podc-supplementary
Use when deciding what goes in the first 10 read-guaranteed pages of an ACM PODC submission versus the full version / appendix, and when choosing between a regular paper and a Brief Announcement — so that nothing which decides acceptance lives past page 10 and every deferred proof remains reachable.

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

# PODC Supplementary PODC's content-placement problem is unusual: the *submission* has no page limit, but only the abstract and the **first 10 pages after the title page** are guaranteed to be read. Everything else — including most of your proofs — is read at the committee's discretion. So the split is not "paper vs. appendix" but "**decision-critical (must be in 10 pages) vs. verification-detail (may be deferred)**." Get it wrong and a reviewer decides against a paper whose key idea sat on page 15. ## The placement rule ```text Anything that decides ACCEPTANCE -> first 10 pages after the title page (guaranteed read) Anything that only VERIFIES it -> full version / appendix (read at the committee's discretion) ``` Decision-critical means: the model box, the theorem statements, the delta over prior work, and **enough of the proof to convince a reviewer the full proof exists** (the key lemma or the proof idea). Verification-detail means: routine calculations, standard-lemma proofs, symmetric cases, and the long technical core once its idea has been conveyed. ## What must live in the first 10 pages | Element | Why it cannot be deferred | |---|---| | The model box | A reviewer cannot j

What does the podc-supplementary skill do?
Use when deciding what goes in the first 10 read-guaranteed pages of an ACM PODC submission versus the full version / appendix, and when choosing between a regular paper and a Brief Announcement — so that nothing which decides acceptance lives past page 10 and every deferred proof remains reachable.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill podc-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.
