siggraph-topic-selection
Use before committing a project to SIGGRAPH / SIGGRAPH Asia / TOG, to decide whether the contribution is graphics-shaped and which venue and track fit, routing among SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, direct-to-TOG, and siblings (CVPR/ICCV, CHI/UIST, Eurographics/EGSR/SGP/SCA/HPG/I3D), and whether to aim dual-track or Journal-only.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# SIGGRAPH Topic Selection Choosing SIGGRAPH — and the right cycle and track — before you write is a high-leverage decision, because SIGGRAPH's bar is a **graphics contribution shown through results**, and several sibling venues will serve a differently-shaped contribution better. This skill routes the project. Anchor venue facts to `resources/official-source-map.md`. ## Is it a graphics contribution? SIGGRAPH rewards work that advances how images, geometry, motion, or interactive experiences are **created, simulated, rendered, captured, or fabricated** — and demonstrates it on results a graphics audience can *see*. Apply three tests: 1. **The visual/temporal-result test.** Can the contribution be shown as an image, mesh, frame sequence, or interactive demo that a graphics reviewer judges by eye? If the payoff is a table of accuracy numbers with nothing to show, it is likely a vision or ML paper. 2. **The capability-axis test.** Does it move a graphics axis — quality, speed, generality, robustness, controllability? If there is no such axis, the contribution is not yet SIGGRAPH-shaped. 3. **The method-vs-application test.** Is the advance a reusable technique, or an application of a

What does the siggraph-topic-selection skill do?
Use before committing a project to SIGGRAPH / SIGGRAPH Asia / TOG, to decide whether the contribution is graphics-shaped and which venue and track fit, routing among SIGGRAPH, SIGGRAPH Asia, direct-to-TOG, and siblings (CVPR/ICCV, CHI/UIST, Eurographics/EGSR/SGP/SCA/HPG/I3D), and whether to aim dual-track or Journal-only.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill siggraph-topic-selection --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.
