What it does

Pldi Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning a PLDI paper against the SIGPLAN family and systems neighbors — stating technical deltas per cited line, covering the last few PLDI/POPL/OOPSLA/ICFP cycles, citing PACMPL-era papers in journal form, and verifying every venue attribution on dblp before it ships.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 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. 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 a PLDI paper against the SIGPLAN family and systems neighbors — stating technical deltas per cited line
  • Covering the last few PLDI/POPL/OOPSLA/ICFP cycles
  • Citing PACMPL-era papers in journal form
  • Verifying every venue attribution on dblp before it ships

Example prompts

  • “/pldi-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 bibtex).

    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

Pldi Related Work loads about 947 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 391 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
~947

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 a PLDI paper against the SIGPLAN family and systems neighbors — stating technical deltas per cited line, covering the last few PLDI/POPL/OOPSLA/ICFP cycles, citing PACMPL-era papers in journal form, and verifying every venue attribution on dblp before it ships.

At PLDI, related work is an adversarial exercise: your reviewers are frequently the authors of your closest baselines. The section must therefore do two things — prove you know the landscape's mechanisms (not just its citations), and state, line by line, what this paper does that each prior technique cannot.

The delta discipline

Ban survey sentences ("Much work has studied pointer analysis [3,7,12,19]"). Every citation earns its place with a mechanism and a delta:

Steensgaard-style unification [7] scales linearly but merges all callees' effects; our signatures keep callee effects separate at equal asymptotic cost (§4.3).

If you cannot write the delta clause, you have not read the paper closely enough to cite it at PLDI — where the cited author may be reviewer B.

Coverage map

NeighborWhat to check thereTypical relationship to a PLDI paper
PLDI, last ~4 cyclesThe direct competition; reviewers expect these compared, not just citedBaseline or head-to-head
POPLThe semantic foundations your system builds on"We implement/scale what [x] formalized"
OOPSLALanguage design, empirical SE-flavored PL studiesAlternative evidence styles for similar claims
ICFPFunctional-language techniques, typed IRsTechnique transfer across paradigms
ASPLOS / CGO / PPoPPArchitecture-facing compilation and parallelismSame optimization, different evidence bar
CAV / TACASVerification engines and solversYour backend or your competitor's
ICSE / FSETesting and analysis at software-engineering scaleScale claims to compare honestly

Since POPL, OOPSLA, ICFP, and PLDI all publish in PACMPL, "recent PACMPL papers" is a single searchable stream — sweep it by issue name so a POPL 2025 article does not get labeled PLDI 2025 in your bibliography.

Cite the PACMPL era correctly

PLDI 2023 and later papers are journal articles, not proceedings entries:

bibtex
@article{gopinathan2023proofrepair,
  author  = {Gopinathan, Kiran and Keoliya, Mayank and Sergey, Ilya},
  title   = {Mostly Automated Proof Repair for Verified Libraries},
  journal = {Proc. ACM Program. Lang.},
  volume  = {7},
  number  = {PLDI},
  articleno = {107},
  year    = {2023},
  doi     = {10.1145/3591221}
}

Pre-2023 PLDI papers keep @inproceedings form with page ranges. Mixing the two conventions — or citing a PACMPL article as "In PLDI '23, pp. ..." — is the most common bibliography error since the switch, and PL reviewers notice.

Verification before submission

  • Confirm every venue attribution on dblp; the classics are the traps (LLVM is CGO 2004, CompCert's certification paper is POPL 2006, RustBelt is PACMPL Issue POPL — see resources/exemplars/library.md for the curated list).
  • For arXiv-only concurrent work, cite it as a preprint and position gently; it is context, not an archival obligation.
  • Double-blind interacts here: your own prior papers appear in third person, cited normally — omitting them is itself an identity signal.
