Conext Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a networking project belongs at ACM CoNEXT or should be routed to SIGCOMM, NSDI, IMC, SIGMETRICS, MobiCom, or HotNets, and when using CoNEXT's two-cycles-per-year calendar and PACMNET journal-style fit to choose the venue and the cycle by contribution shape and evidence maturity.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
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.
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Conext Topic Selection loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 723 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.
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.

.claude/skills/conext-topic-selection/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Decide the venue and the cycle before drafting. CoNEXT — the ACM International Conference on emerging Networking EXperiments and Technologies, sponsored by ACM SIGCOMM — is a broad systems-and-measurement networking venue whose research papers are PACMNET journal articles. Reviewers read for a durable networking contribution evaluated on the real target (a testbed, deployment, or trace), not a one-conference result. A technically strong paper whose real lesson is about pure theory, pure ML, or a non-networking system is respected and then rejected as out of scope.
Networking has several strong flagships with overlapping scope, so ask two things:
A strong paper is often publishable at more than one venue; the nearer honest deadline and the best community fit usually win.
| Signal in your project | Better home | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Broad networking contribution — systems, measurement, or architecture — evaluated on a real platform, ready for the nearer CoNEXT cycle | CoNEXT | Two-cycle PACMNET track; broad systems-networking scope |
| Top-tier, polished result aimed at the field's most selective single-deadline stage | SIGCOMM | The flagship; single annual deadline, its own bar and calendar |
| Systems paper centered on a built-and-deployed networked system with a strong implementation story | NSDI | Networked-systems design and implementation focus; USENIX proceedings |
| The whole contribution is a measurement study of the Internet or a large system | IMC | Purpose-built internet-measurement venue |
| Core is performance modeling, analysis, or evaluation methodology | SIGMETRICS | Measurement-and-modeling home (also a PACMNET-family stream) |
| Wireless/mobile systems are the heart | MobiCom / MobiSys | Mobile/wireless-systems scope |
| Early idea or position with an argument but little evaluation | HotNets (or CoNEXT Student Workshop) | Venue for provocative early work |
Two quick tests sharpen a borderline verdict:
If your paper leans on a learner or LLM, ask whether the networking lesson survives swapping the
model for another. If not, the model is the contribution and an ML venue fits better; if the
lesson is about the network (a measured phenomenon, a deployable mechanism), CoNEXT fits — evaluate
it on the real target and add a contamination-aware ablation (see
conext-experiments).
Fit is necessary but not sufficient: the same idea sits at different doors depending on how far the evidence has come. An idea with an argument but little evaluation is a HotNets or Student-Workshop paper; a mechanism evaluated only in simulation needs a testbed before the research track; a measurement too preliminary for the bar belongs in a workshop first. Submitting one step early earns a "promising, but..." — but CoNEXT's two cycles soften this: the next honest deadline is months away, not a year.
[Scope] scan the last two CoNEXT programs (dblp, conferences.sigcomm.org) for your subarea
-> 3+ recent papers = a reviewer pool exists; 0 = opening or mismatch
[Citations] is your bibliography majority networking venues (CoNEXT/SIGCOMM/NSDI/IMC/SIGMETRICS)?
-> majority non-networking => reviewers read you as a visitor; naturalize the intro first
[Calendar] which CoNEXT cycle (Dec/Jun) is next, vs. SIGCOMM/NSDI/IMC dates -> route to the nearest
honest fit rather than waiting for a marginal preference[Audience] who acts differently if the claim holds? -> operators / protocol designers / systems builders / researchers?
[Claim type] systems mechanism / measurement / architecture / operational / wireless
[Platform] is it evaluated on the real target, or only simulated? -> real => CoNEXT-ready
[CoNEXT vs siblings] pure measurement -> IMC; built system with deep impl -> NSDI; top polish -> SIGCOMM
[Cycle] December vs June -> nearest honest deadline the evidence is ready for
[Verdict] CoNEXT <cycle> / sibling venue / workshop, with a one-line reasonRun this before the writing skills; a wrong venue or cycle decision wastes every later step. When
the verdict is CoNEXT, continue with conext-workflow for the
calendar and conext-writing-style for the paper shape.

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Conext Topic Selection is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Conext Topic Selection is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.7k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 6.8k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
