Individual skill
rss-writing-style
Use when revising an RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems) draft to meet the science-first bar — a falsifiable claim about robotics up front, evidence sized to claim scope, honest failure reporting, concision under an 8-page ceiling that rewards brevity, and prose that pre-answers reviewers because a rebuttal may never come.

# RSS Writing Style
Revise the manuscript for the venue where "the robot worked" is the beginning of a
paper, not its conclusion. RSS expects a scientific claim; the writing's job is to
make that claim visible, falsifiable, and already defended.
## The claim-first page
By the end of page one, a reader should be able to fill in:
- **Claim:** what is asserted about robotics (a mechanism, a property, a bottleneck,
a transferable capability) — one sentence, no system name required.
- **Stakes:** what the field does differently if the claim is true.
- **Test:** what evidence in this paper could have falsified it.
