aaai-writing-style

aaai-writing-style is a skill for Claude Code from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. It costs 68 tokens per session (700 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing guide for AAAI papers, where researchers present artificial-intelligence methods and results to a broad review committee. It focuses on making the problem, contribution, evidence, limitations, and ethical considerations clear from the first page.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to revise an AAAI manuscript's contribution statement, structure, notation, figures, related work, limitations, ethics discussion, and checklist alignment.
Why use it?
It helps readers outside a narrow specialty understand why the work matters and checks that claims match the evidence and reproducibility requirements.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

aaai-writing-style scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AAAI Writing Style

Use this to make a technically sound draft readable to a broad AI program committee. AAAI rewards clear AI contribution, not only subfield-specific benchmark wins.

AAAI framing

  • State the AI problem, the new capability or insight, and the evidence in the first page.
  • Make clear whether the contribution is method, theory, system, benchmark, dataset, evaluation, human-AI interaction, social impact, or alignment.
  • Explain why the result matters outside a single dataset or implementation.
  • Keep claims aligned with the reproducibility checklist and supplementary evidence.
  • Discuss limitations and ethical considerations when the method affects people, safety, privacy, fairness, security, or social impact.

Two-column readability

  • Use figures and tables as decision aids, not decoration.
  • Keep notation lightweight and define it near first use.
  • Use compact related-work contrasts instead of long literature catalogues.
  • Make the Phase 1 summary easy: problem, method, evidence, limitation, checklist compliance.
  • Avoid unsupported "general intelligence", "human-level", or "safe" claims.

Reading the paper as a Phase-1 reviewer

A non-specialist on AAAI's broad committee gives the first page a few minutes and decides whether the paper is worth deeper reading. Write so that a planning or KR reviewer can summarize your learning contribution, and vice versa. Audit the opening against what that reader needs to extract fast.

First-page question Reviewer extracts Failure symptom
What is the problem one AI task statement jargon with no anchor
What is new the single contribution a list, no headline
Why believe it evidence in one line "see Section 6" only
What are the limits scope and caveat silence or overclaim

Phrasing fixes that survive AAAI review

  • Replace "we achieve state of the art" with the specific delta and the setting it holds in.
  • Replace bare "safe" or "human-level" with a measured, scoped statement the evidence supports.
  • Replace a long related-work catalogue with two or three sharp contrasts a non-specialist can follow.
  • Tie every strong claim back to a checklist answer so rigor and prose agree.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
