We show that a derived stack with symplectic form of negative degree can be locally described in terms of generalised Darboux coordinates and a Hamiltonian cohomological vector field. As a consequence we see that the classical moduli stack of vector bundles on a Calabi-Yau threefold admits an atlas consisting of critical loci of regular functions on smooth varieties. This is joint work with Ben-Bassat, Bussi, and Joyce.
