What it does

Conext Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning an ACM CoNEXT campaign backward from a deadline, covering the choice between the December and June submission cycles, the mandatory registration step, the one-shot major-revision window, the reproducibility badge opt-in due at submission, PACMNET camera-ready, and presentation — all on CoNEXT's distinctive two-cycles-per-year calendar.

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.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Reproducible research. 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 ACM CoNEXT campaign backward from a deadline
  • Covering the choice between the December and June submission cycles
  • The mandatory registration step
  • The one-shot major-revision window

Example prompts

  • “/conext-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

Conext Workflow loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 314 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~93
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 an ACM CoNEXT campaign backward from a deadline, covering the choice between the December and June submission cycles, the mandatory registration step, the one-shot major-revision window, the reproducibility badge opt-in due at submission, PACMNET camera-ready, and presentation — all on CoNEXT's distinctive two-cycles-per-year calendar.

CoNEXT Workflow

Plan the whole campaign backward from the cutoff. CoNEXT's defining feature is two submission cycles a year — a December deadline and a June deadline — both feeding one annual program and one rolling PACMNET volume. The first decision is therefore not "when do I write?" but "which cycle am I targeting, and is my evidence ready for it?" Every date below is the CoNEXT 2026 snapshot read on 2026-07-09 (see ../../resources/official-source-map.md); reopen the live Important Dates page before committing.

Choose the cycle

text
[December cycle]  register 5 Dec 2025 -> submit 12 Dec 2025 -> early-reject Feb 2026
                  -> notify 31 Mar 2026 -> camera-ready 30 Apr 2026 -> June 2026 PACMNET issue
   (major revision path) revision due 29 May 2026 -> resubmit 5 Jun 2026 -> camera-ready 31 Jul 2026
[June cycle]      submit 5 Jun 2026 -> (its own review round, notification, and later PACMNET issue)
  • Target the nearer honest deadline your evidence is actually ready for. A half-finished testbed campaign rushed into December scores worse than a complete one in June.
  • If you earn a one-shot major revision in the December cycle, the resubmission lands in the spring — so the two cycles are two entry points into the same program, not two separate conferences.
  • Both cycles publish in PACMNET; the issue you land in depends on your cycle and revision path.

Backward plan from a chosen cutoff (T = submission day)

text
T minus 12-16 weeks  Lock the contribution and the evaluation platform (testbed/deployment/trace).
                     Run conext-topic-selection: CoNEXT vs SIGCOMM/NSDI/IMC, and December vs June.
T minus 8-12 weeks   Build evidence with conext-experiments + conext-reproducibility. Pin traces,
                     configs, firmware/OS versions NOW — they cannot be reconstructed later.
T minus 4-8 weeks    Draft against conext-writing-style and the worked example. Positioning with
                     conext-related-work. Decide the body/appendix/artifact split (conext-supplementary).
T minus 2 weeks      Freeze the body. Build the anonymized artifact. Decide badging.
T minus 1 week       REGISTER (title/abstract/authors/conflicts). OPT IN for the reproducibility
                     badge before the submission deadline if you want it.
T minus 1-2 days     conext-submission end to end: acmart budget, double-anonymous sweep, HotCRP
                     fields, conflicts.
T                    Submit; re-download and read the uploaded PDF cold.

After submission

text
[Early-reject window]   Some cycles notify clearly-below-bar papers partway through. No action but
                        to plan the next cycle or a sibling venue if it comes.
[Reviews / discussion]  Two rounds + TPC meeting. Prepare an initial rebuttal if the cycle offers one
                        (conext-author-response, Turn 1).
[Decision]              Accept / Reject / one-shot major revision.
[One-shot revision]     ~2 months to address the minimum-necessary changes; same reviewers re-read
                        once; a shepherd checks the changes (conext-author-response, Turn 2).
[Accept]                Camera-ready to acmart + PACMNET metadata (conext-camera-ready). If you opted
                        in, send the one-page artifact description within a week (conext-artifact-evaluation).
[Reject]                No appeal. Reroute via conext-topic-selection to a sibling venue or the other
                        CoNEXT cycle, revised.

Roles and hand-offs

  • Registration owner — one author confirms title/abstract/authors/conflicts before the earlier registration cutoff; a missed registration means no submission slot.
  • Artifact owner — pins traces/configs and stages the anonymized artifact; owns the badge opt-in before submission and the one-page description after acceptance.
  • Anonymity owner — runs the double-anonymous sweep on the final PDF, figures (topologies!), and archive, and on the major-revision response letter.
  • Shepherd liaison — after a revision or conditional accept, the corresponding author tracks each required change to a tracked edit for the shepherd.

Calendar hygiene

  • Confirm both cycles' exact dates and time zones each year; CoNEXT re-posts them per edition.
  • Do not assume the December and June cycles share every rule (page budget, revision window); verify the one you are in.
  • Watch the co-located Student Workshop and any workshops if a shorter or student-facing venue fits ongoing work better (see conext-topic-selection).

Output format

text
[Target] CoNEXT <year>, <December | June> cycle, submission <date + time zone>
[Backward plan] <milestones with dates: platform freeze, evidence, draft, register, opt-in, submit>
[Risk] <the milestone most likely to slip, and the fallback cycle/venue>
[Post-submission] <decision-contingent branches: revision window, camera-ready, badge>
