wacv-topic-selection
Use when deciding whether a project belongs at WACV or should route elsewhere, covering WACV's applications-first identity within the CVF's CVPR/ICCV/ECCV/WACV calendar, the Applications-vs-Algorithms track choice, whether the two-round winter timing fits your schedule, and routing to CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, 3DV, or a journal.

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

# WACV Topic Selection WACV is the **applications-first winter member** of the Computer Vision Foundation's four-venue calendar (CVPR in June, ICCV/ECCV alternating in autumn, WACV in winter). This skill decides *whether* to send a paper here — and, if so, *which track* — before other skills decide *how*. Facts are the WACV 2026/2027 cycles as read on 2026-07-09. ## The core question Ask two things in order. First: **is the contribution about applying computer vision to a real problem, or advancing vision method for its own sake?** WACV's name — *Applications of Computer Vision* — is a genuine editorial stance, and its Applications track exists to review systems that work under real constraints. Second: **does the winter, two-round calendar fit your timeline better than waiting for a single-deadline sibling?** A paper that is nearly ready in mid-summer can enter WACV Round 1 and, if close, be invited to revise — rather than sitting until the next CVPR cycle. ## Routing across the CVF calendar (from WACV's seat) | You have… | WACV-shaped if… | Route elsewhere if… | |---|---|---| | A vision system for a real domain (agriculture, medical, retail, robotics) under real constraints | The

What does the wacv-topic-selection skill do?
Use when deciding whether a project belongs at WACV or should route elsewhere, covering WACV's applications-first identity within the CVF's CVPR/ICCV/ECCV/WACV calendar, the Applications-vs-Algorithms track choice, whether the two-round winter timing fits your schedule, and routing to CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, 3DV, or a journal.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill wacv-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.
