Individual skill
icra-writing-style
Use when drafting or tightening an ICRA manuscript — leading with the robot task and physical constraint, compressing a systems story into 6 IEEE two-column pages, writing figure-first for skimming reviewers, quantifying instead of demo-speak, and keeping notation consistent across kinematics, control, and learning sections.

# ICRA Writing Style
An ICRA paper is read by a tired Associate Editor and two or three reviewers who
between them skim hundreds of robotics PDFs each autumn. The style that survives
this is figure-first, task-first, and ruthlessly quantitative. This skill rewrites
drafts toward that shape inside the 6-content-page envelope.
## Lead with the task, not the technique
The strongest ICRA openings establish, within the first column: what the robot
must do, why physics or uncertainty makes that hard, what the paper contributes,
and what the headline number is.
