select-venue is a skill for Claude Code from ShaishavMaisuria/research-paper-lifecycle-skills. It costs 128 tokens per session (1,690 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A paper-submission planner that ranks conferences and journals, including specific tracks, for a research paper.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to compare venue-track options, check paper fit, and consider rankings, deadlines, page limits, acceptance rates, or travel constraints.
Why use it?
It turns a broad “where should I submit?” question into a shortlist based on the paper, constraints, venue information, and submission details.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

select-venue scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/dblp_venue_lookup.py, scripts/list_venues.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Select Venue

Turn "where should I submit this paper?" into a ranked shortlist of venue-track pairs with scores, deadlines, page budgets, and an explicit verification status — grounded in the repo's venues/ profiles, not vibes.

When to use

  • The user asks where to submit a paper, for target-venue recommendations, or to compare candidate venues/tracks.
  • The user asks "does my paper fit venue X?" or "research track or industry track?"
  • The user mentions CORE rank, h5-index, CCF class, acceptance rates, or upcoming CS conference deadlines in a submission-planning context.

Not for: parsing one specific CFP into a profile (parse-cfp), adapting a draft to an already-chosen venue (tailor-to-venue), or pre-submission compliance checks (preflight-check).

Inputs

  • Topic — one or two sentences on what the paper is about.
  • Contribution type — classify using references/track-fit.md; ask the user if ambiguous.
  • Constraints — earliest realistic submission date, prestige goals (and whether CCF class matters), page-budget reality of the current draft, blind-level conflicts (e.g. an already-public preprint), travel/registration constraints.
  • Venue datavenues/conferences/*.yml profiles (schema in venues/schema.yml), surfaced by scripts/list_venues.py.

Process

  1. Elicit the inputs. Confirm topic, contribution type, and constraints in one round of questions. The contribution type changes the shortlist more than the topic — pin it down first (references/track-fit.md, "Contribution taxonomy").

  2. Survey profiled venues. Run:

    python3 scripts/list_venues.py
    

    This lists every profile with deadline proximity, blind level, submission system, and per-track page budgets, sorted by next upcoming submission deadline. Useful flags: --upcoming-only, --family <name>, --track <name>, --json (full data incl. track notes), --today YYYY-MM-DD (reproducible runs). Never compute date arithmetic by hand. Caveat: some venues (e.g. SIGSPATIAL) have per-track deadlines that differ from the top-level ones — they live in each track's notes field; read them in the --json output.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
