advmat-supplementary
Use when partitioning content between an Advanced Materials main text and its Supporting Information, ensuring the paper stands alone while extended data, full experimental detail, and secondary characterization live in the SI. Organizes the Supporting Information; does not write the main text.

# Advanced Materials Supporting Information (advmat-supplementary) ## When to trigger - The manuscript is over the Communication/Article format and detail must move out of the body - A reader cannot judge the material without opening the SI - You have extended datasets, full recipes, or control experiments with no home - You are unsure what belongs in the SI versus what must stay in the main text - Reviewers of a prior version asked for data that would bloat the body ## The stand-alone rule (non-negotiable) The main text must be **fully understandable and convincing on its own**. The Supporting Information *supports* the paper; it must never be *load-bearing* for the central advance. A reader who never opens the SI should still grasp the material, the decisive evidence that it is what you claim, the property, and the benchmarked function. - The central advance, the decisive characterization, and the headline benchmarked metric live in the **main text**. - The SI holds the exhaustive backup a skeptical referee or a group trying to reproduce the work will want. - Every SI item is **cited from the main text** at the point it becomes relevant. If removing the SI collapses the argument,

What does the advmat-supplementary skill do?
Use when partitioning content between an Advanced Materials main text and its Supporting Information, ensuring the paper stands alone while extended data, full experimental detail, and secondary characterization live in the SI. Organizes the Supporting Information; does not write the main text.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill advmat-supplementary --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
