What it does

Cvpr Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about how CVPR review actually works at 16,000-submission scale, covering the OpenReview pipeline and timeline, reviewer-duty enforcement and desk rejects, the reviewer LLM ban, AC and discussion dynamics, oral/highlight/poster decision tiers, and calibrating expectations to a ~25% acceptance rate.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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

  • Reasoning about how CVPR review actually works at 16
  • 000-submission scale
  • Covering the OpenReview pipeline and timeline
  • Reviewer-duty enforcement and desk rejects

Example prompts

  • “/cvpr-review-process”

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

Cvpr Review Process loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 779 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 reasoning about how CVPR review actually works at 16,000-submission scale, covering the OpenReview pipeline and timeline, reviewer-duty enforcement and desk rejects, the reviewer LLM ban, AC and discussion dynamics, oral/highlight/poster decision tiers, and calibrating expectations to a ~25% acceptance rate.

CVPR Review Process

Use this to model what happens to a CVPR paper between upload and decision, and where author leverage exists. Every mechanism below is the 2026 cycle as verified 2026-07-08; scale numbers come from official CVPR program announcements.

The machine, by the numbers

The 2026 cycle put 16,092 submissions through full review (withdrawals and desk rejects excluded from that count) and accepted 4,090 — 25.42%. Doing that required roughly doubling the reviewer pool to 25,149 reviewers across 97 countries, coordinated by 909 area chairs. Two consequences follow for authors:

  • Your reviewers are statistically likely to include first-time CVPR reviewers (the pool doubled in one year; official training material exists for a reason). Write for a competent generalist in vision, not the five people in your subfield.
  • No individual paper gets much AC deliberation time by default. Papers that make the AC's job easy — clear claims, clean rebuttal, consistent reviews — get the benefit of scarce attention.

Timeline anatomy (2026 cycle)

Phase2026 datesWhat authors can do
Profile/abstract registrationNov 6, 2025Fix profiles, finalize author list
Paper + CRF deadlineNov 13, 2025Submit; after this, nothing
Supplement deadlineNov 20, 2025Upload depth material
ReviewingDec – Jan 12, 2026Serve your own reviewer duties well
Reviews releasedJan 22, 2026Read cold, then triage
Rebuttal→ Jan 29, 2026One page (see cvpr-author-response)
Reviewer–AC discussionJan 30 – Feb 5, 2026Nothing — your rebuttal speaks
DecisionsFeb 20, 2026Plan camera-ready or resubmission

Enforcement culture: the distinctive part

CVPR's response to scale is to make authorship and reviewing one social contract, with teeth that surprised people in recent cycles:

  • Enrollment: submitting authors are expected to review and are added to the pool unless exempted; complete OpenReview profiles are mandatory for everyone.
  • The nuclear clause: papers authored by a reviewer who fails to deliver assigned reviews on time, or delivers highly irresponsible ones, can be desk-rejected — all of that person's submissions — at PC discretion. A coauthor's negligence in January can kill your November submission.
  • Reviewer LLM ban: reviews and meta-reviews may not be written by LLMs (local or API), and sharing substantial paper content with an LLM is prohibited; grammar checkers and background research are the carve-outs. As an author, this means a suspiciously LLM-flavored review is reportable to the AC, not just annoying.
text
# Confidential-channel escalation, in order
1. Rebuttal PDF        → factual corrections all reviewers see
2. Confidential comment to AC (where the form allows)
   → reviewer misconduct: LLM-written review, review of the wrong paper,
     demonstrably unread paper. Cite evidence, stay unemotional.
3. Never              → contacting reviewers or ACs outside OpenReview; that
                        is an integrity violation on YOUR side.

What a CVPR review contains

The review form's exact fields shift by cycle (待核实 each year), but the durable skeleton a CVPR review argues through is: summary of the paper in the reviewer's own words (misreadings here predict everything downstream), claimed strengths, weaknesses with the score-driving one usually listed first, and a recommendation with confidence. Read your reviews against that skeleton: a wrong summary is rebuttal priority one, because every weakness derived from it inherits the error.

Decision tiers

Acceptance is not binary. The 2026 program sorted acceptances into poster, highlight (program-flagged posters, 578 papers per program trackers), and oral (141 papers in four parallel tracks), plus 74 award candidates — treat those tier counts as reported, and the tiering itself as the durable pattern. Tier decisions ride on review scores plus AC/SAC advocacy, which is one more reason the rebuttal's real audience is the AC.

After a rejection: mining reviews for signal

Roughly three of four reviewed papers exit here, so treat rejection processing as part of the process, not an aftermath:

  • Separate objections into evidence gaps (missing baseline, unmatched backbone — fix before any resubmission; CVF reviewer pools overlap and repeat objections compound), communication failures (a reviewer missed something the paper does say — a writing-style problem, see cvpr-writing-style), and taste (novelty judgments that a different draw of three reviewers may not share).
  • Score patterns carry information: uniform lukewarm reviews usually mean a framing problem; one champion plus one detractor means the discussion phase decided it, and the rebuttal is where to look for what failed.
  • Do not shop an unchanged paper to the next deadline. The overlap between CVPR, ICCV, and ECCV reviewer pools makes "same paper, new lottery ticket" a strategy with memory.

Calibration for authors

  • A ~25% rate at 16k submissions means ~12,000 rejections of mostly competent papers. Rejection is the modal outcome for good work; plan the ICCV/ECCV/next-CVPR path at submission time, not in grief.
  • Borderline papers live or die in discussion week. What moves them: a rebuttal that kills a factual objection, and one reviewer willing to champion. What doesn't: eloquence about importance.
  • Reviews disagreeing 2-vs-1 is normal at this scale; the AC weighs arguments, not averages, more than authors assume.

Reverify each cycle

  • Whether decisions remain single-round (no conditional-accept revision cycle existed in 2026).
  • Reviewer-duty enforcement wording, LLM-policy scope, and review-form structure.
  • Tier definitions (highlight/oral percentages shift with program capacity).
