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 Icse ExperimentsUse when designing or auditing the evaluation of an ICSE research-track paper, covering subject and benchmark selection, baseline fairness, statistical tests and effect sizes as SE reviewers expect them, qualitative-methods rigor, ablations for AI-based techniques, and threats-driven study design.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Osdi ExperimentsUse when designing or auditing the evaluation of an OSDI submission — choosing mature baselines and realistic workloads, structuring the section around research questions, measuring scalability and tail behavior, quantifying the design's costs, and fitting the evidence into the 12-page reviewed body.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Dac Topic SelectionUse when deciding whether an EDA or chip-design project belongs at the ACM/IEEE Design Automation Conference (DAC) and, if so, in the double-blind archival Research Manuscript track versus the industry-facing Engineering Track — or whether it should route to a sibling EDA venue (ICCAD, DATE, ASP-DAC) or a computer-architecture venue (ISCA/MICRO/HPCA), decided by contribution shape, QoR evidence maturity, and the November calendar.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Aamas WorkflowUse when planning an AAMAS project timeline from venue fit through abstract, full-paper or extended-abstract upload, supplementary material, the double-blind rebuttal, decision, IFAAMAS camera-ready, registration, and presentation, with track-specific deadlines and backward-planning offsets for a game-theory-plus-experiments paper.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Acm SigmetricsUse when targeting ACM SIGMETRICS (SIGMETRICS) 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 performance measurement.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Acr RobustnessUse when building the robustness section for a 《会计研究》 (Accounting Research) manuscript — replacing accounting measures with alternatives, adding governance / institutional controls, placebo tests, and endogeneity follow-ups — so the main result survives an accounting referee's scrutiny. Use after mechanism is settled.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Acr SubmissionUse for the pre-submission preflight to 《会计研究》 (Accounting Research) — checking footnote (当页下注) conventions, the 著者—出版年制 reference style, abstract/keyword limits, article length, the online-only submission system via the Accounting Society of China site, double-blind anonymity, and document hygiene. Use right before submitting; verify every rule against the journal's current 投稿指南.
2 -
thedixitjain Bundle Amj SubmissionUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for an Academy of Management Journal (AMJ) manuscript — ScholarOne portal, anonymization for double-blind review, AOM house-style formatting, files, and ethics declarations. Checks readiness to submit; it does not handle the post-decision response (amj-rebuttal).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill AnesthesiologyUse when targeting Anesthesiology or deciding whether an anesthesiology, perioperative-medicine, pain, or critical-care study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the perioperative-trial and translational bar, reporting-guideline and registration requirements, ASA house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.
2 -
thedixitjain Bundle Asq SubmissionUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for an Administrative Science Quarterly (ASQ) manuscript — fit, anonymization, format, exhibits, references, and the editorial-system submission. Checks readiness; it does not write or revise the manuscript.

hashgraph-online Skill Best PracticesResearch current best practices and turn the evidence into a clear recommendation. Use for state-of-the-art, evidence-based, optimal-approach, comparison, or pros-and-cons questions in any field.
-
nousresearch Skill BioinformaticsGateway to 400+ genomics and computational biology skills.
-
thedixitjain Skill Car SubmissionUse when running the final pre-submission preflight for a Contemporary Accounting Research (CAR) manuscript — Editorial Manager files (blind manuscript, separate title page, author declaration, ethics-approval verification, proof of payment), the $250/$600 submission fee, length/abstract limits, and the Data Integrity items collected at submission. Checks readiness to submit; it does not handle the post-decision response (car-rebuttal).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Cav SubmissionUse when auditing a CAV (Computer Aided Verification) submission for portal readiness, covering the four submission categories (Regular / Short Tool / Short Application / Industrial Experience & Case Studies), the LNCS page limits, the per-category anonymization matrix, the artifact-intent declaration, and desk-reject triage before the AoE paper deadline.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Ccs SubmissionUse when auditing an ACM CCS submission for HotCRP readiness, dual-cycle abstract registration and full-paper deadlines, the 12-page ACM sigconf body, anonymization, the ethics considerations appendix, artifact-availability posture, dual-submission policy, per-cycle submission caps, desk-reject triggers, and final-week sequencing.
2 -

2 -
brycewang-stanford Skill Cie RobustnessUse when building or auditing the robustness section of a 《中国工业经济》 (China Industrial Economics) manuscript — the journal's signature "arms race." Drives an exhaustive checklist: alternative measures, dropping competing policies, PSM-DID, changing windows/samples, placebo, winsorizing, and explicitly ruling out alternative explanations. Doing this thoroughly is the norm, not the exception.
1k -
thedixitjain Skill Cie SubmissionUse for the pre-submission preflight to 《中国工业经济》 (China Industrial Economics) — checking length (~2.5万字/18+ pages), 450–500-char abstract + 3–5 keywords, the five abstract components, three-level headings, footnote (页下注) + 实引 reference conventions, the data/code-on-acceptance requirement, double-blind anonymity, and the online system. Verify every rule against the journal's current 投稿(修改)指南.

thedixitjain Skill Ecj RobustnessUse when the main result of a The Economic Journal (EJ) manuscript rests on a single specification and you need to pre-empt the alternative-explanation and fragility objections a demanding referee will raise. Builds the robustness battery and the falsification logic; it does not establish the primary identification (see ecj-identification).

Plans and drafts the response; it returns to imfer-submission for the resubmission preflight and does not re-run the original identification (imfer-identification).
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Issta WorkflowUse when planning an ISSTA project timeline from venue fit through the January research-paper deadline, the March author response, the April first decision, the May Major-Revision sprint, the June final decision, artifact evaluation, and the October symposium, with backward-planning offsets for a testing/analysis tool paper and its artifact.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jacs Scope FitUse when deciding whether a chemistry result belongs in the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS) versus a specialized ACS journal, and which JACS format fits. Judges fit and venue — it does not improve the chemistry itself.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jama NeurologyUse when targeting JAMA Neurology or deciding whether a clinical-neurology study fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the neurological-trial and observational evidence bar, reporting-guideline and trial-registration requirements, JAMA Network house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics. Venue-fit aid only, not clinical advice.
2 -
thedixitjain Skill Jama Scope FitUse when judging whether a clinical study clears JAMA's general-medical-importance bar before investing in a full submission. Assesses fit and article-type match; it does NOT design the study or write the paper.
