental setup, baseline tuning disclosure,
limitations, or the one experiment behind each claimVersion discipline for external material
- Freeze the TR version you cite (arXiv vN, not the bare identifier) at submission time; updating the TR mid-review silently changes what reviewers read.
- If a revision verdict arrives, the new experiments belong in the paper first — the required-changes list is judged on the PDF, and exporting a demanded result to the TR reads as evasion.
- Sync the repository tag whenever the TR gains results, so the three artifacts (paper, TR, repo) never disagree on a number.
Failure patterns
- The two-body problem: paper and TR drift until a reviewer finds a contradicting number — instant credibility loss.
- Link-dependence: a body that reads like an index into external material.
- Budget denial: planning "we'll appendix it" at a venue where the appendix eats the same 12 pages.
