What problem does it solve? Writing a 10-12 page systems paper for venues like OSDI, SOSP, ASPLOS, NSDI, or EuroSys requires precise section structure, page budgeting, and venue-specific formatting that differs sharply from ML conferences, and this Skill provides the structural blueprints and checklists to meet those expectations. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Paragraph-Level Blueprints: Page allocation and per-paragraph templates for Abstract, Introduction, Background, Design, Implementation, Evaluation, Related Work, and Conclusion, grounded in guidance from Levin & Redell, Irene Zhang, and Gernot Heiser. - Venue-Specific Resources: A 7-stage pre-submission checklist, reviewer guidelines, conference deadlines, and LaTeX templates for OSDI 2026, NSDI 2027, ASPLOS 2027, and SOSP 2026. - Reusable Writing Patterns: Four structural patterns (Gap Analysis, Observation-Driven, Contribution List, Thesis Formula) with examples from papers like Lucid, Blox, and Sia. - Use Case: You are converting an ML workshop paper into an OSDI submission. Use this Skill to restructure it around the thesis formula, plan the 12-page budget, add ablation experiments, and verify formatting against the OSDI checklist. ## Quick Start Use the systems-paper-writing skill to outline a 12-page OSDI paper for my distributed scheduling system, including section page budgets and a gap-analysis introduction.
