# ICML Writing Style ICML writing has to make a rigorous ML contribution clear inside a tight 8-page body. The style is less about broad excitement and more about soundness, originality, significance, clarity, and reproducibility. ## Introduction shape 1. Define the ML problem precisely. 2. State what prior methods, theory, or evaluations fail to cover. 3. Give the contribution in a form a reviewer can evaluate: method, theorem, benchmark, empirical finding, system, or analysis. 4. Preview the evidence: proof, ablation, baseline, dataset, or reproducibility artifact. 5. Bound the claim and point to appendices only for support, not for the main idea. ## Style rules - Put critical evidence in the main body, not only in appendices or supplement. - Use claims that can be mapped to soundness, originality, significance, and clarity. - Name assumptions and constraints early. - Keep the impact statement factual and proportionate. - Avoid prompt-injection text, identity hints, and non-anonymous repository references. - Write with the knowledge that original submissions and rebuttal may become public if accepted. ## Review-dimension map Before polishing language, map each major paragraph to

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill icml-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.
