What it does

Icdt Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about how an ICDT (International Conference on Database Theory) submission is evaluated, covering the two-submission-cycle model, the first-cycle revision (Accept / Revise / Reject) decision, anonymous review since 2024, the cross-cycle resubmission restriction, proof-correctness scrutiny by a database-theory PC, and how ICDT's process differs from PODS and from the co-located EDBT systems track.

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.

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 an ICDT (International Conference on Database Theory) submission is evaluated
  • Covering the two-submission-cycle model
  • The first-cycle revision (Accept / Revise / Reject) decision
  • Anonymous review since 2024

Example prompts

  • “/icdt-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

Icdt Review Process loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 696 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~110
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 reasoning about how an ICDT (International Conference on Database Theory) submission is evaluated, covering the two-submission-cycle model, the first-cycle revision (Accept / Revise / Reject) decision, anonymous review since 2024, the cross-cycle resubmission restriction, proof-correctness scrutiny by a database-theory PC, and how ICDT's process differs from PODS and from the co-located EDBT systems track.

ICDT Review Process

Model the pipeline before interpreting any single review. ICDT's process is built around two submission cycles per year and a first-cycle revision option, and the reviewing bar is proof correctness: the referees are database theorists who will check the argument, not just weigh the idea. The most consequential mental shift for authors arriving from a systems venue is that a wrong or incomplete proof is not a "revise" — it is often a reject, because the contribution is the theorem.

Process model

  • Submission and review run on Microsoft CMT with anonymous review (regular track, since 2024): the PC does not see author identities.
  • Each cycle has an abstract deadline then a paper deadline about a week later; the PC bids and is assigned from the registered abstracts.
  • Cycle 1 decisions are Accept, Revise-and-resubmit, or Reject. A "revise" is a genuine invitation to fix identified gaps and return within the cycle for a second read.
  • Cycle 2 reaches a final Accept/Reject. A paper rejected in Cycle 1 cannot be resubmitted to Cycle 2 unless the reviewers explicitly invited it — the cycles are not two independent lotteries.
  • Accepted papers publish open access in LIPIcs (Schloss Dagstuhl), so camera-ready proof completeness and metadata matter as much as the verdict.

Reading a decision against the categories

DecisionWhat it meansAuthor move
AcceptThe theorem holds and the advance is real; polish onlyCamera-ready; finalize the full-version proofs; do not reopen scope
Revise-and-resubmit (Cycle 1)A fixable gap: a case in a proof, a missing bound, an unclear modelTreat as a deadline: fix each identified point and document it in the revised version
RejectStructural: a broken proof, a known result, a model with no consequenceDo not resubmit to Cycle 2 uninvited; repair deeply or reroute (PODS / a journal)

The strategic reading: an ICDT referee distinguishes a gap you can close (a missing lemma, a special case) from a claim that is wrong (the main theorem fails). Write so that any weakness a referee finds is of the first kind — an argument you can complete in the revision — not the second.

How ICDT differs from its siblings

  • vs. PODS: PODS is the other database-theory flagship, but North-American-leaning, co-located with SIGMOD, and now published in ACM PACMMOD. ICDT is the European venue, co-located with EDBT, published open access in LIPIcs, and runs a two-cycle calendar with a revision option rather than PODS's ACM-journal framing. The scope overlaps heavily; the calendar, publisher, and revision mechanics do not. Never assume a shared deadline or template.
  • vs. EDBT (the co-located systems track): EDBT reviews systems and experimental data-management work with reproducibility expectations; ICDT reviews theorems. Being in the same building and the same week does not mean the same reviewer culture — an ICDT referee wants a proof, not a benchmark.
  • vs. LICS / ICALP / STACS: these EATCS-adjacent theory venues share ICDT's proof rigor but not its data-management framing; ICDT rewards a result whose consequence for querying, constraints, or data is clear, not theory for its own sake.

Who reads you

Expect referees from your subarea of database theory — query languages, finite model theory, complexity of query evaluation, consistent query answering, provenance, or data-integration theory. They will read the proofs, look for the model of computation and the exact complexity class, check whether upper and lower bounds match, and notice an unstated assumption that makes a theorem easier than advertised. Vague "it can be shown that" statements are caught, not skimmed.

Where author leverage actually exists

text
[Before submission]  precise abstract + subject areas -> the right referees   (largest lever)
[Cycle choice]       target Cycle 1 if the proof might still move (revision option)
[Revision round]     the strongest lever: close every identified gap and say where you did
[After reject]       no uninvited Cycle-2 carry; reroute to PODS or a journal (TODS/LMCS/TheoretiCS)

A revision succeeds when it closes the specific gap the referees named and documents the change; it fails when it argues that the gap does not matter. Silent non-fixes — an identified missing case left unaddressed — turn the second read into a reject.

Misreadings to avoid

  • Treating "revise" as an accept — the second read re-checks the proof; budget the revision window like a deadline.
  • Treating Cycle 2 as a retry lane — the cross-cycle rule blocks uninvited resubmission of a Cycle-1 reject.
  • Assuming a systems-style rebuttal exists — ICDT's mechanism is the revision, not a short rebuttal letter (confirm the current cycle's exact author-interaction rules; 待核实).
  • Confusing ICDT with PODS process — different publisher, calendar, and revision model.

Output format

text
[Process stage] pre-submission / awaiting Cycle-N decision / revising / final / accepted
[Decision category] accept / revise / reject, with the criterion (correctness | novelty | consequence)
[Referee map] each point -> proof gap | model unclear | known result | bound not tight | scope
[Leverage plan] the next-stage action (which gap to close) that can change the outcome
[Forbidden moves] uninvited Cycle-2 resubmission / identity leak / unproved claim left standing
