hri-writing-style
Use when drafting or revising an ACM/IEEE HRI full paper's structure and prose for an interdisciplinary audience — leading with the human-robot contribution and research questions, making hypotheses and measures explicit, describing the robot embodiment, keeping claims proportional to the study within the 8-page acmart budget, and writing so the chosen track's contribution type is unmistakable.

# HRI Writing Style HRI reviewers come from robotics, HCI, psychology, and design at once. A sentence that a roboticist finds obvious may be opaque to a psychologist and vice versa, so HRI prose must be **legible across disciplines** while making a **rigorous** contribution its home track can judge. You have **8 pages** (including figures, excluding references) in the ACM `acmart` template — a tight budget that rewards a clear arc and punishes throat-clearing. This skill builds the paper for that audience and budget. ## The HRI first-page arc Lead with the interaction, not the machinery: 1. **The interaction problem** — a question about what happens *between a person and a robot*, in one or two sentences, in the first breath. 2. **Why we do not yet know** — the gap: what prior work measured, and why it does not answer this question (often: stated attitudes measured where behavior matters, or systems evaluated without people). 3. **The contribution, stated for your track** — a designed behavior/system/interface, a finding about people, a method, or a concept — named as the *kind* of contribution your track reviews. 4. **The study** — an embodied robot, real participants, a design a

What does the hri-writing-style skill do?
Use when drafting or revising an ACM/IEEE HRI full paper's structure and prose for an interdisciplinary audience — leading with the human-robot contribution and research questions, making hypotheses and measures explicit, describing the robot embodiment, keeping claims proportional to the study within the 8-page acmart budget, and writing so the chosen track's contribution type is unmistakable.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill hri-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.
