Research skills

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

uist-topic-selection

Use when deciding whether a project belongs at UIST — testing it against the interface-systems contribution bar (novel technique, toolkit, or hardware that works), making the CHI-vs-UIST routing call explicitly, and re-routing to CSCW, IMWUT, TEI, ISMAR, IUI, or TOCHI when the artifact is not the contribution.

uncertainty-in-artificial-intelligence

Use when targeting Conference on Uncertainty in Artificial Intelligence (UAI) or deciding whether a computer-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes conference fit, framing, evidence bar, submission-cycle checks, rebuttal posture, and desk-reject risks for AI statistics.

usenix-security-symposium

Use when targeting USENIX Security Symposium (USENIX Security) or deciding whether a computer-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes conference fit, framing, evidence bar, submission-cycle checks, rebuttal posture, and desk-reject risks for security flagship.

usenixsec-related-work

Use when positioning a USENIX Security Symposium paper against prior work — covering the Big-Four security venues plus specialty conferences, handling concurrent submissions across the multi-cycle calendar, citing your own work double-blind, and using USENIX's open-access proceedings for verification.

vis-experiments

Use when designing or auditing IEEE VIS evaluations, covering how to match evidence to the contribution type (perceptual study, controlled user study, algorithm benchmark, design-study validation, qualitative work), controlled experiment design with power and effect sizes, CVD-safe and perceptually grounded encoding choices, task taxonomies, and provenance so a TVCG reviewer trusts the result.

vis-reproducibility

Use when strengthening IEEE VIS reproducibility and open-practices evidence, covering the open-materials statement, anonymized-but-runnable code and stimuli, preregistration of perceptual and user studies, provenance for datasets and rendering pipelines, claim-to-figure mapping, honest degrees of reproducibility, and consistency between what the TVCG paper says and what the supplemental archive contains.

vis-review-process

Use when reasoning about how an IEEE VIS full-paper submission is evaluated, covering the two-phase review that mirrors IEEE TVCG, the primary/secondary/external (and 2026 student) reviewer roles, the six-area routing through Area Paper Chairs, the conditional-accept second round, and how VIS's journal-integrated process differs from a single accept/reject conference and from CHI/CVPR.

wacv-review-process

Use when reasoning about how WACV decides a paper, covering the two-round model, the Round 1 Accept / Revise-and-Resubmit / Reject recommendations, the optional Round 1 rebuttal, the no-rebuttal Round 2, area-chair consolidation, double-blind confidentiality, and where author leverage actually exists across the two rounds.

water-resources-research

Use when targeting Water Resources Research (WRR) or deciding whether a hydrology / water-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the quantitative water-science contribution bar, data-and-code deposition expectations, AGU house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

wber-identification

Use when the causal identification argument is the bottleneck for a The World Bank Economic Review (WBER) manuscript — RCT/program evaluation, DiD/event study around a reform, regression discontinuity, or IV in a developing-country setting. Stress-tests the data-to-estimate mapping AND the external-validity/policy-interpretation step to the WBER bar; it does not write prose or build the package.
