conext-related-work
Use when writing the related-work and positioning of an ACM CoNEXT paper — covering the networking literature lanes (SIGCOMM, NSDI, IMC, SIGMETRICS, MobiCom, CCR), delta-first positioning against the venue's own recent programs, and keeping self-citations double-anonymous.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# CoNEXT Related Work Position the paper for a networking reviewer who knows the field's flagships cold. At CoNEXT, related work is not a literature dump; it is the **delta argument** — what your contribution adds over the closest prior systems and measurements — written so a double-anonymous reviewer can locate your paper in the networking landscape in one read. ## Cover the lanes a networking reviewer expects A CoNEXT reviewer will mentally check whether you engage the right bodies of work: - **The flagship conferences:** SIGCOMM, NSDI, and CoNEXT itself for systems and architecture. - **Measurement:** IMC (and PAM) for internet/system measurement methodology and findings. - **Performance/modeling:** SIGMETRICS for analysis and evaluation methodology. - **Wireless/mobile:** MobiCom, MobiSys, and related venues when relevant. - **The journal and letters record:** IEEE/ACM ToN, CCR (SIGCOMM Computer Communication Review), and now **PACMNET** itself. Missing the lane your paper lives in — e.g., a measurement paper that ignores IMC methodology, or a data-plane paper that ignores the recent SIGCOMM/NSDI switch-hardware line — reads as unfamiliarity and invites a change-list item in a

What does the conext-related-work skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill conext-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.
