Guides drafting and revising ACM UIST systems papers with technical depth, precise claim backing, and figure-driven narrative structures.

UIST Writing Style is a specialized academic skill designed for researchers drafting and revising submissions to ACM UIST (User Interface Software and Technology). It enforces the classic systems-paper narrative arc where the reader experiences the system through a figure-driven walkthrough before dissecting underlying mechanisms. The skill helps authors eliminate vague implementation prose, back every capability claim with concrete measurements or figures, balance two-column ACM page budgets, and conduct structured revision audits to ensure submissions are convincing, reproducible, and ready for peer review.

Key Features

01Guides page budget compression for 10-page standard and 5-page short paper limits
02Validates that every capability claim is paired with evidence, measurements, or figures
031,090 GitHub stars
04Enforces high technical specificity in implementation prose for reproducibility
05Provides automated audits across narrative flow, implementation depth, and unbacked claims
06Structures the distinct UIST systems-paper arc from teaser figure to applications

Use Cases

01Compressing and restructuring over-length ACM two-column papers without losing critical technical depth
02Auditing draft papers prior to peer review to eliminate unsupported superlative claims and vague specifications
03Drafting new HCI systems, hardware fabrication, or interaction technique manuscripts for UIST
