What it does

Icra Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when auditing an ICRA paper for upload — PaperPlaza account and metadata, the 6-page-plus-2-reference-page limit, IEEE two-column template compliance, the double-anonymous rule introduced in the 2026 cycle, video-attachment specs (180 s, 20 MB), dual-submission conflicts with RA-L, and return-without-review triggers.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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 Documents & Office. 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 ICRA paper for upload — PaperPlaza account and metadata
  • The 6-page-plus-2-reference-page limit
  • IEEE two-column template compliance
  • The double-anonymous rule introduced in the 2026 cycle

Example prompts

  • “/icra-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Regenerate the PDF from a clean clone of the paper repo; confirm the IEEE
  2. Run the page split check: content ends on or before page 6; pages 7-8 contain
  3. Anonymity sweep: PDF metadata (pdfinfo), acknowledgements, self-citations,
  4. Play the video attachment start to finish on a machine without the lab
  5. Enter/verify PaperPlaza metadata: authors, keywords, abstract synced to PDF.
  6. Upload paper and video; pass the compliance check; archive the confirmation.

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 Submission loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 784 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 auditing an ICRA paper for upload — PaperPlaza account and metadata, the 6-page-plus-2-reference-page limit, IEEE two-column template compliance, the double-anonymous rule introduced in the 2026 cycle, video-attachment specs (180 s, 20 MB), dual-submission conflicts with RA-L, and return-without-review triggers.

ICRA Submission

Final-gate audit for a direct ICRA conference submission on PaperPlaza (ras.papercept.net), the RAS submission system used across ICRA, IROS, and RA-L. Everything here is anchored to the verified ICRA 2026 cycle; the numbers move, so open the current year's "call for papers" page before trusting any of them.

Hard limits (2026-cycle values — reverify each year)

Check2026 ruleConsequence if violated
Page count at submission6 pages of content + up to 2 pages containing only referencesReturned without review
FormatIEEE two-column conference template (RAS PaperPlaza support page templates), PDF onlyCompliance failure at upload
AnonymityDouble-anonymous: no authors/affiliations in the PDF; full author list entered in PaperPlaza metadataAdministrative rejection
Video attachment≤ 180 seconds, ≤ 20 MB, one of mpeg/mp4/mpgRejected by the upload form
Video timingOnly inside the posted windows (2026: Aug 5–Sep 9 and Sep 17–22)No video on record, no late path
DeadlineSep 15, 2025, 23:59 Pacific (not AoE)Closed portal

The Pacific-time detail is a live trap: authors calibrated to AoE deadlines at ML conferences lose up to five hours.

The 2026 anonymity turn

Through ICRA 2025, review was single-blind — author names printed on page one. The 2026 cycle switched to double-anonymous. Concretely:

  • Strip the author block, affiliations, and identifying acknowledgements/grant numbers from the PDF; keep the full, final author list in PaperPlaza metadata (it cannot be extended casually later — treat the metadata list as binding).
  • Rewrite platform tells: "our previously developed XYZ-Arm [12]" becomes "the XYZ-Arm [12]" with third-person citation.
  • Blur or crop lab-identifying scenery in figures and in the video attachment — posters on the wall, safety vests with logos, institute door signs.
  • Anonymize linked material: a GitHub URL with a lab organization name is an identity leak. Use an anonymized mirror or omit the link at submission.
  • Because the policy is one cycle old, confirm it still holds for the target year before de-anonymizing or re-anonymizing anything.

PaperPlaza mechanics worth knowing in advance

  • Every author needs a PaperPlaza PIN; collecting PINs from six co-authors on deadline night is a known time sink — do it the week the site opens.
  • The system runs its own PDF compliance test (fonts embedded, page size, page count); a failing PDF can be re-uploaded until the deadline, so test early.
  • Keywords/session topics are chosen from a fixed RAS taxonomy and steer which Associate Editor sees the paper — pick the two or three closest, not the broadest.
  • The submission confirmation email is the only receipt; archive it.

PDF craft the compliance checker enforces

  • Fonts must be embedded — the usual failures are figures exported from MATLAB/matplotlib with Type 3 or missing fonts; regenerate with embedded TrueType/Type 1 before deadline week.
  • US Letter page size per the IEEE template; a European A4 build fails quietly.
  • Vector figures where possible: reviewers zoom into plots of contact forces and trajectories, and rasterized 300-dpi exports turn to mush at 400%.
  • Keep the final PDF a sane size — a 60 MB paper full of uncompressed photos strains the system and the reviewers' patience even where no hard cap bites.

Dual-submission and the RA-L boundary

The same manuscript may not be simultaneously under review at ICRA and anywhere else — including RA-L, arXiv exempted (a preprint is allowed; check the current policy text for wording). The clean patterns:

  • ICRA reject in January → revise → RA-L in February. Legal and common.
  • RA-L accept in autumn → transfer within the posted window for conference presentation. Legal; this is the designed pathway.
  • Same PDF to ICRA (September) and RA-L (October) "to hedge": dual submission, discoverable trivially since both run on PaperPlaza infrastructure with overlapping editorial boards.

Metadata fields that outlive the deadline

Three PaperPlaza fields have consequences authors rarely anticipate:

  • Author list: feeds the eventual IEEE Xplore record; a co-author omitted "to add later" creates an authorship dispute vector, not a placeholder.
  • Keywords: route the paper to an Editor's area and its reviewer pool — effectively the only reviewer-selection influence authors get (see icra-review-process).
  • Abstract: printed in the program and reviewer-bidding views; a stale abstract that diverges from the PDF makes bidding reviewers feel misled.

Return-without-review triage

text
severity ▲
  │ 7-page content body ............... certain return, no repair after deadline
  │ author names on page 1 (2026+) .... administrative reject
  │ template swapped for ML style ..... compliance flag, likely return
  │ references interleaved so page 7
  │   contains prose ................... counts against content limit — fix now
  │ video 200 s / 25 MB ............... attachment refused; trim or re-encode
  │ acknowledgements naming the grant
  │   and PI .......................... anonymity leak; delete for review
  ▼ metadata abstract ≠ PDF abstract ... sloppiness signal to the AE; sync them

Pre-upload sequence (final 48 hours)

  1. Regenerate the PDF from a clean clone of the paper repo; confirm the IEEE template class file is untouched.
  2. Run the page split check: content ends on or before page 6; pages 7-8 contain nothing but the bibliography.
  3. Anonymity sweep: PDF metadata (pdfinfo), acknowledgements, self-citations, figure backgrounds, video frames, embedded links.
  4. Play the video attachment start to finish on a machine without the lab codecs; verify duration, size, and that captions carry no names.
  5. Enter/verify PaperPlaza metadata: authors, keywords, abstract synced to PDF.
  6. Upload paper and video; pass the compliance check; archive the confirmation.
