Skill UI

A comprehensive coaching guide for advancing careers in the technology industry, covering roles like Software Engineering, Data Science, and Product Management. It provides actionable strategies for resume optimization (ATS format), technical interview preparation (Algorithms, System Design, Behavioral), salary negotiation, and navigating complex career paths (IC vs. Management). It adapts advice to both global (FAANG) and Chinese tech ecosystems.

Act as a constructive critic and rigorous stress-tester for any idea, proposal, or strategy. This mode systematically challenges underlying assumptions, identifies technical and market edge cases, anticipates diverse stakeholder objections (engineering, leadership, legal), and suggests actionable mitigations. Use it when you need a multi-faceted, robust evaluation to strengthen your plan before committing resources.

This guide details the required process for authors responding to ASE (Automated Software Engineering) reviews. It distinguishes between the initial rebuttal and the formal, criteria-bound summary-of-changes required during a revision round. Key principles include maintaining double-anonymity, systematically addressing every reviewer criterion, and focusing on decision-critical points.

A comprehensive guide detailing the complete academic review pipeline for IEEE/ACM Automated Software Engineering (ASE) submissions. It explains unique stages like the early-rejection gate, the criteria-bound revision process, and the difference between ASE's cycle and those of peer conferences (e.g., ICSE, FSE). Essential reading for authors aiming to submit high-quality research in automatic software engineering.

This comprehensive guide assists researchers targeting Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T) submissions. It provides detailed heuristics on journal positioning, scope fit, required mechanistic rigor, data presentation standards, and structural elements. Use this checklist to re-frame and strengthen your manuscript before submission, ensuring alignment with the journal's high standards in environmental chemistry, green engineering, and environmental science.

This guide teaches authors how to strategically position their research contribution within the highly multidisciplinary scope of Environmental Science & Technology (ES&T). It emphasizes framing the knowledge gap as a process, attribution, or mechanistic question, requiring engagement across adjacent fields like chemistry, engineering, toxicology, and policy, thereby ensuring novelty and depth for review panels.

This guide offers advanced methodological advice for structuring the 'Related Work' section for top-tier theoretical computer science conferences (like FOCS). It teaches researchers how to treat research history as 'lineage engineering,' requiring precise citation of specific preprints (arXiv version pinning), distinguishing between conference and journal versions, and transparently addressing concurrent results. This ensures the bibliography is rigorous, consistent, and withstands expert review.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting to top-tier Software Engineering (SE) conferences (like FSE, ICSE). It details how to structure the Related Work section by focusing on the 'delta'—the unique difference—between your work and prior art. It emphasizes covering the full SE literature landscape, maintaining anonymity, and correctly declaring overlaps with concurrent or prior versions.

This guide provides a comprehensive framework for building verifiable reproducibility evidence for academic manuscripts. It instructs authors on critical engineering disciplines, including freezing environment dependencies, controlling random seeds, versioning datasets and models, and creating anonymous, self-contained running materials that stand up to rigorous external peer review.

This guide provides a comprehensive checklist for writing and refining technical papers for the Journal of Software (JOS). It covers structuring the abstract, mastering the introduction narrative arc, ensuring terminology consistency, and adhering to strict citation standards (GB/T 7714). Use this when submitting a draft to a Chinese academic journal, aiming to transform the manuscript into a highly polished, professional piece that meets the rigorous standards of the Chinese software engineering community.

A comprehensive guide for authors submitting technical papers to top compiler and systems conferences (like PLDI). It teaches how to structure an argument as a rigorous engineering case, focusing on stating the 'hard case' first, describing mechanisms rather than using adjectives, and ensuring every claim is directly backed by evidence throughout the paper.

A comprehensive guide for positioning academic papers in highly competitive technical fields, particularly networking and distributed systems. Learn how to systematically sweep major venues (SIGCOMM, NSDI, MobiCom, etc.), rigorously prove every prior work via dblp/ACM DL, and articulate clear novelty by distinguishing core mechanisms from mere engineering polish. Essential for top-tier conference submissions.
