Research skills

Browse reusable Agent Skills, each with a clear purpose and practical guidance.

cogpsych-review-process

Use when you need to understand how Cognitive Psychology (Elsevier) evaluates a manuscript — editorial triage for theoretical impact and fit, expert review weighing model rigor, recovery, design, and reproducibility, and the long revision cycles typical of a model-driven journal. Use when stress-testing a paper before submission or interpreting a decision letter. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.

cogpsych-study-design

Use when designing the experiments for a Cognitive Psychology (Elsevier) manuscript so they tightly control confounds, discriminate competing models, and have adequate power across a multi-experiment program. Hardens stimulus construction, counterbalancing, design logic, and sample-size justification; it does not write analysis or modeling code.

cogpsych-topic-selection

Use when deciding whether a cognition project fits Cognitive Psychology (Elsevier) and what contribution shape to target. The journal favors longer, integrative, model-driven work that produces a substantial theoretical advance — not a single isolated effect. Frames the question and the model-or-theory payoff; it does not collect data.

colm-experiments

Use when designing or auditing the empirical core of a COLM paper — contamination analysis for evaluation data, fair baselines under matched prompting and compute, pinned model versions and decoding parameters, uncertainty over runs and samples, scaling coverage, and honest reporting of API-model comparisons.

colm-related-work

Use when positioning a COLM paper inside the fastest-moving literature in ML — triaging arXiv-heavy citations, handling concurrent work fairly, citing model and dataset artifacts correctly, distinguishing COLM's three-edition archive from adjacent venues' archives, and keeping self-citation double-blind safe.

colm-review-process

Use when reasoning about how COLM reviews a paper — the OpenReview pipeline from late-March submission through the May review release, the May-June rebuttal window, July decisions, reciprocal-reviewing obligations, the LLM-use rules for reviewers, and how a three-edition-old venue's norms differ from mature conferences.

colm-topic-selection

Use when deciding whether language-model research belongs at COLM or should route to ACL/EMNLP, ICLR, NeurIPS, ICML, or a workshop — applying the object-of-study test, matching against COLM's CFP lanes (training, data, evaluation, inference, safety), and weighing the trade-offs of a young venue before writing begins.

colt-related-work

Use when positioning a COLT (Conference on Learning Theory) submission against prior bounds and models — building the known-versus-new comparison across COLT/ALT lineage, STOC/FOCS, NeurIPS-and-ICML theory tracks, statistics journals, and arXiv concurrency, while respecting anonymity and the parallel-submission rules.

colt-reproducibility

Use when strengthening the reproducibility of a COLT (Conference on Learning Theory) paper, where reproducing means re-deriving — complete proofs, explicit assumptions, tracked constants, correctly invoked external results, self-contained notation — plus seeds and scripts for any numerical illustration the paper carries.

colt-review-process

Use when reasoning about COLT (Conference on Learning Theory) peer review — the double-anonymous-with-informed-area-chair model, correctness-first evaluation by expert theorists, the rebuttal stage before decisions, single-track acceptance stakes, and how PMLR publication and the community's proof culture shape outcomes.
