ieee-methods

ieee-methods is a skill for Claude Code from TenWalk/ieee-skills. It costs 142 tokens per session (890 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for writing or checking the methods section of an IEEE communications paper. This section explains enough of a study for another researcher to understand and reproduce it.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for notation tables, system models, simulation parameters, solver and training settings, random seeds, algorithms, convergence statements, and complexity analysis.
Why use it?
It helps expose missing assumptions, definitions, settings, and implementation details that can make results difficult to verify. It also ties complexity claims to measurable problem dimensions.

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-methods 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 9d 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.

IEEE Methods and Reproducibility

Use this skill to turn a method description into a reproducible IEEE communications methods block. It sits between ieee-writing and ieee-experiments: writing explains the idea; this skill makes the implementation, notation, and complexity auditable.

Core stance

  • Reproducible beats impressive. A reviewer should be able to rebuild the main curve from the system model, parameter table, algorithm box, and solver/training details.
  • Define every symbol at first use. If a variable appears in an equation, it needs a domain, dimension, unit when relevant, and role.
  • Separate assumptions from simplifications. Assumptions define the studied regime; simplifications need a boundary or robustness check.
  • Complexity claims need variables. State big-O in terms of antennas/users/subcarriers/RIS elements/iterations, not a vague "low complexity".
  • No hidden implementation. Solver version, stopping tolerance, Monte-Carlo realization count, train/test split, and randomization policy are methods content, not footnotes.

When to open extra files

File Open when
references/reproducibility-checklist.md Auditing or writing system/channel setup, simulation-parameter tables, randomization, solvers, training data, hardware/testbed/ray-tracing settings, or reproducibility statements
references/notation-and-complexity.md Building notation tables, algorithm boxes, convergence statements, or big-O complexity analysis

Use ieee-writing for full Section II/III prose, ieee-experiments for benchmark/metric design, ieee-figure for result plots, and ieee-latex for IEEEtran formatting and compilation.

Workflow

  1. Identify the method object: system model, problem formulation, algorithm, analysis, neural network, simulation protocol, or testbed/ray-tracing setup.
  2. Extract the reproducibility variables: topology, channel, signal model, optimization variables, metrics, solver/training setup, and random quantities.
  3. Build a notation table for nontrivial papers: symbol, size/domain, meaning, first equation.
  4. Write the method in signal flow order: input -> transformation/channel/optimization -> output -> metric. Avoid listing modules without explaining information flow.
  5. Add a parameter table for experiments and shared settings. Put repeated constants there, not scattered through prose.
  6. For algorithms, add an algorithm box with initialization, loop, stopping criterion, and returned variables. Label exact, approximate, and learned steps.
  7. State convergence and complexity honestly: KKT/stationary/global only when proved; complexity per iteration plus total iteration count when applicable.
  8. Flag gaps that prevent reproduction rather than filling them by guess.

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-methods is a skill published in the GitHub repository TenWalk/ieee-skills (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 142 tokens to every session and 890 once invoked, about $0.0007 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.
