What it does

Osdi Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning an OSDI submission against prior systems literature — covering the OSDI/SOSP/NSDI/FAST/EuroSys/ATC lanes, verifying venues through USENIX's free open-access proceedings and dblp, and citing your own precursors without breaking the renamed-system anonymity rule.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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. It works with arXiv. 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 OSDI submission against prior systems literature — covering the OSDI/SOSP/NSDI/FAST/EuroSys/ATC lanes
  • Verifying venues through USENIXs free open-access proceedings and dblp
  • Citing your own precursors without breaking the renamed-system anonymity rule

Example prompts

  • “/osdi-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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

Osdi Related Work loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 794 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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 OSDI submission against prior systems literature — covering the OSDI/SOSP/NSDI/FAST/EuroSys/ATC lanes, verifying venues through USENIX's free open-access proceedings and dblp, and citing your own precursors without breaking the renamed-system anonymity rule.

Position the paper the way a systems PC checks it. The anonymity mechanics referenced here are OSDI '26 rules (verified 2026-07-08); the literature lanes are structural and change slowly, but the nearest-neighbor papers change every cycle.

An OSDI related-work section is not a survey; it is a difference ledger. For each neighboring system: what it does, what it cannot do that yours can, and why — at the mechanism level. Systems reviewers usually know the neighbors personally; they are not reading to learn the area but to test whether you know exactly where you sit.

The strongest form is one sentence of grouping plus one sentence of mechanism-level difference per group, with the difference tied to your design's named idea (see osdi-writing-style). "Unlike X, we are faster" is not a difference; "X orders its log cluster-wide, so its recovery scope is the cluster; ours is the tenant" is.

The six lanes to sweep

LaneWhere it livesWhat reviewers check
Direct competitorsRecent OSDI/SOSP programsIs the nearest published system compared head-on, in the evaluation and not only in prose?
The same problem, different layerNSDI (network object), FAST (storage stack), EuroSysDid you claim novelty for something solved one layer away?
The mechanism's ancestryClassic OSDI/SOSP/ATC papers, possibly decades oldIs the lineage acknowledged? Systems memory is long — leases, logs, and schedulers all have ancestors
Production/industry reportsOperational-track papers, company engineering literatureDoes deployed practice already do this quietly?
Concurrent workarXiv, the venue cycle immediately before yoursHandled generously — parallel invention is normal in a two-flagship annual cadence
Your own precursorsYour arXiv/tech reports/talksCited without deanonymizing (rules below)

USENIX open access is a verification tool

Every OSDI paper — and every NSDI, FAST, and (historical) ATC paper — is a free PDF on usenix.org, available to everyone from the day its event began. Consequences:

  • There is no excuse for citing a systems paper from its abstract. Download and check the claim you attribute; misdescribing a neighbor's mechanism is the fastest way to lose a reviewer who built it.
  • Venue attribution is checkable in seconds and must be exact. The systems canon scatters confusingly (GFS is SOSP, Raft is ATC, Firecracker is NSDI — see the trap list in ../../resources/exemplars/library.md); verify on dblp.org/db/conf/osdi/ before writing "at OSDI."
  • SOSP-side papers live in the ACM DL rather than usenix.org; verify those through dblp plus the SIGOPS pages.
bash
# Venue sanity pass over the bibliography (run before the anonymity sweep)
grep -nEi 'booktitle.*(OSDI|SOSP|NSDI|FAST|EuroSys|ATC|Annual Technical)' refs.bib |
  sort | uniq -c | sort -rn
# For each OSDI-attributed entry: confirm a conf/osdi/ dblp key exists.
# For each ATC entry dated 2026+: USENIX ATC ended after ATC '25 — recheck the
# actual venue (successor is stewarded by ACM SIGOPS).

Citing yourself under OSDI '26 anonymity

OSDI '26 allowed prior non-peer-reviewed exposure — arXiv, tech reports, talks, social media — but with a sharp condition: the submission must use an anonymized system name different from any used in those contexts. Operational rules:

  • Cite your precursor in the third person, as if it were someone else's system, under its public name; your submission's system carries its new name.
  • Never write "we extend our earlier work"; the sentence itself is the leak.
  • Sweep for indirect leaks: repository URLs in footnotes, trace names that appear only in your group's papers, acknowledgment stubs, \cite keys visible in comments.
  • Do not omit the precursor entirely if it is publicly findable — omission plus a renamed system reads worse in shepherding than a clean third-person citation.

Difference-ledger template

Draft the section as a ledger before writing prose; prose written first hides the gaps the ledger exposes:

text
related-work-ledger.md (one row per neighbor; groups become paragraphs)
neighbor        | venue+yr   | its mechanism        | why ours differs (mechanism level)   | in eval?
ReplayFS        | OSDI 'xx   | cluster-wide log     | recovery scope = cluster, ours = tenant | yes (fig 7)
CkptStore       | SOSP 'xx   | boundary checkpoints | moves the stall, doesn't bound it       | yes (fig 7)
LeaseKV         | NSDI 'xx   | per-key leases       | network object, no crash-adoption path  | prose only
<1990s ancestor>| SOSP '9x   | leases (original)    | we inherit; delta = epoch-bump adoption | n/a

Rules the ledger enforces: every row's difference is a mechanism, not an adjective; any row marked "prose only" whose mechanism competes head-on is an evaluation gap to fix or explicitly justify; and the ancestry row is mandatory — writing it is how era-blindness gets caught before a PC member catches it for you.

Failure patterns PCs flag

  • The missing obvious neighbor — the one paper everyone on the PC thinks of within ten seconds, absent from the ledger. Fatal in a no-rebuttal cycle: nobody can ask "did you know about X?", they just score.
  • Citation without comparison — the nearest system cited in Section 2 but absent from the evaluation table (osdi-experiments owns the fix).
  • Era-blindness — treating a 2020s reinvention as novel over a 1990s mechanism; OSDI PCs contain people who wrote the 1990s paper.
  • Wrong-venue attributions — individually small, collectively a credibility tax.

Neighbors that exist only on arXiv

Systems work increasingly surfaces as arXiv-only preprints months before any PC sees it. Handle by class: a preprint clearly targeting the same cycle is concurrent work — cite it, note the concurrency, and do not let reviewers discover it for you; an older unreviewed preprint with real adoption is engaged on its technical content (reviewers will know it); and an abandoned preprint may still claim the idea's name, in which case position by mechanism, not by name. In all three cases the citation is dated — arXiv versions move, and "vN, month year" pins what you actually compared against.
