What it does

Conext Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when writing the related-work and positioning of an ACM CoNEXT paper — covering the networking literature lanes (SIGCOMM, NSDI, IMC, SIGMETRICS, MobiCom, CCR), delta-first positioning against the venue's own recent programs, and keeping self-citations double-anonymous.

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 ACM CoNEXT paper — covering the networking literature lanes (SIGCOMM
  • Delta-first positioning against the venues own recent programs
  • Keeping self-citations double-anonymous

Example prompts

  • “/conext-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

Conext Related Work loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 523 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
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 ACM CoNEXT paper — covering the networking literature lanes (SIGCOMM, NSDI, IMC, SIGMETRICS, MobiCom, CCR), delta-first positioning against the venue's own recent programs, and keeping self-citations double-anonymous.

Position the paper for a networking reviewer who knows the field's flagships cold. At CoNEXT, related work is not a literature dump; it is the delta argument — what your contribution adds over the closest prior systems and measurements — written so a double-anonymous reviewer can locate your paper in the networking landscape in one read.

Cover the lanes a networking reviewer expects

A CoNEXT reviewer will mentally check whether you engage the right bodies of work:

  • The flagship conferences: SIGCOMM, NSDI, and CoNEXT itself for systems and architecture.
  • Measurement: IMC (and PAM) for internet/system measurement methodology and findings.
  • Performance/modeling: SIGMETRICS for analysis and evaluation methodology.
  • Wireless/mobile: MobiCom, MobiSys, and related venues when relevant.
  • The journal and letters record: IEEE/ACM ToN, CCR (SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review), and now PACMNET itself.

Missing the lane your paper lives in — e.g., a measurement paper that ignores IMC methodology, or a data-plane paper that ignores the recent SIGCOMM/NSDI switch-hardware line — reads as unfamiliarity and invites a change-list item in a one-shot revision.

Delta-first positioning

Write each comparison as a delta sentence, not a summary:

text
Prior work X [SIGCOMM'YY] measures/builds <what> but <the gap on the real target>;
we <the specific advance> and show it on <the real platform/trace>.
  • Lead with the closest prior work, not the oldest or most famous.
  • Make the delta concrete and testable: a new mechanism, a measured phenomenon prior work missed, a platform prior work did not evaluate on, a scale prior work did not reach.
  • Avoid "to the best of our knowledge, we are the first" unless it is literally true and checkable; a measurement reviewer will know a counterexample.

Keep self-citation anonymous

CoNEXT is double-anonymous, so your own prior work is a leak surface:

  • Cite your prior papers in the third person ("Prior work [12] proposed..."), never "our previous system."
  • Do not reveal a system lineage that identifies the group (e.g., "the successor to OurSys").
  • If a comparison genuinely requires your non-anonymous artifact, use the anonymized location and describe it without owner-identifying detail.

Positioning against CoNEXT's own recent programs

Because CoNEXT runs two cycles a year and publishes in PACMNET, the venue's own recent output moves fast:

  • Scan the last two CoNEXT programs and recent PACMNET issues for work in your subarea; a paper that ignores a directly relevant CoNEXT/PACMNET paper from last cycle looks careless.
  • If your work extends a CoNEXT paper, state the delta precisely — reviewers may include that paper's authors.

Structure and length

  • Related work can be its own section or woven into the introduction and design sections; CoNEXT tolerates both, but the delta must be visible early regardless.
  • Under the acmart budget, references are unlimited — so cite generously, but keep the prose tight; a wall of one-line summaries wastes body pages you need for evidence.

Failure modes

FailureWhy it hurts at CoNEXTFix
Literature list with no deltaReviewer cannot place your contributionRewrite each entry as a delta sentence
Missing the closest prior system/measurementReads as unfamiliarity; revision riskLead with the nearest work and its gap
First-person self-citationBreaks double-anonymityThird-person, no lineage reveal
Ignoring the right lane (IMC/NSDI/SIGMETRICS)Signals you are a visitorEngage the venue where your method lives
Over-claiming "first"A reviewer knows a counterexampleScope the novelty to the checkable delta
