What it does

Acl Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning an ACL project calendar across ACL Rolling Review cycles, covering cycle selection against conference commitment windows, backward planning from an ARR deadline, the review-response-meta-review timeline, commitment decisions, resubmission loops to later cycles, and camera-ready through ACL Anthology publication.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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

  • Planning an ACL project calendar across ACL Rolling Review cycles
  • Covering cycle selection against conference commitment windows
  • Backward planning from an ARR deadline
  • The review-response-meta-review timeline

Example prompts

  • “/acl-workflow”

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 Workflow loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 850 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

description
Use when planning an ACL project calendar across ACL Rolling Review cycles, covering cycle selection against conference commitment windows, backward planning from an ARR deadline, the review-response-meta-review timeline, commitment decisions, resubmission loops to later cycles, and camera-ready through ACL Anthology publication.

ACL Workflow

Use this as the project-management layer for an ACL paper. Unlike one-deadline conferences, ACL runs on a cycle-and-commit rhythm: pick an ARR cycle, ride its ~10-week review train, then decide at the commitment window whether to send the package to the conference or loop back for another cycle.

ACL is a conference with rotating per-edition program committees, not a journal: there is no standing editor and no APC. Costs are registration-based, and Anthology publication is free and open access.

The 2026 rhythm as a worked anchor

ACL 2026 (64th edition, San Diego, July 2-7, 2026) drew from the ARR October 2025 and January 2026 cycles:

MilestoneDate (verified for ACL 2026)
ARR January cycle submissionJanuary 5, 2026
Reviews + meta-reviews to authorsby March 9-10, 2026
Commitment to ACL 2026March 14, 2026
Acceptance notificationApril 4, 2026
Camera-readyApril 19, 2026
ConferenceJuly 2-7, 2026

Which cycle reaches which conference

The commitment table is the part authors get wrong, because it is set by ARR and not by the conference: a cycle can only commit to the venues ARR lists against it, so "I will aim for ACL" is a decision about which month to submit to ARR, often two or three cycles ahead. As published on aclrollingreview.org/dates (re-read 2026-08-27):

VenueFinal ARR submissionCommitment
EMNLP 2026 · AACL 2026May 25, 2026August 2, 2026
EACL 2027August 3, 2026October 11, 2026
NAACL 2027 · COLING 2027October 12, 2026December 20, 2026
ACL 2027 (Kyoto, Aug 17-22, 2027)January 2027not yet posted

Two things follow that a reader working from the 2026 anchor above would get wrong. No 2026 cycle reaches ACL 2027 — the October 12 slot, the last one on the 2026 calendar, commits to NAACL and COLING. And the October 2026 cycle publishes only its submission date and its cycle end (December 20); every date in between is still TBA, so a plan that needs a known author-response window cannot use it yet.

Every date here is cycle-volatile, including the ones that are printed: re-read aclrollingreview.org/dates before committing a team to any of them.

Choosing a cycle

  • Work backward from the conference you want: each *ACL conference announces which cycles it accepts commitments from. The earlier eligible cycle buys a free resubmission shot at the same conference if reviews go badly.
  • A cycle deadline you hit with a rushed paper is worse than the next cycle hit with a finished one — reviews persist and follow resubmissions.
  • Mind the response window inside the cycle (a few days, roughly five weeks after submission): the team must be available then, not just at submission.

The resubmission loop

text
cycle N reviews weak?
  -> revise (new experiments, rescoped claims)
  -> cycle N+1 submission WITH: link to prior submission,
     change summary, point-by-point response to old weaknesses
  -> commit the stronger package to the next eligible conference

Budget one loop into any plan that matters: the modal strong ACL paper today has seen two cycles. Skipping the revision note is a desk reject; a floor meta-review score forbids quick resubmission without wholesale revision.

Post-decision branches

  • Main conference: camera-ready sprint (see acl-camera-ready), registration, presentation prep, artifact release.
  • Findings: same camera-ready track; decide early on the presentation option the edition offers and whether to present at an affiliated workshop.
  • Reject: hold a post-mortem against the meta-review within a week while context is fresh; choose next cycle + venue deliberately, not reflexively.

Coordination rules that save cycles

  • One owner for the checklist, one for anonymity, one for the supplement — the three most common last-day failures are all ownerless tasks.
  • Freeze a "submitted" tag in the repo: the author response may only cite what that tag contains.
  • Calendar the response window and the commitment deadline the day you submit; both are short and both are missable.

Running multiple papers through the machine

  • Stagger sibling papers across cycles rather than stacking one deadline: the response windows will otherwise collide, and response quality is the highest-leverage hour-for-hour work in the pipeline.
  • Track each paper as (cycle, state, target venue, fallback venue) — the fallback is a real decision because commitment windows do not wait.
  • Reuse infrastructure deliberately: one anonymization script, one checklist template pre-filled with lab defaults, one supplement layout.
  • Reviewer-duty obligations may attach to submissions in current cycles; budget senior-author reviewing time into the same calendar (verify the current cycle's policy — this has changed over the years).

Signals to re-plan immediately

  • The dates page announces a cycle-structure change (it has happened multiple times; 10-week cycles arrived only in May 2025).
  • Your target conference posts its eligible-cycle list and your intended cycle is not on it.
  • Reviews arrive with a fixable core objection and the next cycle's deadline is within two weeks — a rushed loop beats a stale package only if the fix is genuinely small.
  • A competing preprint lands mid-cycle: plan the response-window framing and the camera-ready citation now, not at notification.
