What it does

Sigmetrics Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning an ACM SIGMETRICS submission against the performance-evaluation literature across SIGMETRICS/POMACS, Performance Evaluation, QUESTA, TON, and the systems/learning/measurement neighbors (NSDI/OSDI, IMC, NeurIPS/ICML), writing delta-first contrast rather than a citation catalog, keeping self-citations double-anonymous, and handling concurrent and prior-version overlap.

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.

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 SIGMETRICS submission against the performance-evaluation literature across SIGMETRICS/POMACS
  • Performance Evaluation
  • The systems/learning/measurement neighbors (NSDI/OSDI
  • Writing delta-first contrast rather than a citation catalog

Example prompts

  • “/sigmetrics-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

Sigmetrics Related Work loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 104 tokens; SKILL.md has 491 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~104
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 SIGMETRICS submission against the performance-evaluation literature across SIGMETRICS/POMACS, Performance Evaluation, QUESTA, TON, and the systems/learning/measurement neighbors (NSDI/OSDI, IMC, NeurIPS/ICML), writing delta-first contrast rather than a citation catalog, keeping self-citations double-anonymous, and handling concurrent and prior-version overlap.

Use this to audit novelty and eligibility. SIGMETRICS reviewers are close to the performance-evaluation literature and expect to see where your paper sits relative to the nearest prior model, bound, or measurement — stated as a delta, not a list. Reopen the current call for the simultaneous-submission and prior-publication rules (a paper under one-shot revision counts as under submission) before advising authors.

Positioning checks

  • Separate the analytic/measurement novelty from the engineering effort. What is new: a tighter bound, a more general model, a policy that provably beats a known one, a measurement of a system nobody had characterized, or a learning algorithm with a new guarantee?
  • Cover the performance-evaluation lanes (see the table), not just the papers nearest your method. A bibliography missing the obvious queueing-theory predecessor or the prior measurement of the same system reads as unaware.
  • Write delta-first. Each closely related paper gets one sentence naming what it did and one naming what you do differently — a tighter bound, a weaker assumption, a broader policy class, a larger/newer measurement — not a summary.
  • Preserve double-anonymity. Cite your own prior work in the third person and never link reviewers to an identity-revealing preprint, system page, or repository (Operational Systems Track excepted).
  • Declare overlap with any prior conference/workshop version or concurrent submission; do not re-submit archival work as new.

Performance-evaluation literature lanes

LaneTypical venuesWhat SIGMETRICS reviewers check
Core performance evaluationSIGMETRICS/POMACS, Performance Evaluation, QUESTAWhether the nearest model/bound/measurement is compared or distinguished
Systems (when you claim a systems payoff)NSDI, OSDI, SIGCOMM, ATCWhether the system you improve/measure is credited and fairly baselined
MeasurementIMC, PAM, INFOCOMWhether prior measurements of the same system/workload are engaged
Learning (Learning track)NeurIPS, ICML, COLTWhether the learning-theoretic predecessor (regret bounds, algorithms) is cited to its origin
Networking/queueing journalsIEEE/ACM TON, QUESTA, Stochastic ModelsWhether deeper journal-length analyses of the model are engaged

A bibliography that cites only your own subarea tells a reviewer the delta may be smaller than claimed; one that reaches the neighboring theory, systems, and measurement venues signals command of the field.

Delta-first positioning vignette

Suppose the paper proves a tail-latency bound for a rank-based scheduler. Its nearest neighbors: a prior analysis of a single age-based policy (one policy, mean latency), a general scheduling framework (broad class, but no tail bound), and a measurement study of the target system (data, no policy analysis). The novelty sentence should name all three contrasts — a tail bound where the single-policy analysis gave only mean, a provable tail guarantee where the framework gave none, and a policy with analysis where the measurement gave only characterization.

Concurrent and prior-version judgment calls

text
[Concurrent arXiv work]   cite neutrally, state the technical difference (tighter bound? weaker
                          assumption? newer measurement?), avoid unverifiable priority claims;
                          keep the citation double-anonymous
[Your workshop version]   usually non-archival and citable, but confirm against the current call
                          wording and phrase so anonymity survives
[Prior short version]     declare the overlap and state what the full paper adds (proofs, validation)
[Paper under one-shot revision] it is under submission to SIGMETRICS -- do not submit it elsewhere
                          before withdrawing

Eligibility red flags

  • Substantial text/result overlap with a published paper by the same authors (self-plagiarism risk).
  • A "new" analysis that re-derives a known bound without a tighter result or weaker assumption.
  • Citations exclusively to non-performance-evaluation venues, signaling the paper may be a systems or learning paper rerouted without reframing.
