What it does
Aistats Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a project is a strong AISTATS fit, comparing AISTATS with NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, UAI, COLT, JMLR, statistics journals, or application venues, identifying the statistical primitive of the contribution, and sharpening the AI-statistics framing before writing begins.
Its SKILL.md is about 870 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 Data & Analytics, covering Statistics. 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.

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
Aistats Topic Selection loads about 873 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 392 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 deciding whether a project is a strong AISTATS fit, comparing AISTATS with NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, UAI, COLT, JMLR, statistics journals, or application venues, identifying the statistical primitive of the contribution, and sharpening the AI-statistics framing before writing begins.
AISTATS Topic Selection
Use this before writing. AISTATS is strongest for work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and statistics, especially when statistical reasoning is not merely an evaluation detail.
Fit test
- Prefer AISTATS when the contribution advances statistical foundations, inference, uncertainty, causal or probabilistic modeling, learning theory, optimization, or empirical methodology with clear AI/ML relevance.
- Route to ICML, NeurIPS, or ICLR if the main contribution is broad ML systems, representation learning, scaling, or deep learning practice with limited statistical novelty.
- Route to UAI if the contribution is primarily uncertainty, probabilistic graphical models, causality, decision making under uncertainty, or Bayesian reasoning.
- Route to COLT if the contribution is mainly formal learning theory and the empirical story is secondary.
- Route to a statistics journal when the work needs journal-length exposition, extensive proofs, or a statistics audience more than an AI conference audience.
- Check early whether the result can be made convincing in an 8-page submission body.
Fit signal table
| Signal in the project | AISTATS reading |
|---|---|
| Consistency, minimax rate, regret, or coverage result paired with experiments | Core fit — the house genre |
| Bayesian, causal, kernel, or high-dimensional methodology with guarantees | Core fit |
| Deep architecture with strong benchmarks but thin theory | Better served at NeurIPS, ICML, or ICLR |
| Pure theory with no plausible experiment | COLT or a statistics journal |
| Probabilistic reasoning without a learning angle | UAI or a statistics venue |

Vignette: where a debiased estimator goes
A project delivers a debiased lasso variant with valid confidence intervals in high dimensions and simulations confirming coverage. AISTATS reading: strong fit — an inference guarantee plus validating experiments is exactly what this venue rewards. Strip the inference theory and keep only prediction benchmarks, and the same project belongs at a general ML venue; grow it into journal-length asymptotic refinements, and Annals of Statistics or JMLR becomes the better home.
Sharpening moves before committing
- Name the statistical primitive: estimator, test, bound, posterior, or identification result. If no primitive exists, the AISTATS framing does not exist either.
- Verify the proof load fits the format: the appendix may be long, but the 8-page body must carry the argument's spine on its own.
- Confirm the experiments can be designed to test the theory rather than merely accompany it; decoration-only benchmarks are a quiet fit failure here.
- Topic emphasis drifts between cycles; scan the current CFP subject-area list before final routing.
