Use when building the related-work and citation apparatus of a FOCS (IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science) paper — tracing result lineages across the FOCS/STOC record, citing arXiv/ECCC full versions with version pins, handling concurrent preprints, and keeping self-citation double-blind-safe.

# FOCS Related Work

At FOCS the bibliography sits inside the guaranteed-read set — the 2026 CFP
promises committee attention to the abstract, the references, and the first
ten pages (checked 2026-07-08). Theory reviewers routinely open a submission's
reference list first, to place the paper in a lineage they already know. This
skill treats related work as lineage engineering, not as a courtesy section.

## The lineage table
