What it does

Acl Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning an ACL submission against the NLP literature, covering ACL Anthology citation practice, arXiv-versus-published version citation, concurrent LLM-era preprints, prior-cycle ARR resubmission overlap, anonymity-preserving self-citation, and the fast-moving baseline problem in computational linguistics.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search, Literature review and Citation management. It works with arXiv. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. ｜ 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • ArXiv-versus-published version citation
  • Concurrent LLM-era preprints

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Acl Related Work loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 704 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when positioning an ACL submission against the NLP literature, covering ACL Anthology citation practice, arXiv-versus-published version citation, concurrent LLM-era preprints, prior-cycle ARR resubmission overlap, anonymity-preserving self-citation, and the fast-moving baseline problem in computational linguistics.

Use this to audit positioning and citation hygiene. NLP moves fast enough that related-work sections age between ARR cycles; the section must prove the authors know the field as of this cycle, not as of the project's start.

The Anthology-first rule

  • When a paper exists in the ACL Anthology (or another archival venue), cite that version, not its arXiv preprint — Anthology entries are the community's citation of record and carry stable BibTeX.
  • The Anthology is fully open access (post-2016 materials under CC BY 4.0), so "couldn't access the published version" is never a defense here.
  • For findings-tier work, cite it as Findings of ACL/EMNLP — it is archival and reviewers treat miscrediting it as sloppiness.

Freshness pressure unique to this field

  • Expect at least one reviewer to name a baseline or dataset from the last two conference rounds. Sweep ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, EACL, TACL, and CL for the nearest neighbors published since your project began.
  • LLM-era concurrency is the norm: assume 2-4 similar preprints exist. Cite the ones findable at submission, contrast on technique rather than date, and avoid priority wars that reviewers cannot adjudicate.
  • If a newer model release makes your comparison set look dated mid-cycle, address it in the author response and plan the upgrade for camera-ready or resubmission — silence reads as unawareness.

Positioning moves that work at ACL

Contribution typeThe contrast reviewers want spelled out
MethodNearest prior method + the mechanism-level difference, not just scores
ResourceExisting datasets' coverage gaps: languages, domains, phenomena, license
Analysis / evaluationWhat prior evaluations measured incorrectly or could not see
MetricFailure cases of the incumbent metric, with correlation evidence
Theme-track paperHow the work answers the year's theme question (ACL 2026: explainability)

One paragraph of typed contrast per lane beats an undifferentiated citation inventory; ACL's compressed format cannot afford taxonomy for its own sake.

Self-citation and resubmission overlap

  • Cite your own prior work in third person ("Building on Smith (2024)...") so anonymity survives; heavy reliance on one group's unpublished thread is itself an anonymity leak.
  • If this is an ARR resubmission, the revision note — not the related-work section — is where you discuss the previous version; the paper itself should read cleanly to a fresh reviewer.
  • Workshop and non-archival versions (most *ACL workshops are archival — check!) must be declared under the dual-submission policy rather than quietly extended.

Preprint-era eligibility judgment calls

  • Your own arXiv preprint of this submission is allowed (no anonymity period since January 2024), but the declared preprint status must match reality.
  • A competing preprint that appeared after your ARR submission date is concurrent work: cite it in camera-ready, note the timing, contrast honestly.
  • Do not cite an inaccessible or anonymized document as supporting evidence — ARR forbids leaning on materials reviewers cannot read.

Two-pass audit procedure

text
Pass 1 (coverage): for each claim of novelty, list the 3 nearest works
  from Anthology search + recent cycles; verify each is cited and
  contrasted, not just listed.
Pass 2 (hygiene): for each bib entry, check venue-of-record vs arXiv,
  Findings attribution, third-person self-citation, and that no cited
  item is reviewer-inaccessible.

Where to actually search, in order

  1. ACL Anthology full-text/venue search — the canonical record for every *ACL main conference, Findings volume, TACL, CL, and most workshops.
  2. The most recent two conference rounds' accepted-paper lists (each edition's site publishes them) — the freshness sweep reviewers run.
  3. Semantic Scholar / Google Scholar citation graphs walked forward from your three nearest neighbors — who already built on them?
  4. arXiv cs.CL for the concurrent-preprint scan, dated against your cycle's submission deadline so "concurrent" is defensible.
  5. Leaderboards and dataset pages for your benchmarks — the SOTA row often names an uncited system.

For each literature lane, three sentences: (1) what the lane established, with its two or three best citations; (2) the specific gap or assumption it left; (3) how this paper differs mechanically. Delete any sentence that neither cites nor contrasts. In a short paper, the whole section may be one such paragraph plus contrasts woven into the introduction — that is normal and reviewers at ACL expect it.

Red flags reviewers name explicitly

  • "The authors seem unaware of X" — the fatal version of staleness; one missed obvious neighbor outweighs fifty dutiful citations.
  • Citing a paper for a claim it does not make (checked more often than authors expect, since reviewers know their own subfield's papers).
  • A wall of "recently, LLMs have..." citations with no load-bearing role.
  • Comparing against numbers from a cited paper's arXiv v1 that changed in the published version.

Output format

text
[Positioning verdict] sharp / inventory-like / stale / overlapping
[Nearest neighbors] <3 works -> stated distinction each>
[Freshness risks] <recent baselines or datasets unaddressed>
[Citation hygiene] <arXiv-vs-Anthology, Findings credit, self-citation voice>
[Overlap declarations] <resubmission / workshop / preprint items to declare>
