soda-supplementary
Use when organizing the back matter of a SODA (ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms) submission — there is no supplementary channel, so appendix architecture inside the single no-page-limit PDF does the supplement's job; covers front/back matter split, appendix ordering, and external-archive references.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# SODA Supplementary Material SODA has **no supplementary upload**: no ZIP slot, no separate appendix deadline, no reviewer-optional attachments. One PDF on HotCRP, with no page limit, carries everything (2027 cycle, checked 2026-07-08 via the SIAM SODA27 submission page). So "supplementary material" at SODA is an *internal layout question*: how to architect a 40-80 page document so that a triaging PC member, a assigned referee, and a rebuttal-window author can each navigate it. ## The two-tier document Think of the submission as front matter (what every reader reads) and back matter (what the assigned referee verifies), with an explicit contract between them: | Tier | Typical span | Contents | Reader promise | |---|---|---|---| | Front | pages 1-10ish | Title-page abstract, result statements, technique overview, prior-bound comparison, proof roadmap | Self-contained: a PC member can judge significance without back matter | | Back | the rest | Full proofs in dependency order, deferred cases, calculation appendices, computational-check descriptions | Complete: no step outsourced to "standard arguments" that are not | The contract fails in both directions: front matter that cannot be

What does the soda-supplementary skill do?

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