# Length Discipline (anmath-length-management) ## When to trigger - The paper has grown long and you cannot defend every section's necessity - Background or preliminaries dwarf the actual new mathematics - The same idea is explained several times in different words - You feel pressure to "say it is easy to see" to shorten a hard step — stop ## The principle: long is fine, bloated is not Annals pap

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.
