What it does

Ndss Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning an NDSS submission against prior literature — sweeping the security big four plus the specialist venues, writing precise deltas, verifying every citation against NDSS's open proceedings and dblp, and keeping self-reference double-blind.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Research & Science, covering Literature review and Citation management. 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

  • Positioning an NDSS submission against prior literature — sweeping the security big four plus the specialist venues
  • Writing precise deltas
  • Verifying every citation against NDSSs open proceedings and dblp
  • Keeping self-reference double-blind

Example prompts

  • “/ndss-related-work”

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

Ndss Related Work loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 537 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 positioning an NDSS submission against prior literature — sweeping the security big four plus the specialist venues, writing precise deltas, verifying every citation against NDSS's open proceedings and dblp, and keeping self-reference double-blind.

At NDSS the related-work section is a security argument: it establishes that the adversary, the precondition, or the defense you present is genuinely new at the layer you claim. The worked example in this pack turns on exactly that move — separating delegation-layer staleness from well-known record-layer takeover. Aim your section at the same standard: distinguish by mechanism, not by adjective.

Where NDSS reviewers expect you to have looked

TierVenues / sourcesWhat you owe them
FlagshipsNDSS, IEEE S&P, USENIX Security, CCS (last ~3-4 years)The nearest neighbors and your delta against each
SpecialistsPETS, IMC, ACSAC, RAID, EuroS&P, WOOTDepth in your sub-area; measurement lineage
Co-located ecosystemNDSS workshops (e.g., BAR, USEC, MADWeb — 2026 list verified)Early-stage versions of your idea often surface here first
Non-academic recordCVEs, vendor advisories, IETF drafts/RFCs, incident writeupsWhether practitioners already know your "novel" issue
PreprintsarXiv (cs.CR), IACR ePrintConcurrent work; cite, date, and differentiate

The non-academic tier is the one academic drafts skip and security reviewers do not: an attack already described in a vendor advisory or an RFC's security considerations is not novel because no PDF said it.

Writing the delta

A delta sentence names the prior work's mechanism, states yours, and locates the difference in adversary, layer, precondition, or guarantee:

  • Weak: "Unlike prior work, our approach is more practical."
  • Strong: "[X] detects dangling A/CNAME records from the registrant's side; our scanner operates provider-side at delegation-release time, which covers the zone-takeover case record-level hygiene cannot see."

One such sentence per genuine neighbor beats a paragraph of citation carpet. Group the rest by theme with one honest line each.

Verification discipline

NDSS's own proceedings are free — there is no paywall excuse for citing from memory.

text
For each citation:
  1. Resolve it: ndss-symposium.org proceedings page, dblp (conf/ndss,
     conf/uss, conf/sp, conf/ccs...), or DOI (NDSS uses 10.14722/NDSS.*).
  2. Confirm venue + year + author list against the resolved record —
     security classics are chronically misattributed across the big four
     (see the checked list in ../../resources/exemplars/library.md).
  3. Confirm the claim you attribute actually appears in the paper, not
     in its folklore.
  4. Cite the archival version over the preprint when both exist.

If a fetch is blocked (this pack's own source map documents 403s from ndss-symposium.org and dblp.org in some environments), verify through search renderings of the exact URL and note what could not be confirmed instead of guessing.

Double-blind self-citation

The 2027 CFP mandates anonymized submissions. For your own prior work:

  • Cite it in third person, exactly like a stranger's paper. Never "we extend our system".
  • If the overlap is so tight that third person is implausible, address the relationship in the text ("this work differs from [X] in ...") — reviewers may guess authorship, but the text must not confirm it.
  • Anonymize infrastructure fingerprints too: internal tool names, testbed hostnames, and dataset labels that only one lab could produce.

Handling concurrent work

The dual-cycle structure means near-identical ideas surface months apart. If a concurrent paper appears (arXiv, another venue's acceptance list) before your deadline: cite it, date both efforts, and write the technical difference plainly. Reviewers at this venue routinely review for the sibling conferences in the same season — assume they have seen the concurrent paper even if you had not.

Placement and length

Related work at NDSS commonly closes the paper (before conclusion) when the introduction already carries the sharp deltas, or follows the introduction when the field is crowded and positioning is the contribution's fulcrum. Either way it draws from the same 13-page budget: roughly one page, spent on differentiation rather than survey. A tutorial of the area belongs in background, and only if the design needs it.
