What it does

Icra Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when explaining or strategizing around ICRA's review pipeline — the RAS Conference Editorial Board of Editors and Associate Editors, reviewer recruitment through PaperPlaza, the absence of an author rebuttal in the classic ICRA flow, the January accept/reject decision, and how this differs from RA-L's revise-capable journal review.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Recruiting and HR. 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.

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

Icra Review Process loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 670 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 explaining or strategizing around ICRA's review pipeline — the RAS Conference Editorial Board of Editors and Associate Editors, reviewer recruitment through PaperPlaza, the absence of an author rebuttal in the classic ICRA flow, the January accept/reject decision, and how this differs from RA-L's revise-capable journal review.

ICRA Review Process

ICRA review is run not by ad-hoc program committees but by a standing RAS Conference Editorial Board (CEB) structure operating inside PaperPlaza. The mechanics differ enough from both journals and ML conferences that authors mis-model them — most consequentially around the rebuttal that never comes.

The pipeline

text
Sep 15   PaperPlaza deadline
   │
   ▼     Editor (area lead) assigns paper to an Associate Editor (AE)
   │     by keyword match from your chosen PaperPlaza topics
   ▼
Oct-Dec  AE recruits 2-3 reviewers; reviews written on the standard
   │     RAS form (contribution, technical soundness, clarity,
   │     experimental validation, video comments)
   ▼
Dec-Jan  AE writes a summary report reconciling the reviews and
   │     recommends; Editors + program committee calibrate across areas
   ▼
Jan 31   accept or reject — no conditional accepts, no shepherding,
   │     and in the classic ICRA flow NO author rebuttal phase
   ▼
Mar      camera-ready with voluntary reviewer-driven revisions

Two structural notes. First, keyword choice at submission is not paperwork — it routes the manuscript to an Editor's area and thereby to the reviewer pool most or least sympathetic to it. Second, reviewer identity practice: reviewers are anonymous to authors, and from the 2026 cycle authors are anonymous to reviewers too (double-anonymous; before 2025 inclusive, single-blind). Policies are set per cycle — confirm on the current year-site.

No rebuttal: consequences, not complaints

The classic ICRA pipeline gives authors no reply channel between submission and decision (individual cycles have experimented; verify the current one). Plan for it:

  • The paper must anticipate objections in advance — the limitations paragraph and pre-answered comparisons (icra-writing-style) do the job a rebuttal does elsewhere.
  • Misunderstandings are terminal. If a reviewer misreads the method, no one corrects them before the AE summarizes. Ambiguity is therefore a first-order risk, worth spending page budget to eliminate.
  • The video is your asynchronous rebuttal. It answers "is this real / is it cherry-picked / how fast" before those objections are typed (icra-supplementary).
  • Reviews arrive with the decision, and for accepted papers they function as camera-ready guidance (icra-author-response covers using them well).

What the review form rewards

Form dimensionWhat strong looks like at ICRA
Technical soundnessassumptions stated; math checkable; no hidden human-in-the-loop
Experimental validationevidence rung matches claims; trials, dispersion, failure analysis
Novelty/contributionmechanism-level delta over named prior systems
Clarityfigure chain self-sufficient; task-first narrative
Multimediauncut executions, labeled speeds, failure shown

Borderline papers typically die on validation ("promising but insufficient experimental support") rather than novelty — allocate effort accordingly.

Where author leverage actually exists

With no rebuttal, influence concentrates before upload:

  1. Keyword selection — the only routing input you control; choose for the reviewer pool you want, within honesty.
  2. The video — the one channel that reaches reviewers with evidence after the PDF freezes their reading order but before they form judgments.
  3. Ambiguity elimination — every sentence a reviewer could misparse is a decision risk with no correction mechanism.
  4. The limitations paragraph — converts predicted objections from "flaw found" to "flaw acknowledged," a materially different review sentence.

Calibrating expectations

  • ICRA is large (thousands of submissions; Vienna 2026 drew 8,000+ attendees); historical acceptance rates have floated in the 40-45% band, far gentler than ML flagship venues but with high variance across areas. Treat any specific rate as unverified until the year's numbers are published.
  • Acceptance is to the program as a whole; presentation format (interactive/ poster session structure) is a program decision, not a quality tier ranking in the proceedings record.
  • Decisions are binary. "Reject with encouraging reviews" is the common fate of good-but-thin papers; the correct read is "fund one more experiment rung and resubmit" (IROS in March, RA-L any time).

Contrast with RA-L review

Authors choosing between routes (see icra-topic-selection) should model the review differences, not just the deadlines:

  • RA-L is journal review: an AE plus reviewers, a first decision targeted within ~3 months, and crucially a revise-and-resubmit outcome that lets authors answer reviewers with a response letter — the interaction ICRA lacks.
  • RA-L decisions bind publication in the journal; conference presentation is a separate transfer step afterward.
  • The reviewer pools overlap heavily; a paper rejected at ICRA and sent to RA-L unchanged may meet the same reviewer with the same objection — revise first.

Reading a decision packet

  1. Sort comments into: factual error (yours), misunderstanding (their reading, your ambiguity), scope demand (wants a different paper), and taste.
  2. Reject case: fix the first two categories before any resubmission clock; a misunderstanding at ICRA predicts the same misunderstanding at IROS.
  3. Accept case: triage which comments to honor in camera-ready given the 8-page-total final limit (icra-camera-ready).
  4. Update your model: which claims drew fire predicts how to scope the next submission's evidence ladder.
