What it does

Fse Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when auditing an ESEC/FSE research-track submission for HotCRP readiness, covering the mandatory paper-registration step, the ACM Primary Article Template page budget, double-anonymous "heavy" anonymity, the open-science Data Availability statement, PACMSE publication, and desk-reject triage before the AoE cutoff.

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 Reproducible research and Programmatic SEO. 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

  • Auditing an ESEC/FSE research-track submission for HotCRP readiness
  • Covering the mandatory paper-registration step
  • The ACM Primary Article Template page budget
  • Double-anonymous heavy anonymity

Example prompts

  • “/fse-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Freeze the body early; references can churn, the argument cannot.
  2. Register title/abstract/authors/conflicts well before the registration cutoff.
  3. Build the anonymized artifact and place its link and Data Availability statement in the paper.
  4. Run the mechanical anonymity checks on the final PDF and the final archive, not drafts.
  5. Fill every HotCRP field — topics that match your evidence, conflicts for every coauthor's
  6. Re-download the uploaded PDF and read it cold to confirm it is the file you meant.

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pdftotext

    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

Fse Submission loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 681 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
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 auditing an ESEC/FSE research-track submission for HotCRP readiness, covering the mandatory paper-registration step, the ACM Primary Article Template page budget, double-anonymous "heavy" anonymity, the open-science Data Availability statement, PACMSE publication, and desk-reject triage before the AoE cutoff.

FSE Submission

Run this audit before uploading to the FSE HotCRP site. FSE research papers are published as journal articles in PACMSE (Proceedings of the ACM on Software Engineering), so the submission is judged like a journal manuscript that also earns a conference slot. Every number below was read from the FSE 2026/2027 research-papers calls on 2026-07-09 via search renderings of the conf.researchr.org URLs (see resources/official-source-map.md); treat them as a one-cycle snapshot and reopen the live call first.

The two-step deadline

FSE separates paper registration from paper submission, and both are AoE:

  • Registration locks in title, abstract, authors, and conflicts a week early (FSE 2026: 4 September 2025). Miss it and the system will not accept the PDF later.
  • Submission uploads the anonymized PDF (FSE 2026: 11 September 2025). FSE 2027's single research deadline is 2 October 2026.

Register with the real title and abstract, not a placeholder — the abstract drives reviewer bidding, and a registered abstract that diverges from the final paper quietly worsens your PC match.

Format and page budget

  • ACM Primary Article Template, unmodified, in the single-column review format. This is the ACM path, not IEEE — do not carry an IEEEtran habit over from a sibling venue.
  • Page budget (verify per cycle): FSE 2027 posts ≤18 pages for all text and figures plus 4 pages for references only. There is no separate unlimited appendix; anything reviewers must read to judge the paper lives inside the budget.
  • Margins, font size, and spacing are fixed by the template; editorial compression, not template tampering, is how you recover space.

Double-anonymous "heavy" sweep

FSE runs heavy double-anonymous review: anonymity is preserved through all reviewing and discussion, and even a later Major Revision response letter must stay anonymous. Because SE papers lean on tools, repositories, and mined data, the leak surface is wide:

bash
# Mechanical pass on the submission PDF and any anonymized artifact archive
pdfinfo paper.pdf | grep -Ei 'author|creator|producer'
pdftotext paper.pdf - | grep -nEi 'github\.com/[a-z0-9-]+|gitlab|zenodo\.org/record|acknowledg|grant' | head
unzip -l artifact.zip | grep -Ei '\.git/|\.DS_Store|/home/|/Users/' | head
grep -rni 'university\|@[a-z0-9.]*\.edu\|our (tool|group|lab)' artifact/ --include='*.md' | head

The SE-specific leaks: a tool named after your lab, a screenshot showing a username, a data- availability link pointing at a personal GitHub, commit metadata inside a zipped repository, and issue-tracker URLs in the evaluation. Re-host artifacts behind an anonymizing service before upload.

Open science at submission time

FSE expects sharing by default under an open-science policy. Concretely for the submission:

  • Provide an anonymized artifact link or upload anonymized material, and add a Data Availability statement describing what exists and where it will live after acceptance.
  • If you genuinely cannot share (industrial confidentiality, human-subjects limits), say so and why — a missing availability story reads as a scored weakness, not a neutral choice.
  • Cache LLM outputs and pin mining provenance now; these cannot be reconstructed at review time.

Desk-risk triage

Finding at audit timeSeverityReal fix
Main text over the page budgetDesk-reject-gradeCut or move to the artifact; reference pages do not absorb body text
Template altered (margins, shrunk font)Named desk-reject groundRecompile clean, recover space editorially

Abstract/paper not registered by the earlier dateNo submission slot existsNothing fixes this post-AoE — calendar it now
No availability statement, no artifactScored against the paperAdd the statement + an anonymized package
Same study under review elsewhereDual-submission exposureWithdraw one venue; verify the current concurrent-submission wording

Final-week order of operations

  1. Freeze the body early; references can churn, the argument cannot.
  2. Register title/abstract/authors/conflicts well before the registration cutoff.
  3. Build the anonymized artifact and place its link and Data Availability statement in the paper.
  4. Run the mechanical anonymity checks on the final PDF and the final archive, not drafts.
  5. Fill every HotCRP field — topics that match your evidence, conflicts for every coauthor's institution and recent collaborators — a day early; late conflicts are the classic midnight failure.
  6. Re-download the uploaded PDF and read it cold to confirm it is the file you meant.

Reverify each cycle

  • Whether the year runs one deadline or two (FSE 2024 used two; 2025-2027 post one).
  • The page budget and which ACM template revision is required.
  • Supplementary handling, artifact-track timing, dual-submission wording, and any AI-disclosure rule — all cycle-volatile; none should be assumed stable.
