cvpr-writing-style
Use when writing or revising a CVPR paper's prose and figures, covering the 8-page budget where figures and tables count against the limit, the page-1 teaser figure convention, benchmark-table craft, claim calibration for a skeptical vision audience, and taking responsibility for tool-assisted text under CVPR's rules.

# CVPR Writing Style CVPR is a visual venue with a brutal budget: eight pages **including figures and tables** (references overflow free — verified 2026 rule). The papers that survive triage by an overloaded reviewer pool are the ones a reader can evaluate in two passes: a 90-second flip through figures and tables, then a real read. Write both passes on purpose. ## The two-pass reader **Pass one is visual.** Reviewers at a 16k-submission venue flip: Figure 1, the tables, the qualitative grid, the ablation. If that flip communicates problem → idea → win, the close read starts friendly. Concretely: - **Figure 1 (the teaser)** sits on page 1 and must state the paper alone: task, what prior work gets wrong, what yours does instead — ideally on the same input. A teaser that needs the caption's third sentence has failed. - **Every caption is self-contained**: dataset, metric, and the takeaway sentence. Flip readers never see body text. - **The main table is typeset as an argument**: best numbers bold, second-best underlined, methods grouped by supervision/backbone class, your row where the eye lands last. ## Budgeting eight inclusive pages | Section | Typical share | Compression lever |

What does the cvpr-writing-style skill do?
Use when writing or revising a CVPR paper's prose and figures, covering the 8-page budget where figures and tables count against the limit, the page-1 teaser figure convention, benchmark-table craft, claim calibration for a skeptical vision audience, and taking responsibility for tool-assisted text under CVPR's rules.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill cvpr-writing-style --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.
