NeurIPS Supplementary

Use this skill to prevent two common NeurIPS failures: hiding the main contribution in the appendix and overloading the main paper with details that belong in supplemental material.

Placement rules

• Main paper: problem, contribution, method, essential theory, core experiments, limitations, and enough detail for reviewers to judge correctness.
• References: complete, verified citations; do not rely on AI-generated references without manual verification.
• Text appendices: proofs, derivations, additional ablations, dataset details, model cards, extended limitations, and supporting analyses.
• Checklist: mandatory and placed according to current template instructions.
• Separate ZIP: code, data, scripts, configuration files, logs, lightweight demo assets, or other review artifacts when allowed by current rules.
