Research skills

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

oopsla-experiments

Use when designing or auditing the evaluation of an OOPSLA paper — matching evidence type to claim type across the venue's spread (benchmarks, corpus studies, case studies, user studies, mechanized proofs), building baselines and workloads that survive the SIGPLAN checklist, and sizing experiments to the round calendar.

podc-related-work

Use when writing the related-work and positioning of an ACM PODC paper — covering the distributed-computing literature lanes (PODC/DISC/SPAA and the JACM / Distributed Computing journals), writing a model-and-bound-precise delta over prior results, distinguishing your model from neighboring ones, and keeping self-citation safe under lightweight double-blind review.

pom-literature-positioning

Use when positioning a Production and Operations Management (POM) manuscript within an operations conversation — against the target Department's prior work and adjacent OM journals (M&SOM, Management Science, Operations Research, JOM). Positions the paper; it does not build the model (pom-theory-development) or state the contribution (pom-contribution-framing).

popl-experiments

Use when designing the empirical component of a POPL paper — deciding whether evidence should be a mechanization, a prototype, case studies, or benchmarks; reporting proof effort and case-study coverage honestly; and keeping performance numbers in a supporting role so the formal claim stays the paper's center of gravity.

proghg-literature-synthesis

Use when systematically gathering, reading, and critically synthesizing a body of human-geography scholarship for a Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) review or progress report — coverage discipline across theoretical traditions and avoiding citation gaps. Builds the evidence corpus and synthesis notes; it does not impose the conceptual spine (proghg-organizing-framework) or write prose (proghg-writing-style).

progress-in-materials-science

Use when targeting Progress in Materials Science or deciding whether a materials-science review fits this venue. Encodes the journal's review-only fit, the comprehensiveness-and-critical-synthesis bar, the scope-and-balance expectations, the often-invited/proposal route, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

pubar-topic-selection

Use when deciding whether a public-administration project fits Public Administration Review (PAR) and which article type to target. PAR is the practice-bridging ASPA flagship, so the test is dual — a scholarly advance AND a credible "so-what" for public managers. Helps frame the question; it does not collect data.

qje-robustness

Use when building the robustness suite and online appendix for a Quarterly Journal of Economics (QJE) manuscript — the extensive checks QJE referees expect, exploiting the journal's no-page-limit norm. Plans and prioritizes robustness; it does not change the core identification design.

recsys-topic-selection

Use when deciding whether a project is a strong ACM RecSys fit, routing among RecSys, SIGIR, KDD, WSDM, TheWebConf, UAI, CHI, and general ML venues, identifying whether the core contribution is genuinely about recommendation, and choosing the right RecSys track before writing begins.

resources-conservation-and-recycling

Use when targeting Resources, Conservation & Recycling or deciding whether a resource-efficiency/circular-economy manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the materials-and-waste circularity contribution bar, material-flow-analysis expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
