Use before writing to decide whether a project belongs at ECAI versus IJCAI, AAAI, AAMAS, KR, or a pure-ML venue, and whether it should go to the ECAI main track or the co-located PAIS applications track — using contribution shape, the model-swap test, the European/general-AI fit, and the calendar (including the joint IJCAI-ECAI 2026 cycle).

From the source SKILL.md

Routing is the highest-leverage decision, made before writing. ECAI is EurAI's general-AI flagship — broad by design, spanning symbolic reasoning, KR, planning, search, multi-agent systems, ML, and applications. That breadth is a feature and a trap: many projects could go to ECAI, so the real question is whether ECAI is the best-matched home for your contribution and calendar, and whether it belongs in the main track or the co-located PAIS applications track.
