sosp-supplementary
Use when deciding what belongs in a SOSP supplementary document versus the 12-page paper, packaging proofs, extended analyses, and methodological detail as a separate anonymized upload, and keeping review-critical evidence out of material reviewers are not obligated to read.

# SOSP Supplementary Material Use this while splitting content between the SOSP paper and its optional supplement. The CFP (2026 cycle, checked 2026-07-08 via `sigops.org/s/conferences/sosp/2026/cfp.html` and the `sosp26.hotcrp.com` submission form) allows supplementary material as a **separate document** uploaded alongside the anonymized PDF. Its charter is narrow: content that supports the paper but is **not critical to evaluating it** — formal proofs, extra data analyses, methodological detail. Reviewers may open it; nothing obligates them to. ## The governing asymmetry The paper must stand alone inside its 12 pages of technical content. The supplement can only *deepen* an argument the paper already completes — it cannot *carry* one. This produces a simple sorting rule for every candidate paragraph, proof, and figure: | Content | Where it lives | Why | |---|---|---| | The invariant your correctness claim rests on, stated and argued | Paper | Review-critical; a reviewer who skips the supplement must still be convinced | | The full mechanized or manual proof of that invariant | Supplement | Depth behind a claim the paper already supports with a proof sketch | | Headline performanc

What does the sosp-supplementary skill do?
Use when deciding what belongs in a SOSP supplementary document versus the 12-page paper, packaging proofs, extended analyses, and methodological detail as a separate anonymized upload, and keeping review-critical evidence out of material reviewers are not obligated to read.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill sosp-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 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.
