Research & Search
Research agent skills teach AI agents to gather and synthesize information properly: literature reviews, competitive analysis, web research with citations, and structured summaries. Each SKILL.md encodes a method, not just a prompt, so results stay consistent across runs.
-
thedixitjain Skill Pldi Camera ReadyUse when turning an accepted PLDI paper into its PACMPL Issue PLDI article — de-anonymization, acmsmall journal formatting, ACM rights and open-access handling, delivering every author-response commitment, and coordinating the Zenodo artifact and June conference presentation.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Podc Camera ReadyUse when preparing an accepted ACM PODC paper for the proceedings — de-anonymizing after lightweight double-blind, compressing to the 10-page two-column ACM proceedings format without losing the proof map, completing ACM rights/eRights metadata and CCS concepts, and posting the synchronized full version with all proofs to arXiv.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Pods Camera ReadyUse when preparing an accepted ACM PODS paper for its PACMMOD-track camera-ready, covering de-anonymization, the final acmsmall format and PACMMOD journal metadata (DOI, ORCID, CCS concepts), integrating shepherd-required revision items without overclaiming, posting and DOI-linking the arXiv full version, and confirming registration and presentation.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Popl Camera ReadyUse when a POPL paper is conditionally accepted — planning the mandatory revision the Review Committee must approve, de-anonymizing for PACMPL Issue POPL, handling ORCID/open-access/APC steps on the ACM side, syncing the paper with its proof artifact, and preparing the January talk.
2 -
thedixitjain Bundle Ppsych SubmissionUse when running the final submission preflight for a Perspectives on Psychological Science (PoPS) manuscript via the ScholarOne/Manuscript Central portal — contribution-type/proposal route, abstract limit, APA formatting, open-science deposits, cover-letter declarations, and suggested reviewers. Final checks; it does not draft content.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Psci Study DesignUse when designing studies for a Psychological Science manuscript so they meet the journal's standards for power, sample-size justification, preregistration, and confound control. Strengthens the design and pre-analysis plan; it does not write code.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Recsys SubmissionUse when auditing an ACM RecSys submission before the deadline — routing between the Main, Reproducibility, Industry and Resource tracks, the ACM two-column content-page budgets with appendices counted inside, double-blind anonymization for recommender papers, the anonymous-repository expectation, and desk-reject triage.
2 -
parcadei Skill Research ExternalExternal research workflow for docs, web, APIs - NOT codebase exploration
-
thedixitjain Bundle Respol SubmissionUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for Research Policy (RP) via Elsevier's online submission system — article-type choice, length/abstract limits, double-blind anonymization, data & code statement, and the out-of-scope desk-screen. Final checks; it does not draft content.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Revedres RevisionUse when an editor/reviewer decision letter arrives on a Review of Educational Research (RER) review or meta-analysis and you must plan the revision and response. Turns the letter into action and a point-by-point reply; it does not run the submission preflight (revedres-submission) or re-architect the framework from scratch (revedres-organizing-framework).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Revedres WorkflowUse when deciding which revedres-* sub-skill to invoke next, or when sequencing a systematic review, meta-analysis, or critical integrative synthesis from question-scoping through revision for a Review of Educational Research (RER) manuscript.

2 -
thedixitjain Skill Science SignalingUse when targeting Science Signaling (Sci. Signal.) or deciding whether a cell-signaling, systems-biology, or signaling-pharmacology manuscript fits this AAAS venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Sf Review ProcessUse to understand how Social Forces (SF) evaluates a manuscript — double-anonymized review via ScholarOne, what expert reviewers weigh (rigor, general significance, theoretical grounding), the typical decision categories, and the journal's reported review timeline. Sets expectations and shapes the paper to survive review; it does not contact editors.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Sigmod SubmissionUse when readying a SIGMOD research-track submission for a PACMMOD round, covering the abstract-plus-COI pre-deadline, Microsoft CMT mechanics, the 12-page ACM-template limit, double-anonymous rules, the 10-paper author cap, the 12-month rejection embargo, and desk-reject hazards.

