What it does

Ase Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when writing the related-work and positioning of an ASE (IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering) paper, covering the automated-SE literature lanes, delta-first positioning against prior tools/techniques, fair head-to-head framing, and double-anonymous self-citation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Literature review, Positioning and messaging and Citation management. 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

  • Writing the related-work and positioning of an ASE (IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering) paper
  • Covering the automated-SE literature lanes
  • Delta-first positioning against prior tools/techniques
  • Fair head-to-head framing

Example prompts

  • “/ase-related-work”

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

Ase Related Work loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 411 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 writing the related-work and positioning of an ASE (IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering) paper, covering the automated-SE literature lanes, delta-first positioning against prior tools/techniques, fair head-to-head framing, and double-anonymous self-citation.

Position the paper against prior automation, not against a topic. At ASE the question a reviewer holds is "what does this tool/technique do that the existing automated approaches do not?" — so related work is a delta argument, and the strongest deltas are stated against named, runnable prior tools you can (and often must) compare against empirically.

Cover the ASE literature lanes

An automated-SE paper usually sits at the intersection of several lanes; name your position in each that applies:

  • Program analysis — static/dynamic analysis, symbolic/concolic execution, abstract interpretation, invariant inference.
  • Test generation and testing — search-based, specification-based, fuzzing, regression and flaky-test handling.
  • Fault localization, debugging, and repair — spectrum-based localization, automated program repair, patch synthesis.
  • Synthesis and recommendation — program/code synthesis, API recommendation, refactoring automation.
  • Comprehension and documentation — summarization, code search, clone and change analysis.
  • Learning-based / AI4SE — learned code representations, models applied to SE tasks, LLM-based automation — and SE4AI, applying SE automation to ML systems.

Delta-first positioning

Write each related-work cluster as: prior automation X does A; it cannot do B because C; we do B. Then, where B is comparable, compare against X empirically — ASE reviewers expect a head-to-head against the closest runnable baseline, not just a prose distinction.

text
[Cluster] spectrum-based fault localization
  Prior: ranks statements by suspiciousness from pass/fail spectra.
  Gap: assumes a fixed test suite; degrades when tests are flaky.
  Delta: our technique estimates and corrects for flakiness before ranking.
  Evidence of delta: head-to-head on the same faulty subjects, §5.2, Table 3.

Fair head-to-head framing (the ASE credibility test)

  • Compare against the strongest, most recent automated baseline you can run, at an equal, documented budget (time, iterations, tuning). An under-configured baseline is the classic soundness objection and a Revision criterion waiting to happen.
  • If a baseline tool cannot run on your subjects, say why explicitly and choose the nearest viable alternative — do not quietly omit the obvious competitor.
  • Distinguish reimplementation from the original tool, and note version/commit — reviewers who built the baseline will check.

Distinguish ASE from sibling-venue prior work

Because automated-SE ideas appear across venues, position precisely: a testing-theory result may live at ISSTA, a broad empirical study at FSE, a language mechanism at a PL venue. When you cite across venues, make the ASE delta — the automation you add — explicit, so a reviewer does not read your contribution as a reheated sibling-venue result.

Double-anonymous self-citation

  • Cite your own prior tools and papers in the third person ("Prior work by [Anonymous] proposed ...", or neutrally "The X tool [12] ...") so the citation does not deanonymize you.
  • Do not write "our earlier tool" or link to a repository whose owner is you.
  • Keep the count of self-citations honest; a cluster of third-person citations to one hidden group is itself a leak.

Coverage checks

text
[Recency]   at least the last 2-3 years of ASE/ICSE/FSE/ISSTA automation in your subarea cited?
[Closest baseline] is the single most similar runnable tool named AND compared, not just cited?
[Cross-venue] PL/ML/testing neighbors positioned so your automation delta is explicit?
[Anonymity] every self-citation in the third person; no repository ownership revealed?
[Honesty]   any obvious competitor conspicuously missing? (a reviewer will notice)

Output format

text
[Lanes] which automated-SE lanes the paper touches
[Delta table] prior tool -> what it does -> gap -> your delta -> where the head-to-head lives
[Baseline fairness] closest runnable baseline named, version pinned, equal budget?
[Anonymity check] self-citations third-person, no repo owner revealed
