What it does
Pods Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning an ACM PODS submission against the database-theory literature across PODS, ICDT, LICS, and the journals (TODS, LMCS, JACM, VLDBJ), writing delta-first contrast that compares results rather than cataloging citations, keeping self-citations double-anonymous, and handling concurrent, arXiv-preprint, and prior-version overlap.
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 Academic paper search, Literature review and Citation management. 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.

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
Pods Related Work loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 506 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.
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 ACM PODS submission against the database-theory literature across PODS, ICDT, LICS, and the journals (TODS, LMCS, JACM, VLDBJ), writing delta-first contrast that compares results rather than cataloging citations, keeping self-citations double-anonymous, and handling concurrent, arXiv-preprint, and prior-version overlap.
PODS Related Work
Use this to audit novelty and eligibility. PODS reviewers are close to the database-theory literature and expect to see exactly where your result sits relative to the nearest prior result — a comparison of theorems, not a list of papers. Reopen the current PODS call for the resubmission, anonymity, and prior-publication rules before advising authors.
Positioning checks
- Separate the mathematical novelty from the effort. What is new: a bound that was open, a dichotomy that completes a partial classification, a semantics nobody had defined, a lower bound matching a known upper bound? Name the theorem-level delta.
- Cover the theory lanes. PODS reviewers expect the database-theory venues and the relevant logic/complexity literature, not only the papers nearest your technique (see the table). A bibliography missing the obvious prior classification reads as unaware.
- Write delta-first at the level of results. Each closely related paper gets one sentence naming what it proved and one naming how your result differs — a stronger bound, a broader class, a matching lower bound, a removed assumption. Compare theorems, do not summarize abstracts.
- Preserve lightweight double-anonymity. Cite your own prior work in the third person and never link reviewers to an identity-revealing arXiv preprint, homepage, or named system.
- Declare overlap with any prior conference/workshop version, an ICDT/journal version, or a concurrent submission; do not re-submit an already-published theorem as new.
Database-theory literature lanes
| Lane | Typical venues | What PODS reviewers check |
|---|---|---|
| Database theory (symposia) | PODS, ICDT | Whether the nearest prior bound/dichotomy/semantics is compared or subsumed |
| Logic & finite model theory | LICS, ICALP, CSL | Whether the logical tools and expressiveness results are credited to origin |
| Complexity (when a bound rests on it) | STOC, FOCS, CCC | Whether the complexity-theoretic assumption (ETH, OMv, #P) is stated correctly |
| Theory journals | TODS, LMCS, JACM, VLDBJ | Whether the full/journal treatment of a topic is engaged, not just the extended abstract |
| Systems DB (when relevant) | SIGMOD, VLDB, ICDE | Whether a practically motivated problem's systems context is acknowledged |
A bibliography that cites only your own thread of papers tells a reviewer the delta may be smaller than claimed; one that reaches ICDT, the logic venues, and the journal versions signals command of the field.

Delta-first positioning vignette
Suppose the paper proves a dichotomy for a query-evaluation problem. Its nearest neighbors: an earlier paper giving tractability for a sub-class (positive, but not a classification), a hardness result for one specific query (negative, but isolated), and a journal survey conjecturing the boundary. The novelty sentence should name all three contrasts — a complete classification where the first had only a sub-class, a general lower bound where the second had one query, and a proof where the survey had a conjecture.
Concurrent and prior-version judgment calls
[Concurrent arXiv work] cite neutrally, state the precise result-level difference, avoid
unverifiable priority claims; keep the citation double-anonymous
[Your ICDT/workshop ver] declare it; state what the PODS paper adds (a matching lower bound, the
general case, full proofs) beyond the earlier extended abstract
[Journal full version] if a journal version exists or is in submission, disclose it; PODS is an
extended abstract venue and overlap must be stated
[Archival status unclear] declare the overlap in the submission rather than guessing a chair's readingEligibility red flags
- Substantial overlap with a theorem already published by the same authors (self-plagiarism / double publication risk).
- A "new" result that re-proves a known bound with a cosmetic change of model and no new consequence.
- Citations exclusively to systems venues, signaling a paper that may be a systems result reframed without the theory a PODS reviewer expects.
Output format
