Edbt Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a data-management project belongs at EDBT or should be routed to SIGMOD, VLDB/PVLDB, ICDE, the co-located ICDT theory venue, or a database journal, and when choosing the EDBT paper shape (Regular / Experiments-&-Analysis / Vision) and the nearest submission cycle.
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.
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.
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.
Edbt Topic Selection loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 660 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/edbt-topic-selection/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Decide the venue and the paper shape before drafting. EDBT — the International Conference on Extending Database Technology — is the European database-systems flagship, held jointly with ICDT (its theory sibling) and published open access on OpenProceedings.org. Its reviewers read for a contribution that extends real database technology: systems, applied data management, and experiments-and-analysis work. A paper whose true center is a complexity result, a pure-ML model, or a US-flagship-scale systems marathon may be respected and then rerouted.
EDBT overlaps heavily with SIGMOD, VLDB, and ICDE in scope and reviewer pool, so the decisive question is rarely "is this databases?" but "which database community, publication model, and cycle fits this paper now?" Two EDBT-specific pulls tilt the answer:
| Signal in your project | Better home | Why |
|---|---|---|
| A contribution that extends database technology — systems, applied data management, experiments — ready now, EDBT cycle nearest | EDBT | European DB-systems flagship; OpenProceedings open access; rolling cycles |
| A flagship-scale systems result you want in the ACM DB community's marquee venue | SIGMOD | US flagship, ACM DL; different cycle and template |
| A polished journal-style systems paper aiming at the PVLDB monthly pipeline | VLDB / PVLDB | Journal-style monthly deadlines; different review model |
| A broad data-engineering contribution wanting the IEEE venue and stage | ICDE | IEEE DL; sibling flagship, different calendar |
| The heart is a complexity, query-language, or dependency-theory result | ICDT | EDBT's co-located theory sibling — theory belongs there, not in EDBT |
| Too long or too deep for the page budget, or a survey | VLDBJ / TODS / TKDE | Journals with no conference page ceiling |
Because EDBT and ICDT share a conference and a proceedings platform, the sharpest routing mistake is sending a theory paper to EDBT (or an unbuilt systems idea to ICDT):
[Scope] scan the last two EDBT programs (dblp, OpenProceedings) for your subarea
-> 3+ recent papers = a reviewer pool exists; 0 = opening or mismatch
[Boundary] is the core a theorem (-> ICDT) or a built/measured system-or-study (-> EDBT)?
[Citations] is your bibliography majority DB venues (SIGMOD/VLDB/ICDE/EDBT/ICDT)?
-> majority non-DB => reviewers read you as a visitor; naturalize the intro first
[Calendar] compare the next EDBT cycle with SIGMOD/PVLDB/ICDE dates -> route to the nearest
honest fit rather than idling[Audience] who acts differently if the claim holds? -> DB systems builders / practitioners / researchers?
[Claim type] system / scalable algorithm / experiments-&-analysis / applied experience / vision / theory
[Theory check] is the heart a theorem? -> route to ICDT
[EDBT vs US flagship] all fit? -> choose by open-access preference, cycle proximity, community pull
[Shape] Regular / Experiments-&-Analysis / Vision, matched to the contribution
[Verdict] EDBT (which shape, which cycle) / sibling venue / journal, with a one-line reasonRun this before the writing skills; a wrong venue or shape decision wastes every later step. When
the verdict is EDBT, continue with edbt-workflow for the cycle calendar and edbt-writing-style
for the paper shape.
