conext-writing-style

Use when shaping the prose and structure of an ACM CoNEXT paper — leading with the networking problem and deployment context, tying every claim to a measurement on the real target platform, arguing limitations rather than reciting them, and holding the acmart page budget for long (≤16) and short (≤10) papers.

# CoNEXT Writing Style

Write to the CoNEXT reader: a networking systems/measurement expert who wants the **networking
contribution and the evaluation platform on the first page**, evidence **proportional to the claim**
and drawn from the **real target**, and a limitations posture visible from the start. Because CoNEXT
papers are **PACMNET** journal articles judged in a two-round, one-shot-revision process, the draft
must read like a manuscript whose claims are already backed, not a promising sketch.

## The first-page arc

Lead with the arc the worked example demonstrates
([`../../resources/worked-examples/01-introduction.md`](../../resources/worked-examples/01-introduction.md)):
