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 Sensys SupplementaryUse when deciding what goes in a SenSys paper's body versus its unlimited references and appendices versus HotCRP fields — keeping the double-column body carrying the argument, moving full protocols, extra plots, and derivations to the appendix, blinding anonymous artifact links, and keeping the Response to Reviewers out of the body.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Sigir Review ProcessUse when reasoning about how SIGIR evaluates submissions — the per-track OpenReview machinery, double-blind full/short review versus single-anonymous Resources review, the PC-member nomination duty, what IR reviewers score (evaluation validity above novelty claims), the ACM Peer Review Policy layer, and how decisions land.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Socc ReproducibilityUse when strengthening ACM SoCC reproducibility, covering the testbed and workload description, released code and traces, provenance pinning for measurement studies, reproducing tail-latency and cost (not just the mean), claim-to-evidence mapping, honest degrees of reproducibility, and consistency between what the paper reports and what the artifact regenerates.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Sociological StudiesUse when targeting 《社会学研究》(Sociological Studies) — the CASS flagship sociology journal. Apply to social stratification, family, networks, urban/rural, work, and institutions, supporting both quantitative survey analysis (CGSS/CFPS/CLDS) and qualitative ethnography. Emphasizes dialogue with sociological theory over econometric policy evaluation; reframes economics-style papers toward a sociological problematic.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Socs Theory DialogueUse to build genuine dialogue with classic and contemporary sociological theory for 《社会学研究》 (Sociological Studies) — entering a theoretical lineage (stratification, networks, institutions, culture, action) rather than piling up recent empirical citations. Use when the literature review is a variable list, not a conversation.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Soda Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether a result is SODA-shaped (ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms) — concrete algorithmic problems, data structures, and discrete mathematics with quantitative progress — versus routing to STOC/FOCS, ESA, ICALP, ITCS, SOSA, ALENEX, SoCG, or a journal, judged from SODA's algorithms-first identity.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Sosp ReproducibilityUse when hardening the reproducibility of a SOSP paper's results before submission — pinning the OS-level environment, recording hardware and topology, making every figure regenerable from logged runs, separating measurement noise from effect size, and preparing the ground for post-acceptance artifact evaluation.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Stoc ReproducibilityUse when hardening a STOC (ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing) paper so its results can be independently checked — proof completeness across the extended-abstract/full-version split, single-source builds that prevent statement drift between the two documents, and determinism for any computation a claim relies on.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill The Economic JournalUse when targeting The Economic Journal (EJ) or deciding whether a general-interest economics 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 The Lancet NeurologyUse when targeting The Lancet Neurology or deciding whether a clinical neurology 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 Uist ReproducibilityUse when making a UIST paper's results replicable — reporting implementation parameters and measurement protocols so a lab could rebuild the system, specifying hardware down to parts and calibration, logging technical evaluations deterministically, and writing honest availability statements for interface systems.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Wacv Author ResponseUse when responding to WACV reviews, covering the optional one-page Round 1 rebuttal and, separately, the Revise-and-Resubmit change summary that carries a revised paper into the no-rebuttal Round 2, including how to triage three reviews for the area chair, what a rebuttal can and cannot claim, and keeping every response double-blind.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Wacv ReproducibilityUse when strengthening the reproducibility of a WACV paper, covering the recipe ledger for constraint-aware systems, benchmark and split hygiene, seed and session honesty, device and power reporting for applications claims, and keeping the reproduction package in sync with the paper across the two-round Revise-and-Resubmit lap.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Wacv Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether a project belongs at WACV or should route elsewhere, covering WACV's applications-first identity within the CVF's CVPR/ICCV/ECCV/WACV calendar, the Applications-vs-Algorithms track choice, whether the two-round winter timing fits your schedule, and routing to CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, 3DV, or a journal.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Wsdm ReproducibilityUse when hardening the reproducibility of a WSDM paper built on logs, graphs, or user-interaction data - provenance of behavioral datasets, temporal split discipline, click-bias assumptions, seed and variance reporting, privacy-preserving release, and honesty tiers for results no outsider can rerun.
2 -
sickn33 Bundle Xvary Stock ResearchThesis-driven equity analysis from public SEC EDGAR and market data; /analyze, /score, /compare workflows with bundled Python tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex).
