ieee-letter

ieee-letter is a skill for Claude Code from TenWalk/ieee-skills. It costs 209 tokens per session (2,004 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A writing guide for IEEE Communications Letters and IEEE Wireless Communications Letters, which publish brief research papers about communications technology.

In plain words
What is it for?
Drafting or shortening a communications letter with a focused introduction, one system model, and one main result.
Why use it?
It helps reduce a paper to one clearly supported contribution within a strict page limit, without inventing evidence.

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

ieee-letter 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 11d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 138 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

IEEE Communications Letter (WCL / CL)

A letter is not a short transactions paper. It is a single, sharp contribution presented under a tight page budget (currently a 5-page maximum for both WCL and CL, with page charges beyond the free page budget under ComSoc guidance). The job is to make one result land — fast — and to cut everything that does not serve it. Use this skill to draft a letter from scratch or to compress an over-length draft.

Core stance

  • One contribution, stated once. A letter carries a single advance: one algorithm, one closed-form expression, one new scheme, or one decisive finding. If the draft has two, it is a transactions paper — say so and use ieee-writing.
  • The free-page budget is a design constraint, not a trim at the end. Plan the budget before drafting (see page budget below). Treat a paid fifth page as a strategic decision for essential evidence, not as permission to write a small transaction.
  • No standalone Related Work section. Prior work is folded into the Introduction as the gap.
  • Author evidence comes first. Never invent results, numbers, channel models, benchmark schemes, or limitations. Missing evidence → [PLACEHOLDER: ...] or ask the user.
  • Same IEEE register as a transactions paper: US English, numbered citations [n], bold-vector / bold-matrix notation, equations numbered only for the skeleton of the argument.

Changes

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.

ieee-letter is a skill published in the GitHub repository TenWalk/ieee-skills (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 209 tokens to every session and 2,004 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
