Icdt Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a database-theory project belongs at ICDT (International Conference on Database Theory) or should be routed to PODS, the co-located EDBT systems track, a pure-TCS venue (LICS, ICALP, STACS), or a journal (ACM TODS, LMCS, TheoretiCS), and when distinguishing ICDT from its sibling database-theory flagship PODS by calendar, publisher, and community.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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.
Icdt Topic Selection loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 645 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/icdt-topic-selection/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Decide the venue before drafting. ICDT — the International Conference on Database Theory — is the European foundations-of-data-management venue, held jointly with EDBT and published open access in LIPIcs. Its referees read for a precise theorem with a clear consequence for data management: query languages, the complexity of query evaluation, finite model theory over databases, consistent query answering, provenance, and the theory of data integration. A technically strong paper whose real content is generic complexity theory, pure logic, or a systems benchmark is respected and then rejected as out of scope.
ICDT and PODS are the two database-theory flagships and overlap almost completely in scope, so the decisive question is rarely "is this database theory?" but "which of the two theory venues, and which calendar and publisher, fits this paper now?" Both want a real theorem with a data-management payoff. Use the finer signals below and the live deadlines to choose.
| Signal in your project | Better home | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Foundational data-management theorem; you want European co-location and the next ICDT cycle is nearer | ICDT | Two-cycle LIPIcs venue with a Cycle-1 revision option; co-located with EDBT |
| Same kind of theorem, but PODS's single annual cycle lands better or you want the SIGMOD stage | PODS | The other database-theory flagship; ACM PACMMOD, co-located with SIGMOD |
| The contribution is a system, an algorithm with an experimental evaluation, or a benchmark | EDBT (co-located) or a systems venue | Experimental data management, not a theorem — the reproducibility track lives here |
| The core is generic finite model theory / logic with no data-management consequence | LICS / ICALP / STACS | EATCS/logic venues reward the theory itself; ICDT wants the querying/constraints payoff |
| The result is too long, or wants a full journal treatment with all proofs | ACM TODS / LMCS / TheoretiCS | Journals with no page ceiling; some are the natural home for the extended version |
| A neat connection between database theory and a neighboring field, short | ICDT "Database Theory in Action" | The 4-page non-anonymous track for bridging results and applications |
An idea sits at different doors depending on how finished the proof is. A conjecture with partial evidence is a workshop or "in action" contribution, not a regular ICDT paper; a theorem with a gap you can close belongs in Cycle 1 where the revision option exists; a fully worked, book-length treatment belongs in a journal. Submitting a one-sided bound when the field expects a matching one costs a cycle.
[Scope] scan the last two ICDT and PODS programs (dblp, databasetheory.org) for your subarea
-> present at both = pick by calendar; present at neither = mismatch or a new opening
[Citations] is your bibliography majority ICDT/PODS/LICS/TODS/LMCS?
-> majority systems venues => you may actually have an EDBT/SIGMOD paper
[Calendar] compare the next ICDT cycle deadline with the PODS deadline and journal timelines
-> route to the nearest honest fit; ICDT's two cycles give you two shots a year[Consequence] who in data management cares if the theorem holds? -> real payoff or decorative?
[Claim type] expressiveness / complexity / decidability / semantics / framework
[ICDT vs PODS] both fit? -> choose by calendar, open-access LIPIcs vs PACMMOD, community pull
[Sibling check] systems+experiments -> EDBT; pure logic -> LICS/ICALP; over-long -> journal
[Verdict] ICDT regular track / PODS / EDBT / TCS venue / journal, with a one-line reasonRun this before the writing skills; a wrong venue decision wastes every later step. When the verdict
is ICDT, continue with icdt-workflow for the two-cycle calendar and icdt-writing-style for the
theorem-proof shape.
