What it does

Cav Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning a CAV (Computer Aided Verification) submission against the verification literature across CAV, TACAS, FMCAD, VMCAI, POPL/PLDI, and the journals (FMSD, JAR, TOCL, STTT), writing delta-first contrast rather than a citation catalog, crediting the right benchmark and tool lineages, keeping self-citations double-anonymous for the anonymized categories, and handling concurrent and prior-version overlap.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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, Citation management and Positioning and messaging. 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

  • Positioning a CAV (Computer Aided Verification) submission against the verification literature across CAV
  • The journals (FMSD
  • Writing delta-first contrast rather than a citation catalog
  • Crediting the right benchmark and tool lineages

Example prompts

  • “/cav-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

Cav Related Work loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 517 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 a CAV (Computer Aided Verification) submission against the verification literature across CAV, TACAS, FMCAD, VMCAI, POPL/PLDI, and the journals (FMSD, JAR, TOCL, STTT), writing delta-first contrast rather than a citation catalog, crediting the right benchmark and tool lineages, keeping self-citations double-anonymous for the anonymized categories, and handling concurrent and prior-version overlap.

Use this to audit novelty and eligibility. CAV reviewers are close to the verification literature and expect to see where your paper sits relative to the nearest prior technique or tool — stated as a delta, not a list. Reopen the current CFP for dual-submission, anonymity, and prior-publication rules before advising authors.

Positioning checks

  • Separate the verification novelty from the engineering effort. What is new: an algorithm, a decision procedure, an abstraction, a soundness result, a tool capability, or a benchmark regime nobody had covered?
  • Cover the verification lanes. CAV reviewers expect the flagship venues, the tool ecosystems, and the journals — not just the papers nearest your method (see the table). A bibliography missing the obvious sibling work reads as unaware.
  • Write delta-first. Each closely related paper gets one sentence naming what it did and one naming what you do differently — a technical contrast (what their method cannot do that yours can), not a summary.
  • Credit tool and benchmark lineages. If you extend or compare against a solver/model checker or use a standard benchmark set, cite the tool paper and the benchmark/competition to their real origin — and to the right venue (Z3 is TACAS, not CAV; see the exemplars guardrails).
  • Preserve double-anonymity where required. For Regular and Application papers, cite your own prior work in the third person and never link reviewers to an identity-revealing preprint, repository, or tool homepage. (Tool and Industrial papers are not anonymized.)
  • Declare overlap with any prior workshop/conference version or concurrent submission; do not re-submit archival work as new.

Verification literature lanes

LaneTypical venuesWhat CAV reviewers check
Flagship verificationCAV, TACASWhether the nearest broad technique/tool is compared or distinguished
Hardware / designFMCADWhether hardware-model-checking predecessors are credited
Model checking & abstract interpretationVMCAIWhether foundational analysis work is engaged
Reasoning & proofIJCAR, LPAR, ITP, CADEWhether the proof/solver lineage is cited to its origin
PL foundationsPOPL, PLDI, OOPSLAWhether borrowed semantics/analysis ideas are credited
JournalsFMSD, JAR, TOCL, STTTWhether deeper journal-length treatments of the topic are engaged

A bibliography that cites only your own subarea tells a reviewer the delta may be smaller than claimed; one that reaches the sibling flagships, the tool papers, and the journals signals command of the field.

Delta-first positioning vignette

Suppose the paper proposes a new interpolation-based invariant-synthesis technique. Its nearest neighbors: the foundational interpolation-and-model-checking line (technique, different property class), a TACAS tool that computes invariants by a different abstraction (tool, no interpolants), and a journal study of interpolant quality (analysis, no synthesis method). The novelty sentence should name all three contrasts — synthesis where the study offered only analysis, interpolant-based where the tool used a different abstraction, and a new property class beyond the foundational line — and cite each to its correct venue.

Concurrent and prior-version judgment calls

text
[Concurrent arXiv work]   cite neutrally, state the technical difference, avoid unverifiable
                          priority claims; keep the citation anonymous for Regular/Application
[Your workshop version]   often non-archival and citable, but confirm against the current CFP and
                          phrase so anonymity survives (anonymized categories)
[Prior tool-paper version] declare the overlap; state what the new paper adds beyond the tool release
[Archival status unclear]  declare the overlap in the submission form rather than guessing

Eligibility red flags

  • Substantial text overlap with a published paper by the same authors (self-plagiarism risk).
  • A "new" evaluation that re-reports a prior benchmark run without a new technique or question.
  • Attributing a technique/tool to the wrong venue (the TACAS/FMCAD/VMCAI-vs-CAV trap) — a reviewer who knows the lineage reads it as carelessness.

Output format

text
[Eligibility] clear / needs declaration / risky
[Lanes covered] <flagship / hardware / model-checking-AI / reasoning / PL / journals>
[Nearest 3 works] <work -> one-line technical delta -> correct venue cited?>
[Archival-overlap risk] <none / declare: what>
[Novelty sentence] <CAV-ready contribution contrast against the nearest prior technique/tool>
