What it does

Corl Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning a CoRL paper against the literature — the robot-learning lineage across CoRL/RSS/ICRA, the ML-methods stream from NeurIPS/ICLR/ICML, the fast-moving VLA and foundation-model wave, classical robotics baselines, concurrent arXiv work, and PMLR citation hygiene including the year-offset trap.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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, Academic paper search and Citation management. It works with arXiv. 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 CoRL paper against the literature — the robot-learning lineage across CoRL/RSS/ICRA
  • The ML-methods stream from NeurIPS/ICLR/ICML
  • The fast-moving VLA and foundation-model wave
  • Classical robotics baselines

Example prompts

  • “/corl-related-work”

Workflow steps

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

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 (its code samples are bibtex).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • proceedings.mlr.press

    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

Corl Related Work loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 735 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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.

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 CoRL paper against the literature — the robot-learning lineage across CoRL/RSS/ICRA, the ML-methods stream from NeurIPS/ICLR/ICML, the fast-moving VLA and foundation-model wave, classical robotics baselines, concurrent arXiv work, and PMLR citation hygiene including the year-offset trap.

Robot learning is a confluence field: any given CoRL paper inherits from at least three literatures moving at different speeds. Reviewers here are typically expert in one lane and conversant in the rest — so a related-work section that covers only the authors' home lane reads as blinkered to a third of the pool.

The three lanes, plus two overlays

LaneWhat reviewers checkTypical miss
Robot-learning lineage (CoRL, RSS, ICRA/IROS learning papers)Do you know the last 2–3 years of the task family you claim?Citing only your lab's chain of prior work
ML methods (NeurIPS/ICLR/ICML)Is the algorithmic idea actually new, or a known method re-embodied?Renaming an established technique with a robotics word
Classical robotics (planning, control, estimation)Does a non-learning baseline solve your task? Why learn at all?Dismissing model-based methods without citation or comparison
Overlay: foundation-model / VLA wavePosition relative to the current generation of pretrained robot policiesComparing against a wave that is two generations stale
Overlay: concurrent arXivPreprint culture is aggressive here; overlap appears mid-reviewSilence on a widely known concurrent preprint

Practical breadth check: your citation list should contain entries from at least two recent CoRL volumes, at least one ML venue, and at least one classical robotics source — or an explicit reason why a lane is genuinely empty.

Handling velocity: the field moves during your review

Between the late-May CoRL deadline and September decisions, the arXiv state of your subfield will change. Norms to apply:

  • Work that appeared publicly after your submission cannot be held against your novelty; if a reviewer raises it, note the dates factually in the rebuttal and offer a comparison in revision if it is genuinely relevant.
  • Work that was on arXiv well before the deadline is fair game even without a venue stamp — this community treats known preprints as citable context. Sweep arXiv thoroughly in deadline month; "it wasn't published yet" does not excuse missing a preprint your reviewers all saw on social media.
  • For close concurrent work, add a labeled paragraph ("Concurrent work") that differentiates on approach and evidence rather than priority claims.

Positioning moves that work at this venue

  • Differentiate on evidence regime, not just method. "Prior work demonstrates X in simulation; we provide the first real-robot evaluation with a measured transfer gap" is a legitimate and well-received axis here.
  • Name the assumption you remove. "Existing approaches assume known object poses; we operate from raw RGB" — a robotics-meaningful delta beats an architecture tweak in this pool's eyes.
  • Give the task-family history one honest sentence of state-of-the-art, including the best non-learning result. Erasing the classical solution to make the learning look necessary is a detectable and damaging move.
  • Baselines follow citations: any method you describe as closest related work should appear in your tables, or the text should say why it cannot (corl-experiments covers fairness mechanics).

PMLR citation hygiene — including the year-offset trap

CoRL proceedings publish through PMLR, and two mechanical errors recur:

  1. The year offset. PMLR volumes sometimes carry a publication year after the conference year — e.g., the CoRL 2021 best paper (Chen et al., in-hand re-orientation) is PMLR v164, 2022, and SayCan from CoRL 2022 appears with 2023 pagination metadata. Cite the conference edition in prose ("at CoRL 2021") even when the BibTeX year says otherwise, and keep the pair consistent across your references.
  2. Venue misattribution. Neighboring PMLR volumes belong to different conferences; copying a BibTeX entry from a random site routinely mislabels a CoRL paper as appearing at another venue or vice versa. Resolve every robot learning citation against the volume index (v205 = CoRL 2022, v229 = 2023, v270 = 2024, v305 = 2025).
bibtex
@inproceedings{chen2022inhand,
  title     = {A System for General In-Hand Object Re-Orientation},
  author    = {Chen, Tao and Xu, Jie and Agrawal, Pulkit},
  booktitle = {Proceedings of the 5th Conference on Robot Learning (CoRL 2021)},
  series    = {Proceedings of Machine Learning Research},
  volume    = {164},
  pages     = {297--307},
  year      = {2022},   % PMLR publication year != conference year — keep both visible
  publisher = {PMLR}
}

Prefer arXiv-to-PMLR upgrade passes before camera-ready: many robot-learning papers you cited as preprints during writing will have acquired proceedings entries by October.

Double-anonymous self-citation

  • Cite your own prior work in the third person, exactly as you would a stranger's; the giveaway is not the citation but the possessive framing ("building on our platform [12]").
  • If the paper visibly extends a system with a recognizable name, do not amputate the citation — anonymity through omission breaks the scholarly record; third-person distance is the sanctioned tool.
  • Watch transitive leaks: citing an unreleased internal report, a thesis, or a dataset only your lab could hold identifies you as surely as a name.

Section-audit checklist

text
[ ] All three lanes represented (or absence argued), plus VLA-wave currency
[ ] ≥2 recent CoRL volumes cited within the claimed task family
[ ] Best classical/non-learning approach acknowledged, compared or excused
[ ] Concurrent-work paragraph drafted if a known preprint is close
[ ] Every "closest work" citation appears in the experiments, or is excused
[ ] PMLR volume/year pairs verified against volume indexes; no misattribution
[ ] Self-citations third-person; no possessive framing; no transitive leaks
