What it does

Sigcomm Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning an ACM SIGCOMM submission against the networking literature — sweeping SIGCOMM, NSDI, MobiCom, CoNEXT, IMC, and SIGMETRICS plus journals, proving each placement via dblp and the ACM Digital Library, distinguishing main-track papers from CCR editorials, handling concurrent work, and keeping self-citation double-blind-safe.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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, Citation management and Positioning and messaging. 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 an ACM SIGCOMM submission against the networking literature — sweeping SIGCOMM
  • SIGMETRICS plus journals
  • Proving each placement via dblp and the ACM Digital Library
  • Distinguishing main-track papers from CCR editorials

Example prompts

  • “/sigcomm-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

Sigcomm Related Work loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 423 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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 SIGCOMM submission against the networking literature — sweeping SIGCOMM, NSDI, MobiCom, CoNEXT, IMC, and SIGMETRICS plus journals, proving each placement via dblp and the ACM Digital Library, distinguishing main-track papers from CCR editorials, handling concurrent work, and keeping self-citation double-blind-safe.

Use this to audit novelty and placement. SIGCOMM is the broad networking flagship, so a paper is read against the strongest prior work in its exact subarea — and against results scattered across sibling venues. Reopen the current CFP for concurrent-submission and anonymity rules before advising.

Positioning checks

  • Separate the mechanism you contribute from engineering polish: a new protocol, transport signal, forwarding architecture, measurement-driven design, or programmable-data-plane technique.
  • Sweep the whole networking literature, not just SIGCOMM: the nearest prior work may sit in NSDI, MobiCom, CoNEXT, IMC, SIGMETRICS, INFOCOM, or a journal like IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. A bibliography that cites only SIGCOMM signals a narrow read.
  • Prove each placement. Verify the venue and year on dblp and the ACM DL before you assert it; do not rely on memory for where a famous result appeared.
  • Distinguish main-track proceedings from CCR editorial notes — OpenFlow's famous CCR note is not a SIGCOMM conference paper, and citing it as one is a checkable error.
  • Handle concurrent and prior versions honestly, and keep every self-citation phrased so double-blind review survives.

Venue-coverage table

Literature laneTypical venuesWhat SIGCOMM reviewers check
Networking design flagshipsSIGCOMM, NSDI, CoNEXTWhether the nearest deployed mechanism is compared or distinguished
Wireless / mobileMobiCom, SIGMOBILE venuesWhether relevant PHY/mobility work is acknowledged when adjacent
MeasurementIMCWhether the motivating measurement rests on the right prior characterizations
Performance analysisSIGMETRICSWhether known models/bounds are credited
Archival journalsIEEE/ACM ToN, JSACWhether classical results are not being rediscovered

A missing state-of-the-art comparison from the right venue is a recognizable SIGCOMM reject pattern that benchmark strength alone does not repair.

The misattribution guard

text
Before citing "X appeared at SIGCOMM YYYY":
  1. Find it on dblp.org/db/conf/sigcomm/  -> confirm the edition and page range
  2. Confirm ACM DL lists it in the SIGCOMM conference proceedings, not CCR editorial
  3. Rule out the sibling: Hedera is NSDI, RED is ToN, BBR is CACM
  4. If unresolved -> mark 待核实 and do not assert the venue

Positioning vignette

A paper proposes a data-center transport that schedules flows in the fabric. Its nearest neighbors: an earlier SIGCOMM congestion-signal paper (DCTCP), a fabric-scheduling paper in the same lineage (pFabric), and an NSDI flow-scheduling system that is often confused with it. The novelty sentence should name all three contrasts — a different signal than the first, a different scheduling granularity than the second, and a design rather than the deployed-system framing of the NSDI neighbor — with each venue verified.

Concurrent-work judgment calls

  • Independently concurrent work at another venue: cite neutrally, state the technical difference, and avoid priority claims reviewers cannot verify under blinding.
  • Your own prior workshop or preprint version: cite in a blind-safe third person and confirm the current CFP's stance on overlap before relying on it.
  • When a venue's archival status is unclear, declare the overlap in the submission rather than gambling on a chair's reading.
