Uai Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a project belongs at UAI, where uncertainty representation, probabilistic reasoning, graphical models, causal inference, or decision making under uncertainty must be the contribution itself, and when to route instead to AISTATS, NeurIPS, ICML, COLT, CLeaR, or a statistics journal before drafting begins.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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 Data & Analytics, covering Statistics and Econometrics and empirical research. 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.
Uai Topic Selection loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 893 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/uai-topic-selection/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Use this before writing a line. UAI — the AUAI's annual conference, running since the 1980s — is the venue where uncertainty is the subject, not the seasoning. The 2026 CFP invited novel theory, methodology, and applications spanning AI, machine learning, and statistics, but the reviewer pool and the accepted-paper record reward a specific shape: papers whose contribution is a probabilistic representation, an inference procedure, a causal identification result, or a decision rule under uncertainty.
If you deleted every probabilistic element from this paper, would anything remain?
| Project signal | UAI reading |
|---|---|
| New inference algorithm (MCMC, SMC, variational, belief propagation) with analysis | Home territory since the venue's founding |
| Identifiability or discovery result for causal or graphical structure | Core — UAI is a first-choice causality venue |
| Calibration, conformal, or coverage guarantee for predictive models | Strong fit; growing lane in recent volumes |
| Decision making / planning under uncertainty, Bayesian experimental design | Core, especially with formal treatment |
| Probabilistic programming semantics or inference | Distinctive UAI lane, rare elsewhere |
| Deep architecture, uncertainty used only as an evaluation metric | Re-route: NeurIPS / ICML / ICLR |
| General estimation theory, uncertainty incidental | Often better at AISTATS |
| Pure regret/sample-complexity theory, no probabilistic-modeling core | COLT or ALT |
| Causal ML with an applied-community audience | Compare CLeaR before defaulting to UAI |
| Journal-depth asymptotics needing 40 pages | JMLR or a statistics journal |
AISTATS and UAI are the commonly confused pair — both single-deadline, PMLR-published, statistics-adjacent, and of comparable scale. A working separation: AISTATS emphasizes the statistics–ML interface broadly (estimators, rates, high-dimensional methods); UAI concentrates on the representation and use of uncertainty itself — graphical models, causality, Bayesian reasoning, decisions. A debiased estimator with a convergence rate leans AISTATS; an identifiability theorem over MAGs leans UAI; a calibrated-prediction method with finite-sample coverage plays at either, so decide by which reviewer conversation helps the work more.
Timing is a legitimate tiebreaker between honest fits: UAI's cycle (submission ~February, decision ~June) interleaves with AISTATS (~October submission) and NeurIPS/ICML, and a paper genuinely at home in two venues may reasonably pick the calendar that meets it ready. Never let timing overrule fit — a misrouted paper burns a cycle anyway.
Three recurring hard calls, with the reasoning that resolves them:
If the verdict is "route elsewhere", the practical question becomes when. Approximate rhythm of the neighbors (always verify each venue's current dates):
Keep the re-route target written down before the UAI decision arrives; deciding while disappointed produces prestige-chasing, not fit-chasing.