2 -
thedixitjain Skill Soda Camera ReadyUse when converting a SODA (ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms) acceptance into a correct SIAM proceedings entry — following the October final-version instructions, condensing the no-limit submission into the proceedings version, restoring author identity, syncing the arXiv full version, and planning the January talk.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Stoc Camera ReadyUse when converting a STOC (ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing) acceptance into publishable form — the ACM proceedings version, de-anonymization, rights forms, the CFP-level expectation that the full paper with proofs goes public on arXiv or ECCC by the camera-ready deadline, and TheoryFest talk preparation.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Tacas ExperimentsUse when designing or auditing a TACAS (ETAPS) evaluation, covering shared verification benchmarks (SV-COMP-style task sets), fair baseline configuration and equal time budgets, honest wall-clock/scalability reporting on stated hardware, soundness checking of results, reproducibility on the clean artifact VM, and how a TACAS tool-paper evaluation differs from a SV-COMP competition entry.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill The Plant JournalUse when targeting The Plant Journal or deciding whether a plant-science manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the mechanistic gene-to-function and molecular-rigor bar, evidence and data-deposition expectations, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Wacv Related WorkUse when writing or auditing a WACV related-work section, covering how to position an applications or algorithms contribution against fast-moving vision literature, sibling-venue (CVPR/ICCV/ECCV) and arXiv concurrency, application-domain literature, double-blind self-citation, and verifying that cited "WACV papers" are actually WACV papers.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill World DevelopmentUse when targeting World Development or deciding whether a development-studies manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Demog Writing StyleUse when drafting or polishing a Demography (PAA / Duke University Press) manuscript so it reads for population scientists across components, follows the journal's house style (loosely APA), and fits the limits (Research Articles <= 8,000 words main text; Notes <= 4,000; Commentaries <= 2,000; abstract <= 200 words; up to 5 keywords; 3-5 highlights). Tightens prose and format; it does not invent content.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Icsme Writing StyleUse when revising an IEEE ICSME paper for a maintenance/evolution contribution stated on the first page, research-question contracts, a threats-to-validity section that argues rather than recites, evidence proportional to the claim, double-anonymous wording, and disciplined use of the IEEEtran two-column 10-page budget.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Mgsci Writing StyleUse when polishing the prose of a Management Science (INFORMS) manuscript — front-loading the result, keeping notation lean, writing for a cross-department reader, and conforming to author-year citation house style and the journal's preference for short, focused papers. It polishes prose and style; it does not frame the contribution (mgsci-contribution-framing) or build exhibits (mgsci-tables-figures).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Mlsys Writing StyleUse when revising an MLSys paper's prose and structure, building the measured-bottleneck opening, naming the mechanism instead of listing optimizations, writing evaluation sections as answers to research questions, quantifying every performance claim with workload context, and fitting the argument into the venue's 10-page two-column body.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Phg Theory BuildingUse when building the conceptual apparatus that organizes a Progress in Human Geography (PiHG) review essay — the load-bearing concept that carries the argument and re-orders a literature. Sharpens the concept; it does not gather sources or run analyses (PiHG publishes no empirical work).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Tacas Writing StyleUse when revising a TACAS (ETAPS) paper for a clear construction-or-analysis contribution on the first page, a stated soundness/completeness claim, honest benchmark evidence, category-appropriate structure (research vs tool vs case-study vs tool-demo), disciplined use of the 16-page (or 6-page) LNCS budget, and correct handling of double-blind wording for research papers.
2 -
affaan-m Skill Ito Market IntelligenceResearch prediction-market events, venues, underliers, liquidity, and news context for Itô basket workflows. Use for read-only market intelligence, API-gated Itô exploration, and source-grounded prediction-market briefings without investment advice or live trading.

thedixitjain Skill Aos Topic SelectionUse when choosing or sharpening a research question for an Accounting, Organizations and Society (AOS) manuscript — testing whether the question genuinely concerns the social, organizational, behavioral or institutional life of accounting, and picking the intellectual tradition the question demands. Screens fit; it does not build the theory (aos-theory-development).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Rfs Topic SelectionUse when the research question or contribution is the bottleneck for a The Review of Financial Studies (RFS) manuscript. Pressure-tests novelty-plus-rigor fit and drafts the contribution claim; does NOT design the empirics or position the literature in detail.
2 -
hashgraph-online Skill Apple CalendarRead and create Calendar.app events through a local macOS helper. Use when the user wants to inspect Apple Calendar calendars, summarize a day, check upcoming events, or create a new Calendar.app event from Codex.
-
thedixitjain Skill Aaai SupplementaryUse when organizing AAAI supplementary material, including the technical appendix, multimedia appendix, and code/data ZIPs, while respecting that AAAI supplements are due with the paper, treated as immutable after submission, must stay double-blind, and should never hide main-paper-critical evidence from reviewers who skim the appendix.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Aamas Camera ReadyUse when preparing an accepted AAMAS paper for the IFAAMAS open-access camera-ready, covering author de-anonymization, proceedings metadata, two-column reflow of game figures and learning curves, resolving rebuttal-stage promises, registration, in-person presentation, and the public code and environment release for a multiagent paper.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Acl Review ProcessUse when reasoning about how an ACL paper travels through ACL Rolling Review and conference commitment, covering reviewer and area-chair roles, meta-reviews, the commitment decision by senior area chairs and program chairs, Findings versus main-conference outcomes, ethics review escalation, and resubmission strategy across cycles.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Acmmm Related WorkUse when building or auditing the related-work section of an ACM MM (ACM Multimedia) paper — covering the multimedia literature spread across vision, audio/speech, language, HCI/QoE, and systems, handling arXiv-speed concurrency, keeping citations double-blind, and verifying that cited "ACM MM papers" are ACM MM and not ICMR, MMSys, CVPR, or TOMM.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Acr IdentificationUse when the empirical identification strategy is the bottleneck for a 《会计研究》 (Accounting Research) manuscript — exogenous standard / regulatory changes (event study, DID), PSM, Heckman, IV — and you need to stress-test the design before drafting tables. Prefers standard/regulatory shocks as the cleanest accounting identification source.
