What it does

Rss Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning an RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems) submission within the literature — covering the robotics-conference lanes (RSS/ICRA/IROS/CoRL) plus journals and ML venues, handling fast-moving arXiv concurrency in robot learning, keeping self-references double-blind, and turning related work into claim-sharpening contrasts.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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, Academic paper search and Positioning and messaging. 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

  • Handling fast-moving arXiv concurrency in robot learning
  • Keeping self-references double-blind
  • Turning related work into claim-sharpening contrasts

Example prompts

  • “/rss-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

Rss Related Work loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 629 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems) submission within the literature — covering the robotics-conference lanes (RSS/ICRA/IROS/CoRL) plus journals and ML venues, handling fast-moving arXiv concurrency in robot learning, keeping self-references double-blind, and turning related work into claim-sharpening contrasts.

Position the paper so its claim's novelty is checkable. At a selective single-track venue, related work is not a courtesy section — it is where the Area Chair verifies that the field genuinely lacks what the paper asserts.

The lanes an RSS reviewer expects covered

LaneWhere it livesThe question your coverage must answer
RSS's own lineroboticsproceedings.org (free) / dblpWhat did the last 2-3 editions say on this problem?
The IEEE siblingsICRA / IROS proceedingsIs this "known at the mega-conferences" already?
Robot learningCoRL, ML venuesIf learning-based: what does the CoRL line already show?
Journal depthT-RO, IJRR, AURODoes a journal version of this idea predate you?
Enabling fieldsvision/ML/control theory venuesIs the core mechanism imported? Say so and cite the source

The venue's own lane deserves priority: RSS proceedings are open-access, so "we couldn't access it" is never a defense, and reviewers often are the recent-edition authors under the anonymity veil.

Contrast, don't catalogue

Rewrite tour-style paragraphs into claim-anchored contrasts:

  • Weak: "Much work has studied cloth manipulation [3,7,12,19]."
  • Strong: "Prior bimanual systems couple contact timing with trajectory optimization [3,7]; we show decoupling them isolates the dominant failure source, which [3,7] cannot attribute."

One contrast sentence per nearest neighbor; the neighbor set is usually 3-5 papers, not 30. Everything else earns at most a grouped citation.

arXiv concurrency in a fast field

Robot learning moves preprint-first, so the January deadline lands amid unrefereed neighbors:

  • Cite visible preprints neutrally. A same-quarter arXiv paper with your idea is a fact reviewers will know; acknowledging it with a technical distinction beats hoping nobody noticed.
  • Do not claim priority races. "Concurrent work [x] differs in A and B" is verifiable; "we were first" is not.
  • Cutoff hygiene: state comparisons against the literature as of submission; the rebuttal (if invited) can acknowledge anything that landed after.

Double-blind self-citation

  • Cite your own prior papers in third person, exactly like a stranger's work.
  • The robotics-specific trap is the platform chain: citing the paper that built your exact rig, in a sentence that only makes sense if it is yours, de-anonymizes as surely as a name. Describe hardware provenance generically at submission and restore attribution at camera-ready.
  • Unpublished own work needed for the argument: include as anonymized supplement, not as a citation to a findable preprint.

Coverage protocol (an hour, well spent)

A repeatable sweep that catches the misses reviewers catch:

text
1. roboticsproceedings.org: open the last three volumes' tables of contents;
   keyword-scan titles (all free, no login).
2. dblp.org/db/conf/rss: confirm venue attribution for anything you plan to
   call "prior RSS work" — folklore misfiles ICRA papers as RSS constantly.
3. dblp author pages of your 3-5 nearest neighbors: find their newest
   follow-ups, including the IROS/CoRL versions of ideas you know from RSS.
4. arXiv: search your claim's key nouns filtered to the last 12 months;
   list hits in a concurrency ledger with a one-line distinction each.
5. Reverse pass: for each baseline you compare against, read who cites it
   *this year* — that citation neighborhood is your reviewer pool's memory.

Common positioning failures at this venue

FailureHow it reads to the AC
Only ML venues cited for a manipulation claimAuthors don't know the robotics line
The venue's own recent papers absentDidn't check the free proceedings
Nearest neighbor cited but never contrastedThe delta may not exist
"First to..." with a findable counterexampleCredibility damage spreads to the claims
60-reference tour, 3 contrastsCoverage substituting for positioning

Overlap declarations

  • Prior workshop or abstract versions of this work: verify the current CFP's stance and declare rather than gamble — workshop archival status varies.
  • Same-cycle submissions to sibling venues with shared content are the routing hazard of the packed robotics calendar (rss-workflow); resolve before, not after, the abstract deadline.

Vignette: positioning a contact-rich manipulation claim

A paper claims contact-timing decoupling explains bimanual failure rates. Its neighbor set after the protocol sweep: a recent RSS paper on bimanual planning (contrast: couples timing and motion, cannot attribute failures), an ICRA system with higher raw success on one garment class (contrast: no mechanism isolation, so the number and the claim answer different questions), a CoRL policy-learning line (contrast: learns timing implicitly; this paper measures it explicitly), and a T-RO stability analysis (contrast: quasi-static assumption excludes the regime studied here). Four contrasts, four sentences, and the novelty claim is now checkable by any reviewer who knows one of the four lanes.
