chi-related-work
Use when building the related-work section of an ACM CHI paper — covering the HCI venue family and the non-CS disciplines CHI draws on, positioning against the last few CHI cycles, keeping self-citation anonymous — in a venue where insufficient contextualization is the top assisted desk-reject ground.

# CHI Related Work At CHI, related work is screened before it is reviewed: **ADR-Context — "grossly insufficient literature review to contextualize the contribution" — was the most frequently cited assisted desk-reject reason at CHI 2026**, applied jointly by subcommittee chairs and ACs before external review (chi2026.acm.org outcome posts, read 2026-07-08). A thin or misaimed section no longer just lowers scores; it can end the submission in October. ## Five lanes, all checked | Lane | What belongs there | Who notices its absence | |---|---|---| | CHI itself, last ~3 cycles | The ongoing conversation your paper joins | 1AC/2AC — instantly | | The HCI family (CSCW, UIST, DIS, IUI, ASSETS, IMWUT, TOCHI, IJHCS) | The specialist thread of your topic | The external recruited from that thread | | Foundational HCI | The classic your framing stands on (or contradicts) | Senior reviewers | | Feeder disciplines | Psychology, sociology, design, communication, health, ML — wherever your constructs come from | The reviewer trained in that discipline | | Domain/application literature | The practice context you study (education, accessibility, health...) | The reviewer who lives in that context

What does the chi-related-work skill do?
Use when building the related-work section of an ACM CHI paper — covering the HCI venue family and the non-CS disciplines CHI draws on, positioning against the last few CHI cycles, keeping self-citation anonymous — in a venue where insufficient contextualization is the top assisted desk-reject ground.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill chi-related-work --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
