Agent skill

colt-supplementary

Use when structuring the appendix of a COLT (Conference on Learning Theory) submission — the unlimited-length proof appendix inside the single PDF — covering body/appendix splitting for a 12-page limit, theorem restatement discipline, lemma ordering, notation tables, and what referees expect to find where.

From the SKILL.md

# COLT Supplementary COLT's "supplementary material" is the appendix of the same PDF: the 2026 CFP (checked 2026-07-08) capped the main body at 12 PMLR-formatted pages excluding references and put **no page limit on references and appendices**, with the entire manuscript submitted as a single file. There is no separate upload, no later supplement deadline, and no distinction between "appendix" and "supplement" — which changes how you should architect the document compared to venues with detached supplements. ## Consequences of the single-PDF model - The appendix is unambiguously part of the reviewed record; referees are choosing to read it, not to download it. Lower the cost of that choice. - Nothing can be added after the deadline. A proof hole discovered post-submission cannot be patched by a supplement upload the way an artifact fix sometimes can elsewhere. - Length is free but attention is not: a 60-page appendix is normal at COLT, a disorganized one is a soft reject, because the referee's verification budget is the binding constraint. ## The 12-page split decision What must stay in the body: - Formal problem setup: the model, the interaction protocol, the adversary or distribu

About this skill
What does the colt-supplementary skill do?

Use when structuring the appendix of a COLT (Conference on Learning Theory) submission — the unlimited-length proof appendix inside the single PDF — covering body/appendix splitting for a 12-page limit, theorem restatement discipline, lemma ordering, notation tables, and what referees expect to find where.

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill colt-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.
