The supplement can support the paper, but the 8-page main submission must stand on its own; a body that is unintelligible without the appendix reads as unreviewable within the page limit. ## Supplement structure - Put full proofs, extended game and mechanism definitions, extra ablations, opponent-set documentation, and robustness tables in a clean appendix or supplementary document. - Put executable assets - game code, environments, learning rules - in the anonymized zip when the current OpenReview form allows it. - Respect the current supplement size cap (25 MB single zip in 2026) and the deadline. - Keep every supplementary file double-blind: no authors, institutions, acknowledgements, private paths, repository owners, or identifying metadata. - Do not hide essential motivation, the core game definition, the main theorem statements, or the primary interaction results in the supplement. - Verify the archive opens on a clean machine and carries no credentials, caches, or OS metadata. ## Appendix architecture for proofs and games - Order appendix sections to mirror the body: game and notation, main proofs, auxiliary lemmas, additional agents/opponents, then extended experiments. - Restate each theorem and the relevant game before its proof so the appendix reads standalone without flipping back to the two-column body. - Keep one proof sketch and the full game definition in the body itself; an AAMAS paper whose entire strategic argument lives in the appendix cannot be judged in eight pages. - Cross-reference every appendix table, lemma, and opponent set from the body at least once; orphaned supplement material is invisible under reviewer discretion. ## What gets opened first | Supplement item | Inspection likelihood | Practical implication | |---|---|---| | Proof of the headline equilibrium/mechanism result | High | Polish to main-text standard | | Extended game or environment definition | High | Reviewers reconstruct the interaction from it | | Extra opponent/population results | Medium | Reference each from the body | | Code/environment archive | Variable, reviewer discretion | README must orient a reader in one minute | | Raw episode logs | Low | Include for completeness, never rely on them | ## Vignette: splitting a mechanism-design paper A submission proving a truthful decentralized mechanism plus a self-play study: the body keeps the mechanism definition, the dominant-strategy theorem, one proof sketch, and the two decision-critical figures (truthfulness under learning and the efficiency gap); the appendix holds full proofs and sensitivity sweeps; the zip carries the game generator and the strategic-deviation harness. Nothing decision-critical lives only in the zip, because archive inspection is discretionary. ## Output format ```text [Supplement status] Ready / Needs fixes / Not ready [Files] [Size/deadline] [Anonymity checks] [Main-paper dependency] ```
