vis-supplementary
Use when deciding what belongs in an IEEE VIS paper body versus its supplemental materials, covering the VGTC/TVCG 9+2 page budget, the supplemental video that VIS reviewers routinely watch, the one-week supplemental deadline extension, double-blind supplemental anonymization, and how to split a visualization paper between the reviewed pages and the archive.

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.
# VIS Supplementary Use this when assembling IEEE VIS supplemental material. The governing rule is strict: **the paper must be judgeable from the reviewed pages alone.** But VIS is unusual among conferences in how much its reviewers *rely on the supplemental video and code* to understand an interactive contribution — so the split is not "body carries everything, supplement is optional" but "body carries the decision, supplement makes the interaction and reproduction legible." ## What goes where | Content | Body (within 9-page budget) | Supplemental (archive/video) | |---|---|---| | The contribution and its claims | Yes | — | | Core technique / system design / study design | Yes | Full parameter grids, extra configs | | Headline results and the evaluation that backs them | Yes | Full result tables, secondary conditions | | The encoding/interaction rationale | Yes | — | | A static figure of the interface | Yes | The **video** showing the interaction in motion | | Statistical tests behind a claim | The result + test named | The analysis notebook | | Datasets, stimuli, raw study responses | Summary + selection criterion | The full data/stimuli | | Reproduction instructions | A pointer

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