What it does

Academic Venue Research is an agent skill from joshua-zyy/academic-paper-writer. Research target venue requirements and writing style for CS/AI/ML papers. Produces venue-brief.md with submission requirements and detailed writing style analysis. Use when: researching target journal/conference requirements, analyzing writing style of target venue, generating venue brief for paper writing, checking submission guidelines. Triggers on: venue research, 期刊调研, 目标期刊, writing style analysis, 写作风格分析, venue requirements, submission guidelines, 投稿要求, journal style, conference format.

Its SKILL.md is about 630 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 13 other files, including reference files (for example `agents/venue-research-agent.md`, `manifest.yaml` and `references/style-analysis-guide.md`).

It sits in Research & Science, covering Scientific writing and Brand voice and tone. The repository describes itself as: 面向 CS / AI / ML 领域的证据驱动、分节推进的论文写作 Agent Skill。 The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • : researching target journal/conference requirements
  • Analyzing writing style of target venue
  • Generating venue brief for paper writing
  • Checking submission guidelines

Example prompts

  • “/academic-venue-research”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read manifest.yaml. It declares always_load files, axes, and references.on_demand.
  2. Read every file listed under always_load. These are the skill's binding rules — not reference material.
  3. Apply the loaded material as constraints
  4. Detect the mode using the manifest's mode axis: full-venue-research, requirements-only, or style-only. Source hierarchy rule: official…
  5. Echo the selected mode to the user before executing.
  6. Reach for references/ only when the manifest's references.on_demand condition is satisfied.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6fceefd. 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

Academic Venue Research loads about 626 tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 130 tokens; SKILL.md has 228 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~130
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~626
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~5.9k

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.

Router Protocol

  1. Read manifest.yaml. It declares always_load files, axes, and references.on_demand.
  2. Read every file listed under always_load. These are the skill's binding rules — not reference material.
  3. Apply the loaded material as constraints:
    • stance.md defines core rules, source hierarchy, and scope.
    • red-lines.md defines absolute prohibitions. Do not negotiate these.
    • output-contract.md defines deliverables per mode.
  4. Detect the mode using the manifest's mode axis: full-venue-research, requirements-only, or style-only. Source hierarchy rule: official guidelines > template docs > accepted paper observations > agent knowledge. If ambiguous, ask one concise question.
  5. Echo the selected mode to the user before executing.
  6. Reach for references/ only when the manifest's references.on_demand condition is satisfied.

Modes

ModeUse when
full-venue-researchVenue + local style papers or full brief request
requirements-onlyVenue name only, no style analysis needed
style-onlyLocal style reference library, no requirements research

Agent Dispatch

agents/venue-research-agent.md is dispatched by the orchestrator at Step 4. The agent returns Venue Brief Markdown content; it must not write files directly during orchestrated use. File writes are owned by the orchestrator.
