SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

It helps you determine the CCF level (A/B/C) and category/area for a conference or journal venue, reducing the time spent manually checking and cross-referencing ranking sources.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Venue rank lookup (conference/journal): Returns the CCF type (conference or journal), rank (A/B/C), area, canonical venue name, and DBLP URL for a given abbreviation or full name.
  • Year-partitioned reference dataset: Uses references/<year>/rankings.json with references/<year>/excluded_venues.json to keep results aligned to a specific CCF edition/year.
  • Batch and ambiguity handling: Supports filtering by --type and --rank and surfaces top candidates when multiple matches are plausible.

Example use case: You need to confirm whether CVPR is CCF A or B for a particular year, and you want a reliable DBLP link to cite in a submission.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run the skill by querying a venue, for example: "Look up the CCF rank and area for CVPR in 2026."
