uist-supplementary
Use when producing the video figure and supplementary materials for a UIST submission — treating the 3-minute video as near-mandatory evidence in a demo-culture venue, scripting it around claims, meeting the 1080p/4K H.264 spec, anonymizing frames and audio, and deciding what else ships alongside the PDF.

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.
# UIST Supplementary At most venues supplementary material is an appendix annex. At UIST the central supplementary object is the **video figure**, and it is closer to a second first-page than to an attachment: reviewers at a venue built on demo culture watch it early, form their belief about whether the system is real, and read the paper through that belief. The 2026 Author Guide calls it optional but highly encouraged; for any paper whose contribution moves, responds, or renders, treat "optional" as theoretical. ## The 2026 video spec (verified 2026-07-08) | Property | Requirement | |---|---| | Length | At most 3 minutes | | Resolution | 1080p (1920×1080) or 4K (3840×2160) | | Container/codec | MP4, H.264 | | Anonymity | Same standard as the paper — frames, audio, and filenames | | Role | Helps reviewers evaluate the submission | Captions/subtitles make the video robust to reviewers watching without audio and prefigure the accessibility work required at camera-ready (see `uist-camera-ready`). ## Script the video around claims, not features Build the shot list from the paper's contribution list — the video is the visual twin of `uist-experiments`' claim-evidence audit: ```text 0:00

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