webconf-related-work
Use when positioning a Web Conference (WWW) submission against prior literature — tracing lineage through three decades of WWW proceedings, contrasting with the WSDM/CIKM/SIGIR/KDD sibling circuit, handling the venue's preprint-non-citation rule, and budgeting references against the shared 12-page PDF tail.

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.
# Web Conference Related Work Related work at this venue does two jobs the generic version skips: it proves the paper knows its **WWW lineage** (the series runs to 1994, and many web problems have decade-old ancestors reviewers personally remember), and it draws the line against the **sibling circuit** — WSDM, CIKM, SIGIR, KDD, ICWSM, WebSci — whose reviewer pools overlap heavily with the track panels judging you. ## Lineage first, novelty second Web research recycles its problems as the platform layer changes: link spam → social spam → LLM-generated content; PageRank-era graph analysis → network embeddings → graph neural networks; forum mining → microblog mining → short-video mining. A strong related-work section names the lineage explicitly and locates the contribution at the *newest turn*: ```text Weak: "Graph embedding has been widely studied [3,7,12,19]." Strong: "Web-graph representation moved from link-analysis scores through embedding objectives (LINE, WWW 2015) to message-passing models (HAN, WWW 2019); all assume a static snapshot. Our setting -- edges arriving from a live crawl -- breaks that assumption because ..." ``` The pattern: two or three named waypoints with venu

What does the webconf-related-work skill do?
Use when positioning a Web Conference (WWW) submission against prior literature — tracing lineage through three decades of WWW proceedings, contrasting with the WSDM/CIKM/SIGIR/KDD sibling circuit, handling the venue's preprint-non-citation rule, and budgeting references against the shared 12-page PDF tail.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill webconf-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.
