What it does

Colm Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning a COLM submission campaign across the calendar — working backward from the late-March abstract and paper deadlines through the May-June rebuttal, July decisions, August camera-ready, and October conference, coordinating co-authors, compute, and reciprocal-reviewing duties, and slotting COLM into a multi-venue LM-research pipeline.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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

  • August camera-ready
  • October conference
  • Coordinating co-authors
  • Reciprocal-reviewing duties

Example prompts

  • “/colm-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

Colm Workflow loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 778 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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 a COLM submission campaign across the calendar — working backward from the late-March abstract and paper deadlines through the May-June rebuttal, July decisions, August camera-ready, and October conference, coordinating co-authors, compute, and reciprocal-reviewing duties, and slotting COLM into a multi-venue LM-research pipeline.

COLM Workflow

COLM gives you exactly one shot per year: one deadline (late March in 2026), one rebuttal, one decision (early July), one October stage. Campaign planning is therefore mostly backward induction from March — and, because LM projects burn compute and involve many hands, the critical path is usually GPUs and co-author availability, not writing.

The 2026 cycle as a template (all dates verified 2026-07-08)

Date (2026)EventWhat must already be true
FebruaryOpenReview opensProfiles current for every author
March 26Abstract deadlineReal abstract; reciprocal reviewer chosen
March 31Full paper deadlineFrozen claims, pinned evidence, anonymized package
May 22Reviews releasedResponse owners pre-assigned; cache warm
May 22 - June 8Rebuttal~18 days; plan in colm-author-response
July 8DecisionsBoth branches pre-planned
August 7Camera-readyPublic artifacts ready to ship simultaneously
October 6-9Conference, San FranciscoPresenter, visa, poster all handled

Live-phase note: on this pack's access date — 2026-07-08 — the 2026 cycle is at decision day. If that is you, jump to colm-camera-ready or the reject branch in colm-review-process. If you are planning fresh work, you are planning COLM 2027: dates unannounced (待核实), with late March the reasonable working assumption to be corrected the moment colmweb.org posts the real calendar.

Backward plan from a March deadline

text
T-20w (Nov)  route the project (colm-topic-selection); if COLM, freeze the
             one-sentence finding and the evaluation design — contamination
             handling decided NOW, not retrofitted (colm-experiments)
T-16w (Dec)  compute budget locked: training runs, eval sweeps, API spend;
             book cluster time — March demand is when everyone else trains too
T-12w (Jan)  main experiments running; pinning discipline live from day one
             (colm-reproducibility); related-work lanes assigned (colm-related-work)
T-8w  (Feb)  full draft v1; internal red-team review against the four attacks;
             OpenReview profiles + reciprocal-reviewer map done when the venue opens
T-4w  (Mar)  freeze claims; kill or hedge anything unverified; build the
             anonymized package (colm-supplementary)
T-1w         abstract in (Mar 26); mechanical sweeps; co-author policy items
T-0   (Mar 31) upload; re-download; read cold

Two LM-specific scheduling truths: evaluation takes as long as training once you include prompt-sensitivity runs, multiple families, and CI-grade sampling — budget it explicitly; and the February cluster crunch is real — every LM group targets the same spring deadlines, so compute reserved in December is worth double compute begged for in March.

Coordination artifacts for a multi-author LM paper

  • A claims ledger — every claim, its owner, its evidence status (verified / running / at-risk). The T-4w freeze operates on this ledger.
  • A reciprocal-reviewing map — who is nominated for which submission across the whole group's March portfolio; the same person cannot cover two papers, and anyone on 4+ submissions is drafted into the pool regardless.
  • A policy checklist per co-author — OpenReview profile, Code of Ethics acknowledgment, LLM-usage disclosure input. These are the tasks only their owners can do, which is what makes them deadline risks.
  • A decision-tree memo written before July: if accept → who runs camera-ready and the artifact release in the August-vacation month; if reject → target venue (autumn ICLR? next NeurIPS? COLM 2027?) and which review criticisms gate the resubmission.

Slotting COLM into the venue year

COLM's March deadline sits after the ICLR decision (winter) and before the NeurIPS deadline (spring), which creates the standard LM-group rotation: ICLR reject → strengthen → COLM; COLM reject (July) → strengthen → ICLR (autumn). Use the rotation deliberately, with colm-topic-selection as the gate each time — a paper bouncing between venues unchanged is not a strategy, it is a queue.

The small-lab variant

The plan above assumes a group; a two-person or advisor-student team runs the same calendar with different bottlenecks:

ConstraintAdaptation
No compute reserveAnchor claims on open-weight models small enough to rerun; design the paper so API spend is evaluation-only and capped
One person does everythingThe T-4w claim freeze becomes T-6w; the last month is writing and packaging only
No internal red teamTrade cold reads with a neighboring group in February — the four-attacks review (colm-experiments) does not require seniority, only distance
Advisor bandwidthBook the advisor's full-draft read for a named week in February; "when it's ready" means March 29
Single submissionReciprocal-reviewing is simpler (one nominee) but the 4+ auto-draft rule may still catch a prolific advisor — check

The compensating advantage: small teams pivot. If January experiments kill the framing, a two-person team can re-route to a workshop or the autumn cycle without a committee meeting — take that exit deliberately rather than limping to March.

Failure patterns this calendar produces

  • Evaluation designed after training finishes → contamination handling becomes an apology instead of a design (start it at T-20w).
  • Abstract stub on March 26 → bad reviewer matching that no rebuttal can fix.
  • Rebuttal window discovered at review-release → the 18 days start with three days of panic; pre-assign owners in March.
  • August camera-ready month colliding with vacations → name the owner in July.

Workshop track as a parallel lane

COLM's workshop day (October 9 in 2026) runs its own later calendar — in 2026, workshop proposals were due April 14, and contributed workshop papers had a suggested June 23 deadline with mandatory notification by July 24. For work that misses March or is not archival-ready, the workshop lane keeps the project inside the COLM community's October gathering without burning the main-track shot — and a workshop audience in October is the best red team a March 2027 main-track version will ever get. Check each workshop's own pages; their deadlines and archival status vary (待核实 per workshop).
