Usenixsec Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning a USENIX Security Symposium paper against prior work — covering the Big-Four security venues plus specialty conferences, handling concurrent submissions across the multi-cycle calendar, citing your own work double-blind, and using USENIX's open-access proceedings for verification.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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. 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.
3 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 (its code samples are bibtex).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
usenix.orgFrom 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.
Usenixsec Related Work loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 648 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/usenixsec-related-work/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Related work at USENIX Security is an adversarial exercise: the committee contains people who wrote the nearest prior papers, and the multi-cycle Big-Four calendar means the nearest prior paper may be four months old. This skill covers coverage, differentiation, and the venue's citation mechanics.
| Lane | Where it lives | The question your text must answer |
|---|---|---|
| Big-Four security | USENIX Security, IEEE S&P, ACM CCS, NDSS | Same problem, same class of technique — what's new here? |
| Specialty security | PETS, SOUPS, RAID, ACSAC, WOOT, DIMVA, ESORICS | Did the niche community already do this at smaller scale? |
| Adjacent systems/ML | OSDI/SOSP, SIGCOMM/IMC, NeurIPS/ICML | Is the "security" contribution a re-badged systems or ML result? |
| Industry/offense track record | Black Hat/DEF CON talks, vendor blogs, CVE history | Do practitioners already know this? (Reviewers here often do) |
| Preprints and the cycle pipeline | arXiv, prior cycles' accepted-paper lists | What landed in the last 6–12 months that you must acknowledge? |
The fourth lane is distinctive: at this venue, an attack "known in the community" via a conference talk or advisory — even without an academic paper — weakens a novelty claim, and reviewers will cite the talk. Search offensive-industry sources, not just DBLP.
With USENIX Security itself, CCS, NDSS, and S&P all running multiple deadlines, the relevant literature refreshes roughly every quarter. Concretely:
Comparison tables of checkmarks read as advertising. The pattern that works here is mechanism-level: state what the prior system assumed or measured, then the delta. Three useful framings:
If the honest delta is "same idea, better engineering," consider whether the
contribution framing should change before the related-work section does (see
usenixsec-topic-selection).
Cite your own prior work in the third person as if written by strangers; the '26 CFP names first-person self-reference as an anonymity violation. When a paper builds so directly on your unpublished or just-published system that third person fails, the mitigation hierarchy is: cite an anonymized tech report in the artifact mirror; failing that, consult the chairs — never silently omit a paper reviewers will know exists, since a missing obvious citation both distorts positioning and fingerprints the authors.

Related work usually closes the body (≈1 page of the 13). Two exceptions worth making: an attack paper whose novelty hinges on a subtle difference from a known technique should differentiate early, in the introduction; SoK-style framing (if pursued at all — check the current CFP for whether the venue solicits it, 待核实) makes the literature the paper's subject rather than its perimeter.

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill usenixsec-related-work -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (USENIX-Security-Skills/skills/usenixsec-related-work in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .claude/skills/usenixsec-related-work in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Or copy the skill folder (USENIX-Security-Skills/skills/usenixsec-related-work in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .agents/skills/usenixsec-related-work in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
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 usenixsec-related-work -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others).

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Usenixsec Related Work is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md names 1 domain. In commands or code: usenix.org; the agent is likely to contact it when it follows the instructions. 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.
Usenixsec Related Work is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.4k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
