What it does

Cav Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning a CAV (Computer Aided Verification) project timeline from venue and category selection through submission, the two-stage review with early reject and rebuttal, artifact evaluation by the AEC, and the LNCS open-access camera-ready, with backward-planning offsets for a verification-tool paper and honest handling of the single-annual-deadline cycle.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 a CAV (Computer Aided Verification) project timeline from venue and category selection through submission
  • The two-stage review with early reject and rebuttal
  • Artifact evaluation by the AEC
  • The LNCS open-access camera-ready

Example prompts

  • “/cav-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

Cav Workflow loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 653 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 planning a CAV (Computer Aided Verification) project timeline from venue and category selection through submission, the two-stage review with early reject and rebuttal, artifact evaluation by the AEC, and the LNCS open-access camera-ready, with backward-planning offsets for a verification-tool paper and honest handling of the single-annual-deadline cycle.

CAV Workflow

Use this as the project-management skill for a CAV submission. Replace every date with the current official timetable and work backward from the AoE paper deadline. CAV publishes open access in Springer LNCS, reviews in two stages (an early-reject filter, then a rebuttal), and runs an optional artifact evaluation after notification — plan for all three, not just accept/reject.

CAV is a conference with no standing editor-in-chief; the rotating leadership is the per-edition Program Chairs and Steering Committee. For CAV 2026 the Program Chairs are Anthony W. Lin, Eva Darulova, and Philipp Rümmer (verified 2026-07-09), and the venue is Lisbon, part of FLoC 2026. Chairs rotate yearly; re-check the organization page rather than carrying a name forward.

Milestones

  • Venue + category fit: confirm CAV over TACAS/FMCAD/VMCAI and pick the category (Regular / Tool / Application / Industrial) (cav-topic-selection).
  • Evidence lock: freeze the theorem/algorithm, the benchmark set (revision pinned), the baseline tools and versions, the resource limits, and the artifact contents.
  • Submission: upload the LNCS-formatted PDF in the right category, anonymized if Regular or Application, with the artifact-intent declaration set (CAV 2026: 28 Jan 2026 AoE).
  • Stage-1 filter: each paper gets two reviews; weak papers are rejected early (tentative first-round outcome ~4 Mar 2026).
  • Rebuttal: papers passing stage 1 get two more reviews and an author-response window (CAV 2026: 30 Mar - 2 Apr 2026).
  • Notification: accept/reject (CAV 2026: 17 Apr 2026); archive all reviews and versions.
  • Artifact evaluation (optional): register and submit to the AEC on its own deadline (CAV 2026 artifact registration: 22 Apr 2026), pursuing Available / Functional / Reusable badges.
  • Camera-ready: prepare the LNCS open-access final version and complete Springer metadata and rights; present at the conference (CAV 2026: 26-29 Jul 2026, Lisbon / FLoC).

Backward plan from the submission deadline

Weeks out (heuristic)Verification-paper milestone
10+Technique/algorithm fixed; the soundness/completeness statement drafted
8Tool implemented and stable; benchmark set and baseline tools/versions chosen and pinned
6Full evaluation run under fixed resource limits; per-instance data and logs archived
4Full draft in llncs; proofs complete (in body or clearly-marked appendix); artifact assembled
3Internal mock review by a verification-literate reader; differential/soundness cross-check done
2Scope and limits sharpened; related-work delta tightened; page limit met
1Anonymity sweep on PDF and artifact (Regular/Application); artifact-intent decided
0Upload in the correct category via the live portal; re-download to confirm

These offsets are planning heuristics only — anchor every one to the current Important Dates page, never to a previous cycle's calendar.

The two-stage cycle: plan for the early reject

CAV's stage-1 filter means a paper can be rejected before the rebuttal ever happens. Two planning consequences:

  • The first two reviews must be able to defend the paper on their own. A contribution that only becomes convincing after the rebuttal may never reach stage 2. Make the soundness and the headline benchmark result legible in the first read.
  • Missing the annual deadline costs roughly a year at CAV. A sibling flagship (TACAS in spring, FMCAD, VMCAI) may have a nearer date — factor that into routing rather than idling (cav-topic-selection).

Failure modes by stage

  • Tool still unstable at week 6 forces a rushed evaluation nobody audited — the classic reproducibility/soundness doubt in the making.
  • Benchmarks or baselines unpinned means the comparison cannot be reproduced and the reviewer discounts the numbers.
  • Leaving anonymization to the final week (Regular/Application) is how a solver name or a benchmark path leaks identity under double-blind review.
  • Treating stage 1 as a formality and saving the strongest framing for the rebuttal forfeits the paper before the rebuttal exists.
  • Assuming artifact evaluation is required — it is optional and non-conditional at CAV; plan it, but do not block the camera-ready on it.

Coordination notes

  • Assign one owner for the artifact (benchmarks, versions, seeds, resource limits) and another for the anonymity sweep; shared ownership is how both slip.
  • Archive the exact submitted PDF, the artifact, and (later) the rebuttal — a stage-2 review and any camera-ready must quote them precisely.
