Address both benefits and risks, acknowledge uncertainties, and focus on tractable, neglected, and significant impacts. This Skill applies that framework to your paper topic and generates a 0.5-1 page section with specific risk mitigations.

It should cover positive impacts, potential risks with concrete mitigations, honest uncertainties about long-term effects, and broader societal considerations. Generic statements are discouraged; each point must connect to your specific methods and contributions.

Yes, the six-dimension framework applies to any venue requiring impact or ethics sections. When a target venue is specified, the Skill adapts the output format and provides venue-specific notes.

Common mistakes include being purely optimistic, writing generic claims disconnected from the actual work, ignoring uncertainties, and omitting mitigations for identified risks. The Skill's guidelines explicitly counter each of these patterns.

Typically 0.5 to 1 page in NeurIPS format, with roughly 1-2 paragraphs per dimension. The Skill generates output scoped to this length rather than attempting to cover all possible societal effects.
