What it does

Fast Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about how a USENIX FAST submission is evaluated, covering double-blind program-committee review with outside referees, the author-response (rebuttal) period, the Accept / Accept-with-shepherding / One-shot-Revision / Reject decision set, how a one-shot revision differs from a journal R&R and from OSDI/ATC handling, and where author leverage exists.

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 a USENIX FAST submission is evaluated
  • Covering double-blind program-committee review with outside referees
  • The author-response (rebuttal) period
  • The Accept / Accept-with-shepherding / One-shot-Revision / Reject decision set

Example prompts

  • “/fast-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

Fast Review Process loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 706 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
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 a USENIX FAST submission is evaluated, covering double-blind program-committee review with outside referees, the author-response (rebuttal) period, the Accept / Accept-with-shepherding / One-shot-Revision / Reject decision set, how a one-shot revision differs from a journal R&R and from OSDI/ATC handling, and where author leverage exists.

FAST Review Process

Model the pipeline before interpreting any single review. FAST — the USENIX Conference on File and Storage Technologies — uses the USENIX systems-review machinery: double-blind program-committee review, an author-response period, PC shepherding for accepted papers, and a one-shot revision track. The most consequential mental shift for authors is understanding that FAST has four outcomes, not two, and that a one-shot revision is a real, bounded second chance — not a soft accept and not an open-ended journal R&R.

Process model

  • Submission and review run on HotCRP (a separate instance per deadline) with double-blind anonymity: identities are hidden from reviewers; authors anonymize the PDF and references and refer to their own prior work in the third person.
  • The program committee reviews, assisted by outside referees when needed. Storage papers are matched to reviewers from their subarea (file systems, SSD/NVM, KV stores, caching, reliability), so device details and evaluation state are scrutinized, not skimmed.
  • There is an author-response (rebuttal) period before notification: a short window to answer reviewer questions and correct misreadings.
  • First decisions fall into Accept, Accept-with-shepherding, One-shot Revision, or Reject. Accepted papers are shepherded by a PC member to closure. Proceedings are open access via USENIX.

Reading a decision against the categories

DecisionWhat it meansAuthor move
AcceptContribution and evidence hold; polish onlyCamera-ready + artifact; do not reopen scope
Accept-with-shepherdingAccepted subject to specific, bounded fixes overseen by a PC shepherdMake exactly the requested changes; keep the shepherd informed
One-shot RevisionLikely-acceptable if specific changes (possibly new experiments) are madeTreat as a second deadline: do every required item, resubmit next cutoff
RejectStructural: wrong metric, no real-device evidence, thin storage contributionReframe or reroute (OSDI/ATC/EuroSys/HotStorage/TOS); do not lightly resubmit unchanged

The strategic reading: write the initial submission so that whatever is weakest is fixable in a one-shot revision (a measurement you can add, a baseline you can tune, a crash test you can run) rather than structural (a study design or device set you cannot redo). The process rewards papers whose gaps are experiments, not premises.

What a one-shot revision actually is

  • Bounded: the decision comes with a summary of merits and a concrete list of required changes; detailed resubmission instructions follow within days.
  • Can require new experiments: unlike light shepherding, the instructions may say "compare against system X" or "measure at steady state on device Y" — real work, not just editing.
  • One shot: the revised paper, resubmitted at the subsequent deadline, can only be accepted or rejected — there is no second revision. The revision must fully satisfy the list.
  • Exclusive: during the revision the paper is still under review at FAST and may not be submitted elsewhere unless withdrawn.

How FAST differs from its siblings

  • vs. OSDI/ATC/SOSP: those are general-systems venues; FAST is storage-specialized, so the review weights storage-specific evidence (device state, endurance, crash consistency) that a general-systems PC might not probe as hard. Never assume a shared calendar or template.
  • vs. a journal R&R: a one-shot revision is bounded and terminal (accept/reject after one round), unlike an open-ended journal revise-and-resubmit that can iterate.
  • vs. a single-deadline conference: FAST's two deadlines mean a revision or a near-miss has a scheduled next on-ramp within the same year — plan around it.

Who reads you

Expect storage-subarea reviewers. They look for the device table and firmware, ask whether SSDs were preconditioned and whether latency is reported at the tail, check that baselines are tuned, and often want the crash-consistency test for any durability claim. Vague measurement descriptions get caught, not skimmed.

Where author leverage actually exists

text
[Before submission]  topic tags + a crisp storage framing -> reviewer pool   (largest lever)
[Author response]    factual corrections, pointers to existing evidence, a concrete feasible plan
[Shepherding]        make exactly the bounded fixes; the shepherd is an ally, not an adversary
[One-shot revision]  the strongest lever: do every required item (incl. new experiments), resubmit
[After reject]       no lengthy appeal; reroute to a sibling storage/systems venue or ACM TOS

A response moves borderline papers when it corrects a misreading or supplies a measurement a reviewer said was missing; it does not move papers when it argues taste. In a one-shot revision, a required item left undone is what turns the terminal second read into a rejection.

Misreadings to avoid

  • Treating a one-shot revision as a guaranteed accept — it is terminal and can be rejected; budget its experiments like a deadline.
  • Treating shepherding as license to expand scope — do the bounded fixes, nothing more.
  • Treating the response as a debate — the PC discussion decides; your text is evidence for an advocate.
  • Projecting last year's cadence — deadline count, response windows, and revision timing are decided per edition.

Output format

text
[Process stage] pre-submission / awaiting reviews / response / shepherding / one-shot revision / accepted
[Decision category] accept / accept-with-shepherding / one-shot revision / reject, with the driving criterion
[Criterion map] each review point -> storage-contribution | device evidence | baseline | tail latency | consistency | clarity
[Leverage plan] the next-stage action that can actually change the outcome
[Forbidden moves] identity leak / parallel submission during revision / unsupported new claims