45.1k -
thedixitjain Skill Ylj Preemption CheckUse when verifying that a The Yale Law Journal (YLJ) claim is genuinely novel and not preempted by prior scholarship. It runs the systematic SSRN/Westlaw/HeinOnline search and writes the "what's new" paragraph; it does not draft the thesis (use ylj-thesis-and-contribution).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Restud Topic SelectionUse when evaluating whether a research idea clears the REStud top-5 bar, or when sharpening a fuzzy idea into one clean original contribution for a The Review of Economic Studies (REStud) manuscript. Diagnoses fit and contribution; does not draft prose or design empirics.
2 -
hashgraph-online Skill Comparative SynthesisCompare and synthesize findings across multiple completed DeepScan reports. Use when the user wants cross-run analysis, trend comparison, or a unified summary from several research sessions.
-
thedixitjain Skill Amann Proposal FramingUse when writing the short proposal that gates an Academy of Management Annals (Annals) review — the ≤5-page, four-heading proposal submitted under the twice-yearly deadlines before any full review is invited. Builds the proposal; it does not gather the literature (amann-literature-synthesis) or run the portal preflight (amann-submission).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Finman Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether a topic fits Financial Management (FM) and is worth aiming there — testing the question for general-interest finance relevance, topicality, and managerial/market payoff before the literature and design work begins. Sets the target; it does not run analysis or write the paper.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Dac Artifact EvaluationUse when packaging the code, benchmarks, and flows behind an ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC) Research Manuscript into a credible, reusable artifact — given that DAC has historically run no formal artifact-evaluation or badge-issuing track (verify per cycle), so the goal is reviewer credibility and community reuse via open EDA flows and DOI-archived releases, not an ACM badge.
2 -
thedixitjain Bundle Commit Message StorytellerAnalyzes git diffs or staged changes and generates narrative commit messages that explain WHY a change was made, not just what changed — following Conventional Commits format. Use when asked to "write a commit message", "generate a commit", "describe my changes", "what should I commit this as", "commit this", "summarize my diff", or "help me commit". Works with git diff output, staged files, or plain descriptions of changes.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Arecon Organizing FrameworkUse when imposing an analytical structure or taxonomy on a literature for an Annual Review of Economics (ARE) review — the "spine" that turns a reading list into an argument about the field. Designs the framework; it does not gather the literature (arecon-literature-synthesis) or appraise evidence and balance (arecon-evidence-standards).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Aamas Author ResponseUse when drafting an AAMAS rebuttal to preliminary OpenReview reviews, covering the double-blind constraint, the no-new-results and no-revised-paper norms, how to answer game-theory, MARL, and systems reviewers at once, and how to give the area chair a clean acceptance rationale within a short response window.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Aamas ReproducibilityUse when strengthening AAMAS reproducibility evidence for interaction claims, including proofs and game definitions, opponent and population sets, self-play protocols, random seeds, compute, uncertainty on strategic outcomes, baselines, and consistency between what the paper claims about agents and what the artifact can actually show.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Aamas Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether a project is a strong AAMAS fit, comparing AAMAS with AAAI, IJCAI, NeurIPS, ICML, EC, and the JAAMAS journal, identifying whether the agents are truly the research object, naming the interaction primitive (solution concept, mechanism, coordination, negotiation), and sharpening the multiagent framing before writing begins.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Acmmm ReproducibilityUse when strengthening the reproducibility of an ACM MM (ACM Multimedia) paper or preparing for the ACM MM Reproducibility track and ACM artifact badging — capturing environments, media/data access, seeds, and multimodal pipelines so an independent reviewer can rebuild results and reach Artifacts Evaluated or Results Reproduced badges.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Acmmm Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether a project is a genuine ACM MM (ACM Multimedia) contribution rather than single-modality work, choosing a thematic area, and routing between ACM MM, CVPR/ICCV, ACL/EMNLP, ICMR, MMSys, NeurIPS/ICLR, and the ACM TOMM journal by finding the cross-modal or media-systems core of the contribution.
2 -
brycewang-stanford Skill Aej Applied EconomicsUse when targeting American Economic Journal: Applied Economics or deciding whether an applied micro manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
1k -
brycewang-stanford Skill Aeja Referee StrategyUse when anticipating the objections a sophisticated American Economic Journal: Applied Economics (AEJ: Applied) referee will raise, so a manuscript pre-empts them before submission or addresses them in revision. Plans the defense; it does not draft the response letter (aeja-rebuttal) or run the submission preflight (aeja-submission).
1k -
thedixitjain Skill Aistats SupplementaryUse when preparing AISTATS supplementary material, appendices, proof details, code/data archives, simulation scripts, additional tables, and anonymized artifacts under deadline, size, anonymity, and reviewer-discretion constraints, including how to split a theory-plus-experiments paper between body and supplement.
