ndss-supplementary
Use when dividing an NDSS paper between the 13-page body, the Ethics Considerations section, references, and appendices — deciding what reviewers must see in-body, what the page-limit exclusions really buy, and how the camera-ready gains a 2-page artifact appendix.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# NDSS Supplementary Material NDSS 2027's limit is 13 pages — but the boundary is unusual: the **Ethics Considerations section, references, and appendices are all excluded** from the count (CFP, checked 2026-07-08). That exclusion is an invitation to structure, not a loophole to exploit.

What does the ndss-supplementary skill do?
Use when dividing an NDSS paper between the 13-page body, the Ethics Considerations section, references, and appendices — deciding what reviewers must see in-body, what the page-limit exclusions really buy, and how the camera-ready gains a 2-page artifact appendix.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ndss-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 984 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.
