What it does

Cikm Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning a CIKM project calendar across the May abstract/paper gates, June short-track gates, August notification and camera-ready, and the November conference, including the post-submission phase now live in the 2026 cycle, multi-track coordination, and fallback planning toward CIKM 2027 or sibling venues.

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 a CIKM project calendar across the May abstract/paper gates
  • June short-track gates
  • August notification and camera-ready
  • The November conference

Example prompts

  • “/cikm-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

Cikm Workflow loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 862 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
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.

Use when planning a CIKM project calendar across the May abstract/paper gates, June short-track gates, August notification and camera-ready, and the November conference, including the post-submission phase now live in the 2026 cycle, multi-track coordination, and fallback planning toward CIKM 2027 or sibling venues.

CIKM Workflow

CIKM runs a spring-submission, autumn-meeting year. The verified 2026 shape (source map, 2026-07-08): full-paper abstract May 16 and paper May 23; short, resource, and demo abstracts May 30 and papers June 6; notification for the listed tracks August 7; camera-ready August 20; conference November 7-11 in Rome — every cutoff 11:59 PM AoE. Replace these anchors with the current important-dates page before acting on any of them; CIKM re-issues its calendar annually under a new host committee.

Where the 2026 cycle stands now

As of 2026-07-08 all CIKM 2026 submission gates have closed. A team holding a submission is in the review-wait phase; a team without one is planning CIKM 2027. That split defines two working modes:

Mode A — paper under review (July → August 7). Do the work whose absence hurts in August: keep the experimental environment runnable rather than dismantled, pre-draft the camera-ready fixes you already know about, prepare the public artifact that the anonymized submission could not name, and hold arXiv or publicity moves that conflict with what was declared on the EasyChair form. If a response mechanism materializes (unconfirmed for 2026 — 待核实), cikm-author-response takes over on short notice.

Mode B — aiming at the next edition. The May/November rhythm is a planning prior only until the 2027 site posts dates. Build backward from a provisional mid-May gate and treat the abstract deadline as the real freeze: title, abstract, author list — authorship is frozen there under the ACM policy — and the track choice.

Backward plan to a May full-paper gate

Weeks before the paper deadlineMilestone for an IR/mining/KM paper
10Track chosen (cikm-topic-selection); datasets and baselines secured
7Core results in; mechanism ablations scheduled
5Draft in ACM two-column format — appendices count inside the budget, so measure now
3Internal read by someone from the other community lane the paper claims
1.5Abstract gate: final title/abstract/authors/track in EasyChair
1Anonymity sweep, GenAI Usage Disclosure section written, reviewer nomination assigned
0PDF upload; declared arXiv status matches reality

Two CIKM-specific traps in that table. First, the abstract deadline is one week before the paper deadline and freezes authorship — late collaborator additions are formally barred afterward. Second, the appendix-inside-the-limit rule means the "we'll move it to the appendix" reflex saves nothing; overflow must move to the cited artifact or be cut.

Multi-track coordination

Groups often carry a full paper, a resource paper, and a demo toward the same CIKM. Coordinate them: each needs its own EasyChair track selection and its own author-reviewer nomination (a missed nomination is a stated desk reject), each needs its own GenAI disclosure section, and the contributions must not overlap into self-plagiarism. Stagger internal deadlines — the full paper to the May gate, the short-form pieces to the June gate — so one team is not writing three papers in one week.

Role assignments that prevent CIKM-specific failures

The desk-reject triggers at this venue are administrative, so assign them to named people rather than to "the team":

RoleOwnsFailure it prevents
Form ownerEasyChair track choice, reviewer nomination, arXiv declarationThe two stated desk rejects
Budget ownerPage measurement with appendices counted inOverflow discovered at upload
Compliance ownerGenAI Usage Disclosure section, anonymity sweepACM AI-policy and blinding violations
Artifact ownerAnonymous review artifact → public release pathDead links at camera-ready
Logistics ownerRegistration, visa, presentation planningNovember scramble

One person may hold several roles on a small team; no role may be unheld. Log who holds what in the project tracker the day the track is chosen.

Cycle-verification ritual

Because CIKM re-platforms annually, open each new cycle with a thirty-minute verification pass before any planning meeting: locate the new host site from the series page (the domain will have changed), read the important-dates page and diff it against last year's rhythm, read the policies page for changed disclosure or nomination rules, and confirm the submission platform — EasyChair in 2026, but platform changes between editions are exactly the kind of fact teams assume wrongly. Write the findings into the project tracker with the access date, source map style. Every date in this skill is such a dated finding, not a rule.

Fallback ring

A CIKM rejection lands in early August, in time for WSDM's traditional late-summer gate (verify), ECIR in autumn, and SIGIR the following January. Log which lane the reviews faulted; that tells you whether the fix is more evidence (stay in the family) or a different audience (change family).

The conference itself is a work object

The November meeting deserves calendar time as more than a talk slot. CIKM's program concentrates the three communities this pack keeps invoking, plus the workshop day where next year's boundary topics surface first; treat attendance as pipeline work — scout which lanes are converging on your problem, note which tracks absorbed papers like the one you are planning, and talk to the resource authors whose datasets you will build on. For demo and applied authors the conference is part of the deliverable (booth time, live systems), which the logistics owner should plan for in the same tracker as the paper work.

Annual rhythm, compressed

text
Dec-Feb   route + build (topic selection, datasets, baselines)
Mar-Apr   results + draft in ACM format; internal cross-lane read
mid-May   abstract gate (freeze) → paper gate
June      short/resource/demo gates
Jul-early Aug   review wait = artifact + camera-ready prep (Mode A)
Aug       notification (7th in 2026) → 13-day camera-ready sprint (20th)
Sep-Oct   presentation prep, travel, demo hardening
Nov       conference; post-conference: absorb feedback, plan the next cycle

Dates shown are the verified 2026 instances; the shape recurs, the numbers do not.

Output format

text
[Mode] under-review wait / camera-ready sprint / next-edition build
[Next hard date] <date + which official page it came from>
[Freeze status] authorship frozen? track locked? artifact runnable?
