What it does

Focs Camera Ready is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when converting a FOCS (IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science) acceptance into its deliverables — the IEEE proceedings version with copyright and de-anonymization steps, the public arXiv/ECCC full version the CFP expects, the New York talk, and award-eligibility hygiene.

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 Research & Science, covering Academic paper search. It works with arXiv. 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

  • The public arXiv/ECCC full version the CFP expects
  • The New York talk
  • Award-eligibility hygiene

Example prompts

  • “/focs-camera-ready”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Acceptance week: read the packet twice; diary the camera-ready date;
  2. Week 1: apply reviewer-prompted fixes to the canonical source; regenerate
  3. Week 2: de-anonymization pass; funder-compliance check; consistency audit
  4. Submission: upload proceedings files; post/refresh the full version so
  5. Before travel: talk rehearsed against a mixed-TCS audience; slides carry

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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

Focs Camera Ready loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 733 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
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.

Use when converting a FOCS (IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science) acceptance into its deliverables — the IEEE proceedings version with copyright and de-anonymization steps, the public arXiv/ECCC full version the CFP expects, the New York talk, and award-eligibility hygiene.

FOCS Camera-Ready

Acceptance at FOCS creates two publication duties with different owners of truth: a proceedings version, produced to IEEE specifications and published via IEEE Xplore and the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library, and a public full version with complete proofs that the CFP expects on arXiv, ECCC, or an equivalent open host by the camera-ready deadline (2026 CFP, checked 2026-07-08; the 2026 camera-ready date and format instructions were not public at check time — the acceptance packet is the controlling source, 待核实). This skill sequences both.

The two deliverables

Proceedings versionPublic full version
PublisherIEEE (Xplore + CS Digital Library)You (arXiv / ECCC)
RoleCitable record of the FOCS acceptanceRecord of correctness — the document experts actually read
LengthPer acceptance packet (待核实)Unlimited; all proofs
RightsIEEE copyright/publication form (electronic; exact form 待核实)You retain arXiv license choice
DeadlineCamera-ready date (待核实)CFP expectation: same date
Failure costPaper dropped from proceedingsCommunity reads a proofless announcement; reputational, and real

Treat the full version as the primary deliverable and the proceedings file as its formatted excerpt — that ordering produces consistent documents; the reverse ordering produces a proofless PDF and an orphaned preprint.

De-anonymization, done completely

Reversing double-blind is more than restoring the author block:

  • Author names, affiliations, emails, ORCIDs in the packet's required format and order (author-order changes after acceptance need chair approval).
  • Acknowledgements and grant numbers restored — check funder mandates now, since some require specific contract-number phrasing and open-access handling of the accepted version.
  • Self-citations rewritten out of the third person where it now reads absurdly ("Chen et al. [7] — the present authors — showed…" becomes "In earlier work [7] we showed…").
  • The "full version" pointer made concrete: replace "the full version" with the actual arXiv/ECCC identifier on the first page.

Consistency audit before the deadline

The one camera-ready failure that follows a theory paper forever is divergence between the proceedings version and the full version. Run the statement-freeze check across the two sources one last time:

bash
# same extractor as focs-reproducibility; both sources, post-edits
./extract_statements.sh proceedings-src/ fullversion-src/
# hashes must match: no theorem statement may differ between the
# document people cite and the document people check
# then verify the cross-pointers resolve:
grep -o 'arXiv:[0-9v.]*' proceedings-src/*.tex   # correct ID, correct version

If reviewer comments prompted real changes (a repaired lemma, a weakened claim), apply them to both documents and record them in the full version's changelog ("v3, camera-ready: Lemma 6.2 hypothesis corrected following committee comments"). Improvements beyond reviewer comments are safe when they strengthen exposition; new results belong in the journal version, not in a camera-ready that no longer matches what was refereed.

The November talk and the awards file

  • Talk: every accepted FOCS paper gets a program slot in New York (November 8–11, 2026); whether the 2026 program runs single-track or parallel sessions was unannounced at check time (待核实). Build the talk from the ten-page window's narrative — problem, obstacle, one real idea — not from the section structure; twenty minutes fits one idea.
  • Registration and attendance duties for accepted papers (who must register, in-person requirements): 待核实 in the acceptance packet; budget as if required.
  • Awards: the PC designates Best Paper and the Machtey Award for best student paper from the accepted pool — recent Machtey citations (2024: the Ising-perceptron capacity paper; papers with all-student author teams) show the profile. If your author team's student status matters, confirm the packet's eligibility declaration is filled accurately; misdeclared status is unfixable after the program is printed.

Working with IEEE production

Expect the production pipeline of an IEEE Computer Society proceedings — specific class files, a compliance-checking step, and an electronic copyright form — with the 2026 specifics (template, page allowance, upload system) defined only by the acceptance packet (待核实). Two habits that prevent the classic failures: run the packet's compliance checks on day one rather than deadline day, because font-embedding and figure-format errors take iterations to clear; and keep the proceedings source a generated projection of your canonical source (a documented set of cut points and \iffull switches), never a hand-forked copy — hand forks are how the proceedings version acquires the typo the full version already fixed.

Endgame sequence

  1. Acceptance week: read the packet twice; diary the camera-ready date; file the IEEE form early (copyright questions take days, not hours).
  2. Week 1: apply reviewer-prompted fixes to the canonical source; regenerate both documents from it.
  3. Week 2: de-anonymization pass; funder-compliance check; consistency audit above; co-author sign-off on the exact PDFs.
  4. Submission: upload proceedings files; post/refresh the full version so the identifier printed in the proceedings resolves today, not at the conference.
  5. Before travel: talk rehearsed against a mixed-TCS audience; slides carry the arXiv/ECCC ID on the final frame.
