Example prompts

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

Cikm Review Process loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 824 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
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.

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 CIKM peer review — the EasyChair double-blind pipeline, the mixed IR/data-mining/knowledge-management reviewer pool, per-track evaluation criteria, the ACM Peer Review Policy including the no-AI-written-reviews rule, notification timing, and what actually moves borderline decisions.

CIKM Review Process

CIKM review runs on EasyChair under double-blind rules, inside the ACM Peer Review Policy, and — its defining feature — in front of a reviewer pool drawn from three communities at once. Verified 2026 mechanics (source map, 2026-07-08): submissions closed in May/June, notification lands August 7, and referees are explicitly barred from using AI systems to write reviews. Whether 2026 includes an author response window is unconfirmed in either direction (待核实); plan without assuming one.

The blended-pool effect

A CIKM paper is typically read by people whose default standards differ:

Reviewer's home laneWhat they instinctively gradeComplaint they file most
Information retrievalEvaluation design, baselines, metric discipline"Baselines are stale / significance untested"
Data miningMechanism novelty, scalability, ablation logic"Delta over the nearest KDD-line method unclear"
KM / databasesData model, integration cost, system realism"Would not survive real schema/scale/noise"

The practical consequence: a paper optimized for one lane can draw its harshest review from another. Write the submission so each lane finds its own checklist satisfied — a defensible evaluation, an isolated mechanism, and a credible data story — or explicitly scope the claim to the lanes it serves. This is also why the reviewer-pool breadth rewards two-lane papers (see cikm-topic-selection): they give more of the panel a reason to champion.

Per-track criteria shift

The five tracks are judged against different success definitions. Full Research is graded on novelty plus evidence depth; Short Research on the sharpness of a single finding, not breadth; Applied Research on the credibility of deployment evidence (launch, data release) and transferable lessons; Resource on documentation, licensing, and likely reuse; Demonstration on what a visitor can actually do with the prototype. Reviewing a submission against the wrong track's bar — the most common self-review error — produces both false confidence and false alarm.

What moves a borderline

  • A champion, not an average. With three lanes in the room, a decided advocate who says "my community needs this" outweighs a slightly higher mean score.
  • Unanswered lane-specific objections sink. A mining reviewer's unaddressed scalability question reads as a gap even if both IR reviewers scored high.
  • Compliance is upstream of merit. The 2026 desk-reject set — missed reviewer nomination, undeclared public version, budget or anonymity violations, missing GenAI disclosure — removes papers before any lane weighs in.
  • Chairs calibrate across tracks. Meta-decisions reconcile the lanes; a review that misread the track's bar can be discounted at that level, which is why a polite confidential-comments note on track fit (where the form allows one) is occasionally decisive.

Timeline realism for the live cycle

Between the June close and the August 7 notification there is no author-visible activity by default. Do not read silence as signal; do not email chairs for status; do use the window as cikm-workflow Mode A prescribes (artifact readiness, camera-ready pre-drafting). If a response phase is announced mid-cycle, it will be short — pre-agree within the team who drafts and who signs off.

Reading a CIKM review packet

When reviews arrive, decode them by lane before reacting:

text
For each review:
  1. Identify the lane from the vocabulary
     ("nDCG/baselines/collections" → IR; "novelty/ablation/scale" → mining;
      "schema/provenance/real data" → KM-DB)
  2. Separate lane-standard demands (must answer) from
     lane-mismatch complaints (may be a track/framing misread)
  3. Rank objections by whether a chair would treat them as blocking:
     correctness > missing decisive evidence > positioning > polish

Two panel patterns worth recognizing. Split-by-lane scores (one lane high, one low) usually mean the paper is legible to only part of the panel — a framing problem more than an evidence problem, fixable at the next venue with cikm-writing-style. Uniform middling scores usually mean the contribution is understood and judged thin — an evidence problem no rewrite fixes.

Confidentiality and integrity boundaries

The ACM Peer Review Policy governs both directions. Authors must not attempt reviewer identification, contact reviewers, or publicize review text with intent to pressure; reviewers must keep submissions confidential and — a 2026-explicit rule — must not have AI systems write their reviews. If a review appears AI-generated or plainly template-pasted, the recourse is a factual, unemotional note to the program chairs, not a public thread. Chairs can and do recalibrate around a defective review; they cannot around an author who breached process.

After the decision

Accepted papers move to cikm-camera-ready with an August 20 camera-ready gate — thirteen days after notification, one of the tightest turnarounds in the family. Rejected papers should mine the tri-lane reviews for routing information: lane- specific objections point to the venue whose community wrote them, which is exactly the input cikm-workflow's fallback ring consumes.

Scale realities

CIKM is one of the largest venues in its family — its proceedings run to many hundreds of papers across tracks (exact counts per edition: check the ACM DL record; 2026 statistics 待核实) — which shapes review dynamics in ways small selective venues do not: reviewer load is high, so the first page carries even more of the verdict (cikm-writing-style); topical match between paper and reviewer is looser than at a single-community venue, which is why the abstract's lane-vocabulary steers bidding; and per-track sub-committees (applied, resource, demo) apply genuinely different rubrics rather than one program committee's taste. Acceptance statistics for the current cycle were not verifiable (待核实) — do not quote a rate to calibrate hopes; calibrate on whether each lane's blocking question has an answer inside the PDF.

Output format

text
[Stage] pre-notification / notified-accept / notified-reject / response-window(if any)
[Lane read] IR / mining / KM-DB — likely stance of each on this paper
[Sharpest objection] <the one unanswered question most able to sink it>
[Compliance state] clean / at-risk (which trigger)
[Next move] <single highest-leverage action given the stage>
