Use when revising an ACM SIGCOMM paper for its house style — leading with measured operational pain, stating a design principle rather than a behavior, pairing every claim with testbed/trace/deployment evidence, reporting tails instead of superlatives, and fitting the argument into 12 figure-inclusive pages while keeping blinding clean.

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