What it does
Popl Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a project is POPL-shaped — a principle about programming languages carried by definitions and theorems — or better aimed at PLDI's implementation bar, OOPSLA's breadth, ICFP's paradigm focus, or LICS, CAV, CPP, ESOP, and journal outlets, judged by what the decisive evidence is.
Its SKILL.md is about 970 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It works with C++. 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
- Deciding whether a project is POPL-shaped — a principle about programming languages carried by definitions and theorems —
- Better aimed at PLDIs implementation bar
- OOPSLAs breadth
- ICFPs paradigm focus
Example prompts
- “s implementation bar, OOPSLA”
- “/popl-topic-selection”
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- What sentence do you most want reviewers to believe? If it starts "we prove"
- Could a skeptic check the claim without running anything? POPL's decisive
- Does the idea outlive your artifact? POPL rewards machinery others can
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
Popl Topic Selection loads about 969 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 372 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.

POPL Topic Selection
POPL's full name is the routing test: Principles of Programming Languages. The venue's center of gravity is a general truth about languages — a semantics, a type discipline, a program logic, a proof technique — established by definition and theorem. Both theoretical and experimental papers are welcome under the posted scope, but an experimental POPL paper still orbits a principle. (Scope wording per the POPL series pages, read 2026-07-08.)
Three questions before committing
- What sentence do you most want reviewers to believe? If it starts "we prove" or "we give a semantics/logic/type system such that ..." — POPL. If it starts "our compiler/analyzer achieves ..." — PLDI. If it starts "developers using our language ..." — OOPSLA.
- Could a skeptic check the claim without running anything? POPL's decisive evidence is re-derivable: proofs, mechanizations, counterexample-freedom by construction. If the truth of your claim lives in measurements, route toward the implementation venues.
- Does the idea outlive your artifact? POPL rewards machinery others can instantiate on their languages. A theorem inseparable from one codebase is a tool paper wearing a theorem.

Routing table
| Project signature | Better venue | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| New program logic + soundness proof + small case studies | POPL | Principle first, evidence supporting |
| Compiler optimization with 1.4x speedups, proofs optional | PLDI | Benchmark-carried claim, implementor jury |
| Language design evaluated by user study or corpus mining | OOPSLA | Broader empirical evidence culture |
| Typed FP abstraction, elegant library, paradigm-native | ICFP | The functional-programming home crowd |
| Pure model/automata/logic result, thin language connection | LICS / CSL / FSCD | Logic-side siblings want it more |
| Decision procedure, model checker, solver improvement | CAV / TACAS | Verification-algorithm reviewers |
| Proof-engineering technique, assistant infrastructure | CPP / ITP | Mechanization-first audience (CPP co-locates with POPL) |
| Solid but regional-scale PL result, or needs journal length | ESOP / TOPLAS / JFP / LMCS | Right bar, right format |
All of POPL, PLDI, OOPSLA, and ICFP publish in PACMPL, so the archival venue is identical — choose by reviewer community and evidence shape, never by deadline proximity.
POPL-fit smells, both directions
- Good signs: the abstract states a theorem; the motivating example breaks an existing system's metatheory; reviewers from three different PL subareas would each recognize the machinery.
- Warning signs: the "formal" section restates the implementation in Greek letters; the theorem is routine and the contribution is engineering; the paper needs performance numbers to matter.
