What it does

Webconf Related Work is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when positioning a Web Conference (WWW) submission against prior literature — tracing lineage through three decades of WWW proceedings, contrasting with the WSDM/CIKM/SIGIR/KDD sibling circuit, handling the venue's preprint-non-citation rule, and budgeting references against the shared 12-page PDF tail.

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 Research & Science, covering Literature review, Academic paper search and Budgeting and forecasting. 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 a Web Conference (WWW) submission against prior literature — tracing lineage through three decades of WWW proceedings
  • Contrasting with the WSDM/CIKM/SIGIR/KDD sibling circuit
  • Handling the venues preprint-non-citation rule

Example prompts

  • “/webconf-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

Webconf Related Work loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 837 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

description
Use when positioning a Web Conference (WWW) submission against prior literature — tracing lineage through three decades of WWW proceedings, contrasting with the WSDM/CIKM/SIGIR/KDD sibling circuit, handling the venue's preprint-non-citation rule, and budgeting references against the shared 12-page PDF tail.

Related work at this venue does two jobs the generic version skips: it proves the paper knows its WWW lineage (the series runs to 1994, and many web problems have decade-old ancestors reviewers personally remember), and it draws the line against the sibling circuit — WSDM, CIKM, SIGIR, KDD, ICWSM, WebSci — whose reviewer pools overlap heavily with the track panels judging you.

Lineage first, novelty second

Web research recycles its problems as the platform layer changes: link spam → social spam → LLM-generated content; PageRank-era graph analysis → network embeddings → graph neural networks; forum mining → microblog mining → short-video mining. A strong related-work section names the lineage explicitly and locates the contribution at the newest turn:

text
Weak:   "Graph embedding has been widely studied [3,7,12,19]."
Strong: "Web-graph representation moved from link-analysis scores through
         embedding objectives (LINE, WWW 2015) to message-passing models
         (HAN, WWW 2019); all assume a static snapshot. Our setting -- edges
         arriving from a live crawl -- breaks that assumption because ..."

The pattern: two or three named waypoints with venues and years, then the assumption every waypoint shares, then why your setting breaks it. One paragraph of this outperforms twenty grouped citations.

The sibling-circuit contrast table

Reviewers here habitually ask "why is this not a WSDM/SIGIR/KDD paper?" Answer inside related work by contrasting evidence norms, not prestige:

NeighborIts center of gravityYour contrast sentence should say
WSDMWeb search & mining methods, offline rigorwhat your paper adds beyond the method: platform mechanism, measurement, or system
SIGIRRetrieval effectiveness & evaluationwhy the web setting (adversaries, freshness, heterogeneity) changes the retrieval problem
KDDMining methods & deployed data sciencewhat is web-structural rather than generic-tabular/graph
CIKMBroad IR/DB/KM methodsthe sharper web claim that the broad venue wouldn't demand
ICWSMSocial-media measurementyour computational/methodological delta beyond measurement
WebSciInterdisciplinary web studiesyour technical contribution beyond the socio-technical finding

Cite the nearest paper from each relevant neighbor when one exists; its authors may well be your reviewers, and omitting them reads as either ignorance or evasion.

Venue-attribution hygiene

Misattributing a classic to the wrong venue is a credibility wound with expert panels. Traps specific to this literature: the PageRank algorithm report is a Stanford technical report while the search-engine paper (Brin & Page) appeared at WWW7 1998 in a journal-published proceedings; several "web" classics actually live at KDD or SIGIR; and the series' own name changed (WWW → The Web Conference, 2018; ACM Web Conference era from 2022) so citation styles vary across decades. Verify every load-bearing citation against dblp or the ACM DL — this pack's resources/exemplars/library.md records five verified WWW papers safe to cite as lineage waypoints.

The preprint rule shapes citation practice

Two verified 2026 rules interact here: submissions must be original (nothing under review or published elsewhere), and your own anonymized preprint may exist on arXiv/SSRN but the submission must not cite it. For third-party preprints, cite them when they are the real prior art — with arXiv IDs and honest framing as non-archival — but do not treat an uncited arXiv posting as license to claim novelty over it; track reviewers in fast-moving areas (retrieval-augmented AI especially) read arXiv daily. Concurrent work merits a labeled paragraph: "Concurrent and independent: [X] (arXiv, Sep 2025) addresses ...; we differ in ..."

Budgeting against the shared tail

References and appendix split the same 4-page PDF tail (12 total minus 8 main). Reference-list discipline is therefore a space decision: cite the survey plus the directly-contrasted papers rather than every member of a lineage; drop redundant multi-citations ("[3,7,12,19]" where only [12] is discussed); prefer one recent strong baseline citation over three historical weak ones. A typical healthy budget here is 1.5-2 pages of references, preserving 2+ pages of appendix.

A two-pass drafting workflow

Pass 1, coverage (weeks before the deadline): harvest candidates from the last two proceedings of WWW plus the relevant sibling venue, the track's likely reviewer bibliographies, and the citation graphs of your three closest papers. Verify each candidate's venue on dblp at harvest time — batching verification for later is how misattributions survive into the submission. Pass 2, argument (with the draft stable): delete every citation the text does not discuss, write the lineage paragraph and the sibling-contrast sentences, and re-run a final search two weeks before the deadline for the fast-moving tracks — a September arXiv posting in retrieval-augmented AI can become the rebuttal's central objection if the October submission ignores it.

Ordering heuristic inside the section: lineage first (establishes you belong), nearest neighbors second (establishes the delta), adjacent-discipline anchors last (establishes construct credibility for the mixed panel). The common inverse — starting with a broad sociology-of-the-web sweep — spends the section's best real estate before reaching the papers reviewers will actually compare you to.

Pre-submission checklist

  • Lineage paragraph with named, venue-attributed waypoints and the shared assumption your setting breaks.
  • One contrast sentence per relevant sibling venue; nearest-neighbor papers from the current and previous cycle cited.
  • Every classic verified against dblp/ACM DL; no venue misattributions.
  • Own preprint uncited; concurrent work labeled; no novelty claims over papers the section pretends not to know.
  • Reference pages counted against the appendix budget.

A final self-test: hand the section to a co-author and ask which two papers a reviewer would demand comparison against. If their answer names a paper the section does not cite, the coverage pass failed regardless of how many references it holds.
