Appendix Writer

Purpose

Organize appendix material so it supports the main paper without hiding essential claims or evidence from the main text.

When To Use

• Preparing supplementary proofs, implementation details, extended tables, prompts, datasets, or additional figures.
• Moving content out of the main paper due to page limits.
• Checking whether the main text improperly depends on appendix-only evidence.

Inputs

Required:

• target venue appendix/supplement rules;
• main paper claim-evidence matrix;
• candidate appendix materials;
• main text references to appendix.

Optional:

• supplementary file policy;
• anonymous-review constraints;
• camera-ready changes.

Procedure

1. Classify appendix material: proof, implementation, extra experiment, dataset detail, failure case, prompt, ethics, or supplement.
2. Check whether any main claim relies only on appendix evidence.
3. Add clear cross-references from main text.
4. Keep appendix sections searchable and self-contained.
5. Preserve anonymity and venue supplement rules.
6. Move non-essential detail to appendix; keep decisive evidence in main text.

Rubric

Dimension	Strong	Weak
Main-text independence	Core claims supported in main paper	Main proof hidden in appendix
Organization	Clear appendix sections	Dump of leftovers
Referencing	Main text points to appendix	Appendix unreferenced
Compliance	Follows venue supplement rules	Anonymous leaks or wrong file type
Reproducibility	Useful implementation detail	Missing key settings

Venue Adaptation

• ICLR/NeurIPS/ICML: appendices are common for proofs, extended experiments, and reproducibility details.
• CVPR/ECCV: supplement may include additional visual examples, videos, or implementation details; anonymity still matters.
• AAAI: verify author-kit and supplement rules before relying on appendix.
• TMI: supplementary file types are constrained; challenge or conference-extension materials need careful handling.
• arXiv: appendix can be public, but ensure source package compiles cleanly.
