When your agent uses it

  • Positioning an ASPLOS submission against three communities literatures at once — covering the architecture
  • PL/compiler lanes plus accelerator and prior-ASPLOS lines
  • Handling own-work and arXiv material under the 2027 double-blind rules
  • Meeting the full-name/DOI citation format

Example prompts

  • “/asplos-related-work”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. For each lane, list the 5-10 systems a reviewer from that community would
  2. Mark each entry: boundary-competitor (gets a template paragraph),
  3. Have the co-author closest to each community audit their lane's list — the
  4. Recheck the map at every gate: between April and September a spring

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

Asplos Related Work loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 805 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

description
Use when positioning an ASPLOS submission against three communities' literatures at once — covering the architecture, OS/systems, and PL/compiler lanes plus accelerator and prior-ASPLOS lines, handling own-work and arXiv material under the 2027 double-blind rules, and meeting the full-name/DOI citation format.

An ASPLOS reviewer pool is assembled from three communities, and each reviewer checks whether their literature is handled competently. Related work at this venue is therefore a coverage problem across parallel lanes — a paper positioned beautifully against the OS literature and blankly against the architecture literature reads as half-researched to half its reviewers.

The five lanes

LaneWhat must be shownFailure the lane's reviewers spot
Architecture (ISCA/MICRO/HPCA lineage)The hardware structure or mechanism is new relative to prior microarchitectural workReinvented prefetcher/hint/metadata scheme under a new name
OS/systems (SOSP/OSDI/EuroSys/ATC lineage)The policy/runtime layer differs from existing kernel or hypervisor mechanisms"The kernel already does this with tunables"
PL/compilers (PLDI/POPL/CGO lineage)Language/compiler-level alternatives are acknowledged when the problem admits themHardware solution to a problem the compiler community solved statically
Accelerator/domain (when applicable)Placement in the accelerator design space with honest technology normalizationComparing against a three-generation-old design point
Prior ASPLOSThe intersection lineage itself — what earlier cross-layer attempts didMissing the exact ASPLOS paper a PC member wrote or shepherded

For the last lane, mine the venue's own memory: the ACM DL ASPLOS series and the Influential Paper Award list (see ../../resources/exemplars/library.md) identify the papers the community regards as canonical for a given boundary.

Differentiate on the boundary, not the components

The distinctive ASPLOS positioning move: prior work usually shares components with yours (a similar hardware structure, a similar kernel policy) while drawing the hardware/software boundary elsewhere. Say precisely where each prior system draws it and why yours moves it:

text
Template, per closest-prior system:
  "<System> provides <capability> at <layer>, which requires <cost/assumption>.
   Because it keeps <decision> in <layer>, it cannot <the thing your boundary
   placement enables>. We move <decision> to <layer>, which is what makes
   <headline property> possible."

Three such paragraphs beat fifteen one-line dismissals — and the systems that get this treatment should be the ones a hostile reviewer would name.

Double-blind handling of your own line of work (2027 rules)

  • Cite your prior published work in the third person, treated exactly like a competitor's system.
  • Your own arXiv postings and tech reports are not prior publications under the 2027 CFP, and the submission may ignore them — you are not forced into contortions differentiating against your own preprint.
  • A workshop paper this submission extends, or your related manuscript under review elsewhere, goes in as anonymized supplemental material so reviewers can judge the delta (mechanics in asplos-supplementary).
  • Never use "removed for blind review" placeholders — disallowed wording.

Format constraints that reshape this section

ASPLOS's citation rules (verified 2026-07-08) have an underappreciated interaction with related work: every entry needs all co-authors' full first and last names and a DOI/link, which makes each citation long. Since references are outside the 11-page limit this costs no body pages — but it means bibliography hygiene is a real task: budget an editing pass to expand names (asplos-submission has the mechanical sweep) rather than discovering 90 malformed entries at the deadline.

Timing and staleness

  • Sweep the most recent two editions of ASPLOS, ISCA, MICRO, SOSP/OSDI, and PLDI before each gate (the September 9, 2026 deadline follows a spring conference season — its output is your reviewers' freshest context).
  • Concurrent work that appears between cycles: acknowledge it neutrally in a revision or camera-ready; a Major Revision's change note is an expected place to add "since submission" positioning.

Building the lane map before writing

Construct the section from a spreadsheet, not from memory:

  1. For each lane, list the 5-10 systems a reviewer from that community would expect to see; source them from the last two editions' proceedings tables of contents (ACM DL for ASPLOS/ISCA/MICRO/SOSP; the respective sites for USENIX and SIGPLAN venues) rather than from citation chains, which propagate one group's blind spots.
  2. Mark each entry: boundary-competitor (gets a template paragraph), component-overlap (grouped sentence), or context (grouped citation).
  3. Have the co-author closest to each community audit their lane's list — the embarrassing omission is almost always in the lane nobody on the team calls home.
  4. Recheck the map at every gate: between April and September a spring conference season publishes, and a reviewer's own new paper is the citation they miss first.

Using the venue's own canon

The Influential Paper Award list is a positioning instrument, not just an exemplar source: if your boundary has an award-validated ancestor (an accelerator argued from data movement, a virtualization boundary redraw — see ../../resources/exemplars/library.md), citing the lineage and stating your delta against it signals venue literacy to every senior reviewer. Conversely, discovering that a canon paper already occupies your claimed boundary is cheaper during this pass than in a review.

Where the section lives

With 11 figure-inclusive pages, a late monolithic related-work section is expensive real estate. The pattern that survives compression: inline differentiation at first mention for the two or three boundary-competitors (they are part of the argument, not an appendix to it), plus a compact lane-organized section that proves coverage. What must not be compressed away is the boundary-competitor analysis — cutting it saves half a page and costs the review that says "does not engage with <System>."
