Webconf Topic Selection is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when deciding whether a project belongs at the Web Conference (WWW) at all, which of the ten research tracks should review it, whether the short-paper or Web4Good lane fits better, and when the work should instead route to WSDM, SIGIR, CIKM, KDD, ICWSM, WebSci, or an ML flagship.
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.
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.
2 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.
Webconf Topic Selection loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 751 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/webconf-topic-selection/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Two decisions, in order: is the work web-native, and which track's reviewer pool should judge it. Both are made by the authors, both are effectively irreversible at the deadline, and the second is as consequential as the first because the venue reviews inside tracks.
Ask: if the Web's specific structure disappeared, would this contribution still make sense? Web-native work depends on at least one of: open hypertext and link structure; platform mechanics and incentives; live, adversarial, user-generated content; web-scale heterogeneity; or the socio-technical coupling of users and algorithms. A generic model that merely evaluates on a web dataset fails the test — the dataset is swappable, so an ML venue's pool serves it better.
Web-native? -> route
Contribution needs link/platform/user -> Web Conference candidate; go to
structure to exist Decision 2
Contribution is a general method; web -> NeurIPS/ICML/ICLR or KDD, cite
data is one evaluation among many web results as evidence
Contribution is about people/society, -> ICWSM or WebSci if measurement/
computation is instrumental interdisciplinarity dominates
Contribution is retrieval effectiveness -> SIGIR first; Web Conference if the
per se open-web setting changes the problem
Contribution is mining methodology with -> WSDM (methods-first) or KDD
modest web specificity (mining/deployment-first)
Contribution is a deployed web system's -> Web Conference Industry track, not
practice lessons the research tracksThe 2026 research tracks, with the question each pool is primed to ask:
| Track (2026) | The pool's primary question |
|---|---|
| Economics, online markets and human computation | Are incentives/welfare modeled, not just predicted? |
| Graph algorithms and modeling for the Web | Does the graph method respect web-graph properties? |
| Responsible Web | Are harms, fairness, or governance the contribution? |
| Search and retrieval-augmented AI | What beats strong current retrieval/RAG baselines? |
| Security and privacy | Is there a real threat model and adversary? |
| Semantics and knowledge | Does it advance KGs/ontologies/structured data on the web? |
| Social networks and social media | Is the social measurement or model construct-valid? |
| Systems and infrastructure (Web, mobile, WoT) | Does it hold under realistic load/deployment? |
| User modeling, personalization and recommendation | Is the personalization gain real and leak-free? |
| Web mining and content analysis | Is the extracted signal novel and robust at scale? |
Tie-breaks: pick the track whose evidence you actually have, not whose name flatters the abstract. A RAG-for-recommendation paper with strong offline ranking tables but no retrieval-baseline sweep survives better in "User modeling ..." than in "Search and retrieval-augmented AI." Track names are re-cut most editions — confirm the current list before deciding, and remember the cap: at most 7 submissions per author across all research tracks in 2026.

Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill webconf-topic-selection -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (The-Web-Conference-Skills/skills/webconf-topic-selection in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .claude/skills/webconf-topic-selection in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill webconf-topic-selection -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (The-Web-Conference-Skills/skills/webconf-topic-selection in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .agents/skills/webconf-topic-selection 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 webconf-topic-selection -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/webconf-topic-selection, .gemini/skills/webconf-topic-selection, .github/skills/webconf-topic-selection and .opencode/skills/webconf-topic-selection in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Webconf Topic Selection is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. 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.
Webconf Topic Selection is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7.1k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
