stoc-supplementary
Use when architecting everything beyond the first twelve pages of a STOC (ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing) submission — the discretionary-read appendix, the reviewed table of contents, theorem-to-proof pointer discipline, and the division of labor between the submission appendix and the arXiv/ECCC full version.

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

# STOC Supplementary STOC has no supplementary-upload channel, no ZIP, and no page cap. One PDF carries everything, and the 2026 CFP draws the line inside that PDF: the abstract, the **table of contents**, and the first twelve pages are read; material beyond that is read at the committee's discretion (checked 2026-07-08). So "supplementary material" at STOC means *the discretionary region of your own submission* — and designing it is a first-class writing task, because reviewers enter it selectively, through the pointers you leave. ## The table of contents is part of the supplement's interface Uniquely among major venues, STOC names the ToC as guaranteed-read material. Treat it as the map reviewers use to decide *which* discretionary pages to open: ```latex \tableofcontents % after the abstract, before Section 1 % Section titles should narrate the argument, not label boilerplate: % 4 Reducing multi-commodity routing to tree embeddings % 5 The potential-function analysis (proof of Theorem 1.2) % A Deferred proofs from Section 4 % B The lower-bound construction (proof of Theorem 1.4) % C Extension to weighted instances ``` A ToC whose appendix entries name the theorem each section pr

What does the stoc-supplementary skill do?
Use when architecting everything beyond the first twelve pages of a STOC (ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing) submission — the discretionary-read appendix, the reviewed table of contents, theorem-to-proof pointer discipline, and the division of labor between the submission appendix and the arXiv/ECCC full version.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill stoc-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.
