What it does

Corl Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about how CoRL reviews a paper — the OpenReview double-anonymous pipeline, reviewer/AC/SAC hierarchy, rubric scoring with weak accept as the acceptance threshold, the first-round rejection gate before rebuttal, the reviewer-AC discussion window, decision meetings, and public reviews for accepted papers.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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 Education, covering Quizzes and assessments. 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

  • Reasoning about how CoRL reviews a paper — the OpenReview double-anonymous pipeline
  • Reviewer/AC/SAC hierarchy
  • Rubric scoring with weak accept as the acceptance threshold
  • The first-round rejection gate before rebuttal

Example prompts

  • “/corl-review-process”

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. A three-tier committee. Reviewers report to Area Chairs, who report to
  2. A first-round rejection gate. In the 2026 process, a paper that receives no
  3. Accepted papers publish their reviews. Reviews and rebuttals of accepted

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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • corl.org

    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

Corl Review Process loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 686 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 reasoning about how CoRL reviews a paper — the OpenReview double-anonymous pipeline, reviewer/AC/SAC hierarchy, rubric scoring with weak accept as the acceptance threshold, the first-round rejection gate before rebuttal, the reviewer-AC discussion window, decision meetings, and public reviews for accepted papers.

CoRL Review Process

Model the pipeline correctly and author effort lands where it can still change the outcome. Everything here reflects the CoRL 2026 process as documented on corl.org (Instruction for Reviewers / Reviews / Rebuttal pages) and OpenReview, read 2026-07-08; CoRL adjusts its process year to year, so treat this as one cycle's mechanics.

The pipeline, stage by stage

StageWho actsAuthor leverage
Submission + abstract registrationAuthorsFull — see corl-submission
Assignment (keywords, bidding, conflicts)ACs, OpenReview matchingIndirect, via keyword choice
Reviewing (June–early Aug 2026)3-ish reviewers per paper + ACNone; do rebuttal prep instead
Reviews released + first-round gateProgram committeeNone at the gate itself
One-page rebuttal (due Aug 11, 2026 AoE)AuthorsHighest-leverage moment
Reviewer–AC discussion (Aug 12–19, 2026)Reviewers, ACsIndirect, through the rebuttal
SAC–AC meetings, then SACs–PCs meetingACs, SACs, Program ChairsNone
Decision + (for accepted papers) public reviewsProgram ChairsNone

Three structural facts to internalize:

  1. A three-tier committee. Reviewers report to Area Chairs, who report to Senior Area Chairs; decisions are finalized in dedicated SAC–AC meetings plus a final SACs–PCs meeting. Your rebuttal's real audience includes the AC and SAC who will represent your paper in rooms you never see.
  2. A first-round rejection gate. In the 2026 process, a paper that receives no score of weak accept or above — from any reviewer or the AC — is a candidate for rejection without rebuttal. Initial impressions are therefore not provisional at CoRL; the paper must earn at least one advocate on first read.
  3. Accepted papers publish their reviews. Reviews and rebuttals of accepted papers are made publicly available. The exchange is part of the paper's permanent record, which disciplines both sides' tone.

Scoring culture

The 2026 reviewer instructions direct reviewers to score against a rubric rather than against their batch, with weak accept reported as the acceptance-threshold score in the review form's terms. Practical consequences for authors:

  • A profile of one enthusiastic accept plus several borderlines is viable — the gate needs one weak-accept-or-above, and discussion can move borderlines.
  • Reviewer confidence is reported separately and ACs are told to weigh it; a low-confidence negative review is explicitly contestable in the rebuttal, in factual and polite terms.
  • Reviewers are told to keep weaknesses specific and constructive and to write reviews that can stand alone if the paper never reaches rebuttal — meaning the written text, not just the score, is what the AC audits at the gate.

What CoRL reviewers probe first

The reviewer pool is the robot-learning community itself, and its recurring checks are learning-specific (details in corl-experiments):

  • Evaluation breadth: number of tasks, objects/scenes, seeds, and episodes per policy — single-configuration results draw immediate skepticism.
  • Baseline recency: comparison against current robot-learning methods, not only classical controllers or two-generation-old learning baselines.
  • Sim-vs-real honesty: whether claims scoped as "real-world" rest on real-robot evaluations, and whether the transfer gap is measured or hand-waved.
  • The mandatory Limitations section: reviewers read it and cross-check that the failure modes it admits match what the video shows.

Reading a review packet

text
Triage grid — fill within 24h of reviews arriving:
R1  score: __  confidence: __  gate-relevant (>= weak accept)? __
R2  score: __  confidence: __  gate-relevant? __
R3  score: __  confidence: __  gate-relevant? __
AC  (if scored/commented): __

If NO gate-relevant score exists:
  -> paper is a first-round rejection candidate; expect no rebuttal round.
  -> pivot to the resubmission branch (corl-topic-selection, corl-workflow).
If at least one exists:
  -> rebuttal is live (corl-author-response); rank concerns by which
     scores they block, not by which are easiest to answer.

Confidentiality and process hygiene

  • Reviewers must keep papers inside OpenReview and use them only for reviewing; suspected breaches go to the AC, not to public channels.
  • Conflicts (institutional, advisor–advisee, recent collaboration, personal) are reassignment triggers — authors should declare them exhaustively on the form, as a missed conflict discovered late destabilizes an otherwise sound decision.
  • Do not contact reviewers or guess identities; the discussion window is mediated entirely through OpenReview.

Calibrating expectations

  • CoRL is small and selective by design (a few hundred papers per year in recent volumes, versus thousands at ML mega-conferences); per-paper acceptance rates for 2026 are 待核实 until the cycle closes — do not quote a number to a team.
  • Between rebuttal close (Aug 11) and decisions (September 2026, exact date 待核实) there is genuine multi-layer deliberation; silence in that window carries no signal either way.
  • Reviewer quality varies with pool load in a fast-growing field; the appeal path for a factually broken review is a calm note to the AC via OpenReview during the discussion window, not after decisions.

Re-verify the live process pages before advising on any cycle: https://www.corl.org/contributions/instruction-for-reviewers and https://www.corl.org/contributions/instruction-for-reviewers (2026 URLs; year-sites rotate).
