Sensys Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a project belongs at SenSys after the 2026 merger absorbed IPSN and IoTDI — testing whether the contribution is a built, measured sensing/embedded/IoT/on-device-AI system rather than a pure algorithm, a mobile-networking mechanism, or an offline ML result, and routing misfits to MobiCom, MobiSys, or an ML/DSP venue.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
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.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Sensys Topic Selection loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 569 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.
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.

.claude/skills/sensys-topic-selection/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).SenSys accepts a system you built and measured under embedded constraints. The 2026 merger of SenSys, IPSN, and IoTDI widened the mandate — low-power networked sensing, embedded systems, IoT, and on-device AI now share one venue — but it did not soften the systems bar: a strong SenSys paper still has a buildable mechanism whose value is shown in energy, latency, memory, and deployment behavior on real hardware, not in a proof or a leaderboard delta.
Ask these in order; a "no" is a routing signal, not a verdict on the work's quality.
| If the core contribution is... | The likely home is... | Because |
|---|---|---|
| A built sensing system measured on real hardware for energy/latency/accuracy | SenSys | The merged venue's center of mass |
| Low-power networked sensing / mote-class protocols (formerly IPSN) | SenSys (post-merger) | IPSN's community joined SenSys in 2026 |
| IoT design/implementation, edge deployments (formerly IoTDI) | SenSys (post-merger) | IoTDI's community joined SenSys in 2026 |
| An on-device / TinyML model with measured footprint on an MCU | SenSys | Embedded-AI systems are in-scope after the merger |
| A wireless link, PHY/MAC, or over-the-air networking mechanism | MobiCom | The mechanism is the radio, not the sensing system |
| A mobile-platform / smartphone systems contribution | MobiSys | The platform, not embedded sensing under energy limits |
| A new estimator/algorithm with no embedded realization | an ML or DSP venue | The contribution is the math, not a built system |
| A datacenter/OS/networking systems result | NSDI / OSDI / SIGCOMM | Not sensing/embedded and not energy-bound |
The merger creates new adjacencies to reason about explicitly:
Fit self-check (answer before choosing SenSys):
[ ] There is a concrete built system/artifact, not only a method.
[ ] An embedded constraint (energy/memory/compute/power) shapes the design.
[ ] Headline numbers are measured on real hardware, not simulation-only.
[ ] Sensing or on-node computation — not the radio or the app platform — is central.
[ ] If on-device AI: the claim is measured footprint/latency, not offline accuracy.Some work genuinely spans SenSys and MobiCom (e.g. a sensing system that also innovates on its link). Route by where the reviewable novelty lives: if a reviewer would spend most of their judgment on the sensing/embedded system and its energy behavior, submit to SenSys and treat the link as engineering; if the defensible novelty is the wireless mechanism, submit to MobiCom. Pick one — a paper straddling both usually reads as under-contributing to each.
[Verdict] SenSys fit: strong / plausible / weak
[System] the concrete artifact that embodies the contribution
[Constraint] which embedded limit binds the design (energy/memory/compute/power)
[Evidence] hardware-measured? or simulation/offline (a re-route risk)
[Reroute] if weak — target venue + the one sentence that would move it
[Open] any post-merger boundary ambiguity to resolve before committing© brycewang-stanford, MIT. Rendered from Markdown: HTML in the file is shown as text, images as links, and headings moved down two levels. Raw file

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill sensys-topic-selection -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/sensys-topic-selection, .gemini/skills/sensys-topic-selection, .github/skills/sensys-topic-selection and .opencode/skills/sensys-topic-selection in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Sensys Topic Selection is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Sensys Topic Selection is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
