Mobisys Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a project belongs at MobiSys — testing whether the core contribution is a mobile or embedded system, application, or service whose on-device behavior is the result, and routing wireless, sensor-network, distributed-systems, ubicomp, or early-idea misfits to MobiCom, SenSys, NSDI/OSDI, IMWUT, or HotMobile.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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 Development, covering Embedded systems. 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.
4 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.
Mobisys Topic Selection loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 594 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/mobisys-topic-selection/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).MobiSys is the ACM SIGMOBILE venue for mobile systems, applications, and services — the system that runs on the device, not the radio underneath it. The fastest way to waste a year-long cycle is to submit a paper whose real contribution belongs one venue over. This skill is a fit and routing tool, not a substitute for the current CFP scope list.
A MobiSys-shaped paper answers all four:
mobisys-experiments).Route by contribution type, not prestige. The nearest siblings and what pulls a paper to each:
| Signal in the contribution | Better-fit venue |
|---|---|
| Wireless/PHY-MAC mechanism, protocol, or RF sensing as the core | ACM MobiCom |
| Sensor-network / embedded-sensing infrastructure at large | ACM SenSys |
| Data-center, cloud, or distributed-systems design and implementation | USENIX NSDI / OSDI |
| Operating-system generality beyond mobile | USENIX OSDI / ACM SOSP |
| Ubiquitous-computing / on-body inference as the finding | ACM IMWUT (UbiComp) |
| Security or privacy of mobile as the central claim | a security venue |
| Early idea without a full on-device evaluation | HotMobile or a workshop |
The MobiSys↔MobiCom line is the one authors get wrong most: a wireless mechanism is MobiCom; an end-to-end mobile system whose device behavior is the point is MobiSys. The MobiSys↔SenSys line is the second: a sensing infrastructure is SenSys; a mobile platform, app, or service built on sensing is MobiSys. When two are present, decide which is the contribution and which is the vehicle.
Name the contribution before choosing the venue:
[Contribution type] mobile runtime / OS-platform mechanism / on-device ML system /
sensing service / offload scheduler / mobile app-service / other
[Device dependence] does the result change if compute/energy/latency is idealized? y/n
[Evidence form] real-device measurement / deployment / user study / trace / simulation-only
[Primary audience] the MobiSys sub-community that should review itIf the type is "on-device ML system," MobiSys rewards a resource-management or runtime contribution (scheduling, approximation, placement, thermal control), not a better model — a new architecture with mobile motivation routes to a machine-learning venue. If it is "sensing service," the mobile system and its on-device budget must be the contribution, not just the sensor.
If the paper misses MobiSys's bar, do not force it into the December deadline — re-route by type and record why. A wireless mechanism goes to MobiCom, a sensing infrastructure to SenSys, a distributed-systems design to NSDI/OSDI, a ubicomp finding to IMWUT, an early idea to HotMobile. Because MobiSys runs one deadline a year, a misfit costs a full cycle, and the two-round review often surfaces it as an early reject after round 1 rather than a rescue — re-routing early is by far the cheaper move.
[Fit] High / Medium / Low (one-line reason in MobiSys's vocabulary)
[Contribution type] <named>
[Device dependence] result depends on compute/energy/latency/memory? y/n
[Evidence form] real-device / deployment / user study / trace / simulation-only
[Main gap] the single most important missing system mechanism or measurement

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Mobisys 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.
Mobisys 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 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
