What it does

Conference Research is an agent skill from nanoAgentTeam/research-claw. Academic venue paper discovery — activate when you need to find papers accepted at specific conferences or journals (ACL, EMNLP, NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, MLSys, etc.), analyze venue acceptance preferences, or look up CFP requirements.

Its SKILL.md is about 820 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 Academic paper search. It works with arXiv. The repository describes itself as: A self-hosted AI assistant for academic research — manages your papers, searches literature, tracks deadlines, and answers you on the channels you already use. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Tasks that involve Academic paper search

Example prompts

“/conference-research”

Requirements

Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): web_search, web_fetch, read_file

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

NLP Venues: ACL / EMNLP / NAACL / EACL / COLING
ML Venues: NeurIPS / ICLR / ICML
Systems Venues: MLSys / OSDI / SOSP / EuroSys
Cross-Venue Search via Semantic Scholar
CFP and Acceptance Criteria

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit ce3a4ac. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:
- web_search
- web_fetch
- read_file
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

Conference Research loads about 823 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 286 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~823

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.

[SKILL: CONFERENCE RESEARCH PROTOCOL]

When researching papers from specific academic venues, standard arxiv_search with venue names WILL FAIL — conference names never appear in arXiv paper titles. Use the source-specific strategies below instead.

Source Priority (try in order)

1. NLP Venues: ACL / EMNLP / NAACL / EACL / COLING

ACL Anthology is the authoritative proceedings database for all ACL-family venues.

web_search: site:aclanthology.org "{topic}" {year}
web_search: site:aclanthology.org "{year}.{venue-code}-main"

Venue codes: acl-long, acl-short, emnlp-main, naacl-main, eacl-main

Examples:

EMNLP 2024 long-document papers → site:aclanthology.org "long document" 2024.emnlp-main
ACL 2023 RAG papers → site:aclanthology.org "retrieval augmented" 2023.acl-long

2. ML Venues: NeurIPS / ICLR / ICML

All three now use OpenReview. Do NOT use site:proceedings.mlr.press — it is not well-indexed by web search. Do NOT quote the topic phrase; use bare keywords:

web_search: site:openreview.net {topic keywords} NeurIPS 2024
web_search: site:openreview.net {topic keywords} ICLR 2024
web_search: site:openreview.net {topic keywords} ICML 2024

Examples:

NeurIPS 2024 long context papers → site:openreview.net long context NeurIPS 2024
ICLR 2025 RAG papers → site:openreview.net retrieval augmented generation ICLR 2025

3. Systems Venues: MLSys / OSDI / SOSP / EuroSys

Use DBLP:

web_search: site:dblp.org {venue-abbrev} {year} {topic keywords}

If DBLP returns no results, fall back to a plain web search:

web_search: {venue} {year} {topic keywords} accepted papers

4. Cross-Venue Search via Semantic Scholar

web_search: site:semanticscholar.org "{topic}" venue:"{Conference Full Name}"

5. CFP and Acceptance Criteria

To find Call for Papers, review criteria, or scope descriptions:

web_search: "{Conference} {year} call for papers"
web_search: "{Conference} {year} submission guidelines"
web_search: "{Conference} {year} review criteria"
web_search: "{Conference} {year} acceptance rate topics"

Critical Anti-Patterns (NEVER do these)

❌ arxiv_search with ti:"ACL" or ti:"EMNLP" — conference names are not in arXiv paper titles
❌ Using arxiv_search alone to find venue-specific accepted papers
❌ Asserting conference preferences based on openalex metadata alone without cross-checking content
❌ Treating ACL Findings / Workshop as equivalent to Main Conference acceptance

Analysis Workflow (after collecting papers)

Note each paper's track (Main / Findings / Workshop) — do not conflate them
Group papers by methodological approach, not just topic keyword
Extract style signals from abstracts and method sections (theoretical vs empirical, task breadth vs depth)
Require ≥ 3 papers as evidence before stating a venue preference pattern
Cross-validate CFP scope text against the collected paper sample

Can I use Conference Research in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add nanoAgentTeam/research-claw --skill conference-research -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/conference-research, .gemini/skills/conference-research, .github/skills/conference-research and .opencode/skills/conference-research in your project.

What does Conference Research need to run?

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Conference Research is instructions for the agent only. Its frontmatter pre-approves these tools: web_search, web_fetch, read_file.

Does Conference Research access the network?

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.

Is Conference Research safe to install?

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.

What licence does Conference Research use?

Conference Research is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.

How many tokens does Conference Research use?

About 823 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 3.3k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
