What it does

Eacl Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a project is EACL-shaped or better routed to ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, AACL, TACL, Computational Linguistics, LREC-COLING, COLM, or an ML venue, covering the long-versus-short choice, the accept-Findings calculus, and how EACL's single ARR cycle and irregular cadence affect the routing decision.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 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.

When your agent uses it

  • Deciding whether a project is EACL-shaped
  • Better routed to ACL
  • Computational Linguistics
  • Covering the long-versus-short choice

Example prompts

  • “/eacl-topic-selection”

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

Eacl Topic Selection loads about 896 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 345 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~896

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 deciding whether a project is EACL-shaped or better routed to ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, AACL, TACL, Computational Linguistics, LREC-COLING, COLM, or an ML venue, covering the long-versus-short choice, the accept-Findings calculus, and how EACL's single ARR cycle and irregular cadence affect the routing decision.

EACL Topic Selection

Use this before committing effort to route a project to the right venue. EACL is the ACL's European Chapter meeting — all of CL/NLP is in scope, with a community and location that make it a natural home for multilingual and lower-resourced-language work — but "could go to EACL" and "is best at EACL" are different questions. Decide by fit, timing, and the alternatives.

Is it EACL-shaped?

Strong EACL fits share a profile:

  • A well-scoped NLP question answered with careful, often multilingual, controls.
  • Analysis, critique, resources, or evaluation-integrity contributions are welcome, not only new systems — EACL best papers routinely go to these (see ../../resources/exemplars/library.md).
  • Work on European and neighbouring-region languages or lower-resourced settings has a receptive audience, though topical scope is not region-restricted.

Language-model-centric contributionCOLM
Core-ML method with NLP as one applicationan ML venue (NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR)

Timing dominates the decision for EACL

  • EACL draws from a single ARR cycle with no fallback (August 2026 for EACL 2027) and runs on an irregular cadence. So routing is not only about fit: if the one cycle does not fit your timeline, a sibling venue with a nearer cycle may be the rational choice even for an EACL-shaped paper.
  • Conversely, if the cycle fits and the paper is EACL-shaped, the early-spring slot gets your result out ahead of the summer/autumn venues.

Long vs short

text
Choose short (4 pages) when:
  - one clean claim with decisive evidence
  - a focused analysis, resource, or negative result
Choose long (8 pages) when:
  - multiple contributions or a method needing full development
  - breadth (many languages/tasks) is itself the argument
A short idea padded to long reads as thin; a long idea cut to short reads as incomplete.

The accept-Findings calculus

  • Findings of ACL: EACL is archival and Anthology-published. Accept it when the work is solid but not top-tier for the main track and you value a timely, citable record; push for main or re-route when main-conference visibility is essential and the reviews support it.
  • Because there is no next EACL cycle to retry, weigh a Findings offer against the real alternative (a different conference months later), not against an imaginary next EACL round.
