Icra Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a robotics project belongs at ICRA, choosing between a direct ICRA submission and the RA-L journal route with conference presentation, or re-routing to IROS, RSS, CoRL, T-RO, HRI, or CASE based on contribution type, evidence shape, and the embodiment test.
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.
5 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.
Icra Topic Selection loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 793 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/icra-topic-selection/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Route a robotics project before any formatting work begins. ICRA — the IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, the flagship conference of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society (RAS) — is the broadest and largest robotics deadline of the year, but "broad" does not mean "anything with a robot picture." This skill runs two decisions in order: (1) is the contribution ICRA-shaped at all, and (2) if yes, should it travel as a direct conference paper or as an RA-L journal paper carrying a conference-presentation option.
Ask what breaks if the physical robot is deleted from the paper.
icra-experiments before
committing.| Contribution type | ICRA fit | Stronger alternative to weigh |
|---|---|---|
| New manipulation / locomotion / navigation algorithm with hardware trials | Core | RSS if the algorithmic idea is the star |
| Integrated robot system solving a hard task end to end | Core | IROS, field-robotics journals |
| Robot-learning method, sim-heavy, some real transfer | Good | CoRL if learning is the entire story |
| Control / estimation theory with robot validation | Good | T-RO or RA-L for longer proofs |
| Dataset or benchmark for robot tasks | Good | RA-L, IJRR for archival datasets |
| Human-robot interaction with a user study | Possible | HRI conference for study-centric work |
| Factory / logistics automation, scheduling | Possible | CASE, T-ASE |
| Perception with no downstream robot task | Weak | CVPR/ICCV, then a robotics follow-up |
| Pure RL / optimization theory, no embodiment | Weak | NeurIPS, ICML, L4DC |
The RAS ecosystem offers two distinct roads to an ICRA podium, and choosing between them is a real strategic decision, not a formality:
Decide with these levers:
Q1 Embodiment: does deleting the robot delete the contribution?
no -> route to the parent field's venue; stop.
Q2 Maturity: results solid by early September?
no -> RA-L (rolling) or next IROS deadline (typically March).
Q3 One clean contribution statable in 6 pages?
no -> T-RO / IJRR long-form, or split the project.
Q4 Is the star the algorithmic idea (RSS), the learning method (CoRL),
the user study (HRI), or the factory floor (CASE)?
yes -> weigh that sibling before defaulting to ICRA.
Q5 Otherwise -> direct ICRA; record why in one sentence for the intro.Not every result deserves — or needs — the full-paper gauntlet. The ICRA weeks also host workshops with their own paper calls, late-breaking/abstract-style contributions, competitions, and demo slots, each with separate winter/spring deadlines and lighter (often non-archival) review. Correct uses:
Check archival status per call: some workshop papers preclude later "new" submission of the same content, most do not — read the specific call's wording.

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Icra 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.
Icra 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.
