What it does

Hpca Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning an HPCA project timeline from venue fit through the two-step July registration and paper gate, the autumn review wait, the single rebuttal/revision window, notification, IEEE camera-ready, artifact evaluation, and the February/March talk, with backward-planning offsets for a hardware-evaluated paper.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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

  • The autumn review wait
  • The single rebuttal/revision window
  • IEEE camera-ready

Example prompts

  • “/hpca-workflow”

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 Workflow loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 484 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 planning an HPCA project timeline from venue fit through the two-step July registration and paper gate, the autumn review wait, the single rebuttal/revision window, notification, IEEE camera-ready, artifact evaluation, and the February/March talk, with backward-planning offsets for a hardware-evaluated paper.

HPCA Workflow

Use this as the project-management skill for an HPCA submission. Replace every date with the current official timetable and plan backward from the late-July gate.

HPCA is a conference, not a journal: it has no standing editor-in-chief and no article-processing charge. It is run by the IEEE-CS Technical Committee on Computer Architecture (TCCA); the rotating leadership is the per-edition General and Program Chairs (HPCA 2027 program chairs were reported as Aamer Jaleel and Mattan Erez — 待核实), and the cost model is registration fees. Chairs rotate yearly, so re-check the current organization page rather than carrying a name forward.

The shape of the HPCA year

HPCA sits in the winter seat: a late-July deadline feeds an autumn review and a February/March conference. It is the last major architecture deadline of the summer, so a project that misses it waits for MICRO's spring gate or ISCA's November gate — plan the fallback before you need it.

Milestones

  • Venue fit: confirm a measured microarchitectural cost meets a buildable mechanism whose behavior is the contribution.
  • Evidence lock: freeze the mechanism, the simulator/silicon configuration, workloads, sampled regions, baselines, and the artifact mirror.
  • Registration step: submit real title, abstract, authors, topics, and complete conflicts about a week before the paper.
  • Paper step: upload the anonymous IEEE-template PDF and all HotCRP fields.
  • Review wait: triage reviews for correctness, methodology, novelty, and reproducibility concerns as they land.
  • Rebuttal/revision window: respond and revise in one combined window (recent cycles run a single window, not two rounds).
  • Notification → acceptance: archive reviews, the response, and the submitted versions; then IEEE camera-ready, artifact evaluation on the AE HotCRP, and the winter talk.

Backward plan from the paper deadline

Weeks out (heuristic)Hardware-evaluated milestone
8+Mechanism implemented; fidelity contract (tool, config, workloads) fixed
6Baseline sweeps complete; per-workload results, not just means
4Real-silicon or validated-simulator numbers logged with machine state
3Full draft in the IEEE two-column template
2Internal mock review by an architecture-minded reader
1Reference author-list check, anonymity sweep, artifact mirror assembled
0Registration then paper on HotCRP

These offsets are planning heuristics — anchor every one to the current official timetable, never to a previous cycle.

Failure modes by stage

  • Infrastructure still churning at week 4 forces last-minute configuration changes no one has validated — the classic HPCA methodology reject in the making.
  • Leaving template conversion to the final week surfaces overflow late; two-column architecture figures are tighter than a working draft's.
  • Skipping the mock review forfeits the only chance to hear "your baseline is under-tuned" from a friend rather than a reviewer.
  • Building the artifact mirror after the deadline under pressure is how anonymity leaks and un-pinned simulators ship.

Coordination notes

  • Assign one named owner for the fidelity contract and another for the anonymity sweep; shared ownership is how both slip.
  • Archive the exact submitted PDF, the artifact mirror, and the configuration files, since rebuttal replies must quote them precisely.
