Learning & Documentation

Positions ESEC/FSE software engineering research papers against prior literature using delta-first contrasts and double-anonymous citation auditing.

The FSE Related Work skill helps academic researchers structure and audit the related work section for ACM ESEC/FSE submissions. It ensures rigorous positioning against primary software engineering venues—including ICSE, ASE, ISSTA, MSR, TSE, TOSEM, and EMSE—by emphasizing delta-first contrasts instead of passive summaries. The skill also audits double-anonymity compliance, helps declare concurrent preprints or prior workshop versions, and detects novelty gaps before submission.

Key Features

01Ensures double-anonymity compliance in citations and self-references
021,079 GitHub stars
03Audits coverage across core SE literature lanes (ICSE, ASE, ISSTA, MSR, TSE, TOSEM)
04Produces structured novelty and eligibility audit reports for FSE reviewers
05Generates delta-first positioning statements against nearest prior research
06Identifies potential archival overlap with prior workshops or concurrent preprints

Use Cases

01Drafting the related work section for an ESEC/FSE software engineering conference submission
02Auditing citation coverage and literature lanes to avoid reviewer rejections
03Formulating crisp delta-first novelty claims contrasting tools, empirical studies, or techniques
