What it does

Hpca Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when auditing an HPCA submission for the two-step July gate on HotCRP, the 11-page main-body limit, the IEEE template, double-blind anonymity plus the all-authors reference rule, the AI-use disclosure, artifact-link scrubbing, and final-week sequencing before the paper deadline.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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. 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 HPCA submission for the two-step July gate on HotCRP
  • The 11-page main-body limit
  • The IEEE template
  • Double-blind anonymity plus the all-authors reference rule

Example prompts

  • “/hpca-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Freeze the mechanism description and figure set; renumber so reviewers can
  2. Regenerate every figure from a scripted pipeline so PDF and artifact cannot
  3. Verify each bibliography entry lists all authors, then scrub PDF metadata and
  4. Confirm the HotCRP abstract matches the PDF abstract, all fields are filled, and
  5. Re-run the registration-vs-paper check: the conflict list from step one still

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

Hpca Submission loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 496 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1k

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 HPCA submission for the two-step July gate on HotCRP, the 11-page main-body limit, the IEEE template, double-blind anonymity plus the all-authors reference rule, the AI-use disclosure, artifact-link scrubbing, and final-week sequencing before the paper deadline.

HPCA Submission

Use this for an HPCA paper submission audit. Reopen the current 20XX.hpca-conf.org call for papers, the HotCRP portal, and the IEEE template before giving deadline-ready advice — every cap and date below is a cycle snapshot.

The two-step July gate

HPCA collects an abstract-and-conflict registration roughly a week before the full paper, both on HotCRP (hpca<year>.hotcrp.com). The registration step is not a placeholder: it finalizes the conflict list and seeds reviewer assignment, so a missed registration can forfeit the paper slot even if the PDF is ready. For HPCA 2027 the paper deadline is July 24, 2026 (AoE), with registration about a week earlier.

  • Register the real title, abstract, authors, topics, and complete per-author conflicts by the registration cutoff — not placeholders you plan to fix.
  • Treat the paper step as a second hard deadline, not an extension of the first.

Format and anonymity audit

  • Apply the current IEEE template without margin, font, or spacing hacks. Recent cycles cap the main body at 11 pages excluding references, with a minimum 10pt font and 12pt leading.
  • References are unlimited and uncounted — but each reference must list all of its authors, or the paper can be rejected. Never abbreviate an author list with "et al." in the bibliography to save space.
  • Enforce double-blind: no author names anywhere outside the HotCRP form, scrubbed PDF metadata, and fully anonymized artifact links (repositories, dataset hosts).
  • Keep references de-anonymized: cite your own prior work in the third person, but do not remove or blind citations for anonymity.
  • Disclose any AI-generated content in the acknowledgments per recent CFP wording; the acknowledgments themselves stay anonymous until camera-ready.

Blocking risks

  • Missed abstract-and-conflict registration, or an incomplete conflict list.
  • Overlength main text or a modified template.
  • A reference that omits authors (a stated reject trigger), or a bibliography blinded for anonymity.
  • Author identity leaking through PDF metadata or a non-anonymized artifact link.
  • Headline numbers with no named instrument (simulator/fidelity or machine/state).

Final-week sequence for a simulation-plus-silicon paper

  1. Freeze the mechanism description and figure set; renumber so reviewers can cross-reference.
  2. Regenerate every figure from a scripted pipeline so PDF and artifact cannot diverge.
  3. Verify each bibliography entry lists all authors, then scrub PDF metadata and anonymize every artifact URL.
  4. Confirm the HotCRP abstract matches the PDF abstract, all fields are filled, and status reads submitted (not saved).
  5. Re-run the registration-vs-paper check: the conflict list from step one still matches the author list.

Output format

[HPCA readiness] Ready / Needs fixes / Not ready
[Gate step] registration / paper

[Instrument risk] <one un-anchored number, or none>
[Desk-reject risk] <one issue>
[Fix order] <ordered fixes before the deadline>

Recheck the current CFP before trusting any number here: the 11-page cap, the registration-to-paper gap, and the AI-disclosure wording are all per-edition.
