Use when targeting SIAM Journal on Computing (SICOMP) or deciding whether a theoretical-computer-science manuscript fits this foundational algorithms-and-complexity venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, proof-and-rigor bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.

# SIAM Journal on Computing (siam-journal-on-computing) ## Journal positioning SIAM Journal on Computing (SICOMP), published by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, is a foundational venue for theoretical computer science. Its defining character is rigorous theory of computation: the design and analysis of algorithms, computational complexity, data structures, cryptography, randomness, distributed and parallel computation, and the mathematical foundations of computing — with theorems and proofs at the core. SICOMP is where many landmark TCS results appear in their full, refereed journal form, often as the archival version of work first presented at conferences such as STOC and FOCS. A paper is judged on the importance of its theoretical contribution and the full correctness of its proofs, addressed to the theory-of-computing research community. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines or the editorial board's judgment. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the SICOMP / SIAM site. ## When to trigger - The author names SICOMP as the target for a rigorous t

What does the siam-journal-on-computing skill do?
Use when targeting SIAM Journal on Computing (SICOMP) or deciding whether a theoretical-computer-science manuscript fits this foundational algorithms-and-complexity venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, proof-and-rigor bar, 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 siam-journal-on-computing --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.
