What it does

Acl Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about how an ACL paper travels through ACL Rolling Review and conference commitment, covering reviewer and area-chair roles, meta-reviews, the commitment decision by senior area chairs and program chairs, Findings versus main-conference outcomes, ethics review escalation, and resubmission strategy across cycles.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Covering reviewer and area-chair roles

  • Findings versus main-conference outcomes

  • “/acl-review-process”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. ARR cycle intake: submission on OpenReview to a dated cycle (e.g.,
  2. Review: at least three reviewers score and write reviews.
  3. Author response + discussion: authors reply; reviewers discuss and may

  7. Ethics branch: papers flagged during review go to an ethics committee,

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Acl Review Process loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 705 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Use when reasoning about how an ACL paper travels through ACL Rolling Review and conference commitment, covering reviewer and area-chair roles, meta-reviews, the commitment decision by senior area chairs and program chairs, Findings versus main-conference outcomes, ethics review escalation, and resubmission strategy across cycles.

ACL Review Process

Use this to model where an ACL paper actually is and who decides what next. ACL decoupled reviewing from the conference: ARR produces the review package; the conference consumes it. Confirm current mechanics at aclrollingreview.org/reviewing, since cycle structure has changed repeatedly (most recently to 10-week cycles in 2025).

The pipeline, stage by stage

  1. ARR cycle intake: submission on OpenReview to a dated cycle (e.g., ARR January 2026); checks for format, Limitations, checklist, anonymity.
  2. Review: at least three reviewers score and write reviews.
  3. Author response + discussion: authors reply; reviewers discuss and may update reviews (see acl-author-response).
  4. Meta-review: the action editor / area chair synthesizes reviews into a meta-review with a recommendation. Notably, ARR senior area chairs do not make accept/reject recommendations — that authority sits with the venue.
  5. Commitment: authors choose whether and where to send the finished package — ACL, or another *ACL venue accepting that cycle.
  6. Venue decision: the conference's senior area chairs and program chairs read reviews + meta-review and decide: main conference, Findings, or reject.
  7. Ethics branch: papers flagged during review go to an ethics committee, which can require revisions or recommend rejection on ACL Code of Ethics grounds independent of technical merit.

Venue SACs + PCsMain/Findings/reject from the ARR packageRe-run the reviewing itself
Ethics committeeEthics-based conditions or rejectionJudge technical contribution

Outcomes and what they mean

  • Main conference: full acceptance with a presentation slot.
  • Findings of ACL: peer-reviewed, Anthology-published acceptance for solid work that missed the main-program bar; typically without a main-stage oral. Citation-wise Findings papers perform respectably — treat it as a real publication decision, not a consolation to appeal.
  • Reject at commitment: the ARR reviews remain attached to the paper's history; a stronger resubmission through a later cycle is the designed path.

Reading your review package strategically

  • Weigh the meta-review over individual scores: it is the document venue chairs actually read.
  • A package with one detailed negative review and a meta-review that endorses the objection rarely survives commitment — fix the objection in a new cycle instead of shopping the package to another venue unchanged.
  • Conversely, mediocre scores with a meta-review noting resolved concerns can be worth committing: the venue decision is made on the whole record.
  • A meta-review score at the floor triggers the resubmission constraint: within six months, only a wholesale revision avoids desk rejection.

Venue-shopping within the ARR ecosystem

The same review package can be committed to exactly one venue at a time, but a rejected or withheld package can target a later conference (EMNLP, EACL, NAACL, AACL) whose commitment window accepts that cycle. Sequence deliberately: each conference publishes which ARR cycles it accepts, and reviews age — a package built on a two-cycle-old baseline set gets punished at commitment.

Anatomy of one 10-week cycle

text
week 0      submission deadline (AoE)
weeks 1-2   desk checks; reviewer + AC assignment
weeks 3-5   reviewing
week 5      reviews released -> author response (a few days)
week 6      reviewer discussion; reviews may be updated
weeks 7-8   meta-review written
~week 10    package complete -> commitment window for eligible venues

Offsets drift by cycle; the January 2026 cycle ran Jan 5 → reviews by early March → ACL 2026 commitment March 14. Always re-derive from the current dates page.

Reading reviewer language for what it predicts

  • "The contribution is unclear" from two reviewers predicts a meta-review hedge — fix framing in the response, not just individual complaints.
  • "Missing citation X, Y, Z" alone rarely sinks a paper; the same list attached to "novelty over X is marginal" usually does.
  • A confident low-score review with factual errors is the best target for a review-issue flag plus a surgical rebuttal.
  • Uniform middling scores with short reviews often mean poor reviewer fit; at commitment, venue chairs weigh the meta-review's own reading more — make sure the response arms the AC with the paper's best case.

Confidentiality and conduct boundaries

  • Review content is confidential to the cycle; quoting reviews publicly (even anonymized) before decisions violates ARR expectations.
  • Contacting reviewers or guessing identities is out of bounds; all communication flows through the OpenReview thread and the AC.
  • Authors are bound by the ACL code of ethics throughout — including in how the author response characterizes reviewers' competence.
  • Deadlines inside the cycle (response, discussion) are short and rarely extended; plan around them rather than requesting exceptions.
