When to use it

Provides paragraph-level structural blueprints for 10-12 page systems papers targeting OSDI, SOSP, ASPLOS, NSDI, and EuroSys. Covers page budgets per section, writing patterns (gap analysis, observation-driven, contribution list, thesis formula), evaluation structure, venue checklists, reviewer guidelines, deadlines, and LaTeX templates for OSDI, NSDI, ASPLOS, and SOSP. Use when planning the section and page layout of a systems paper. Use when drafting an introduction, motivation, design, or evaluation section. Use when checking a draft against venue page limits and a pre-submission checklist. Use when anticipating how systems reviewers will assess a paper. Use when looking up conference formats or deadlines. For NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR papers or citation verification, use ml-paper-writing instead.

Example requests

Ask your agent in plain language, for example:
  • “How should I split pages across sections for an OSDI submission?”
  • “I’m drafting the intro for our NSDI paper on a GPU cluster scheduler (intro.tex). Existing schedulers like Gandiva and Tiresias miss a few things for our workloads. Can you lay out the paragraphs so the gaps get stated clearly and tie to our design sections? We plan to list 4 contributions at the end.”
  • “My systems paper draft is done and I want to know how a PC member will judge it. What will they look for, and what should I fix before I hit submit?”
