Use when targeting IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (TAC) or deciding whether a systems-and-control manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the theory-first contribution bar, proof and assumption rigor, paper-vs-technical-note framing, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (ieee-transactions-on-automatic-control) ## Journal positioning IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (TAC) is the flagship archival journal of the systems-and-control field, publishing rigorous theoretical and methodological contributions across control theory, estimation, optimization for control, hybrid and networked systems, and the mathematics of dynamical systems. The defining expectation is a **provable, general result**: a new theorem, a new method with guarantees, or a sharp answer to an open systems-and-control question. Application papers that tune a known controller for one plant, or simulation studies without a generalizable theoretical contribution, are a poor fit and are routinely returned. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official author information. Before submitting, re-check the live IEEE TAC author guidance and submission system. ## When to trigger - The author names TAC as the target for a control-theory, estimation, or dynamical-systems manuscript and wants a fit/framing check. - A control contribution must be re-framed from "we controlled this syste

What does the ieee-transactions-on-automatic-control skill do?
Use when targeting IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control (TAC) or deciding whether a systems-and-control manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's fit, the theory-first contribution bar, proof and assumption rigor, paper-vs-technical-note framing, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ieee-transactions-on-automatic-control --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.
