ecai-writing-style
Use when writing or tightening an ECAI paper body — leading with a general-AI contribution on the first page, matching evidence to claim (a theorem and construction, or a fair empirical comparison), and doing it inside a 7-page body where every paragraph must earn its space.

# ECAI Writing Style
ECAI reviews a **7-page body** across the full breadth of AI (symbolic reasoning, KR, planning,
search, multi-agent systems, ML, and applications). Two things follow, and they drive most of the
advice here: the contribution must be legible to a **general** AI audience, and the writing must be
**dense** — at 7 pages there is no room for a paragraph that does not carry the argument.
## The ECAI first-page arc
Land the whole contribution before the fold:
1. **A well-posed AI problem** — stated as a problem, not as "X has become popular."
2. **Why current methods are inadequate** — the specific gap, in one or two sentences.
3. **The contribution** — the mechanism, and where the claim is provable, the **guarantee**.
