Guides academic researchers on structuring, formatting, and routing content across the 13-page body, mandatory appendices, and external artifacts for USENIX Security submissions.

The USENIX Security Supplementary Material skill assists researchers and authors in organizing their academic paper drafts according to USENIX Security Symposium guidelines. It provides precise rules for managing the 13-page main body limit, placing the mandatory Ethical Considerations and Open Science appendices correctly before the references, and demoting non-critical content to optional post-reference appendices or external artifact repositories. This ensures all decision-critical evaluation, threat models, and limitation disclosures remain in reviewer-guaranteed reading zones while maintaining strict format compliance without resorting to template-breaking formatting tricks.

Key Features

01Applies the four-tier reading guarantee model to audit content placement across main body, mandatory appendices, and optional sections
02Audits external artifact links to ensure identity anonymization and distinct boundaries between evaluation and reproduction materials
03Enforces strict placement rules for mandatory Ethical Considerations and Open Science appendices before references
04Provides a systematic demotion test to move non-essential proofs, full tables, and survey instruments without weakening paper claims

06Generates standardized LaTeX document skeletons following USENIX Security formatting rules

Use Cases

01Triage an over-length security paper draft to fit within the 13-page main body cap without losing crucial empirical evidence
02Structure mandatory Ethical Considerations and Open Science sections to comply with USENIX submission standards
03Audit submission PDFs and artifact repositories for anonymization leaks and proper appendix routing prior to conference deadlines
