icdt-related-work
Use when positioning an ICDT (International Conference on Database Theory) paper against the database-theory literature — covering the ICDT/PODS lineage, finite model theory and complexity, delta-first positioning against the nearest prior theorem, honest treatment of overlapping bounds, and keeping self-citations anonymous under the since-2024 rule.

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.
# ICDT Related Work Position the paper against the **exact prior theorems** it advances. At ICDT the related-work section is where a referee checks whether your result is genuinely new or a re-proof of something in the ICDT/PODS canon, so vague "much work has been done" prose is a liability. Every neighboring result should be named, its bound stated, and your delta made precise. ## Cover the datab

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