naacl-related-work
Use when building the related-work and positioning story for a NAACL submission — covering the ACL Anthology lineages reviewers expect, citing Findings, workshop, and regional venues correctly, handling resubmission histories and concurrent preprints under ARR rules, and stating the delta in one falsifiable sentence.

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.
# NAACL Related Work A NAACL reviewer's first suspicion about related work is not that you missed a paper — it is that you missed a *lineage*: the chain of prior datasets, task definitions, and evaluation critiques your work silently inherits from. The section's job is to prove you know what you inherited and to state, in one checkable sentence, what you changed. ## Lineages a NAACL reviewer walks | Lineage | Question asked | Where it lives | |---|---|---| | Task lineage | Who defined this task and its metrics? | Anthology main + Findings volumes | | Data lineage | What corpus is yours derived from, and what did *its* paper warn about? | Dataset papers, LREC-COLING, data cards | | Method lineage | What is the nearest prior system, and is it a baseline? | *ACL venues + ML conferences | | Evaluation critique | Has this metric or protocol been challenged? | Methodology papers, often at this very family of venues | | Regional/community lineage | Who worked on these languages before, including outside English-language venues? | AmericasNLP and sibling workshops, LatinX in AI resources, regional journals | The fifth row is where NAACL differs from its siblings.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill naacl-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 984 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.
