What it does

Icse Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning an ICSE research-track campaign end to end, covering the single-cycle calendar from the June abstract deadline through September response, October decisions, the November revision sprint, artifact evaluation, camera-ready, and the April conference, plus rerouting timelines after rejection.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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

  • Planning an ICSE research-track campaign end to end
  • Covering the single-cycle calendar from the June abstract deadline through September response
  • October decisions
  • The November revision sprint

Example prompts

  • “/icse-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

Icse Workflow loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 635 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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.

ICSE Workflow

An ICSE campaign is a ten-month pipeline with one entrance. The 2027 cycle (checked 2026-07-08 against the official dates pages) runs a single submission cycle — a change from the two-cycle 2025/2026 model — so a missed June deadline costs a full year, and the calendar below is the whole game.

The 2027-cycle master calendar

Date (all AoE where applicable)MilestoneYour workstream
Jun 23, 2026Abstract (mandatory)Real title + abstract frozen
Jun 30, 2026Full paper deadline10+2 IEEE PDF, artifact link live

待核实Camera-ready due+1 page allowance, IEEE production
Apr 25 – May 1, 2027ICSE in Dublin (core Apr 28–30)Talk, artifact, networking plan

Artifact-evaluation and camera-ready dates for 2027 were not posted at check time; the 2026 edition ran artifact registration/submission in early January, which is the planning anchor until real dates appear.

Working backward from June 30

A credible empirical-SE paper cannot be compressed into deadline month, because its long poles — subject recruitment, benchmark construction, multi-week tool runs, qualitative coding with a second rater — do not parallelize late. Plan backward:

text
Jun 30  freeze: PDF + anonymized replication package
Jun 16  full internal mock review against the four criteria
Jun 02  results complete; threats-to-validity written from real limitations
May 05  evaluation running at scale; paper skeleton has real numbers
Apr 07  study design locked (RQs, baselines, metrics, subjects); pilot done
Mar 2026 and earlier: idea vetted with icse-topic-selection; related work swept

The two dates authors most often plan around wrongly: the abstract deadline is mandatory (June 23 — a week before the paper, not a formality), and the response window is September, which lands in teaching-start season for most groups — reserve the days now.

Role assignments that prevent deadline-week chaos

  • Evidence owner — benchmarks, baselines, statistics; owns Jun 2 freeze.
  • Artifact owner — replication package, anonymization, availability statement; owns the link that goes in the paper.
  • Prose owner — the 10-page budget, the threats section, the criterion self-audit.
  • Process owner — HotCRP fields, conflicts, abstract registration, calendar of every date above in the group calendar with AoE conversions.

One person can hold two hats; no hat may be unheld.

Branch plans after October 20

  • Accept: artifact-evaluation submission (badges are opt-in and post-acceptance), camera-ready with the extra page, Dublin logistics.
  • Major Revision: the November sprint is pre-planned before October — which experiments could be extended, which machines are free in November. Groups that first think about feasibility on notification day lose a week of the four.
  • Reject: reroute within weeks, not months. FSE and ASE deadlines typically land in spring/summer, ISSTA in autumn/winter; TSE/TOSEM/EMSE take extended versions year-round, and a journal acceptance can return to the ICSE stage via journal-first (2027 window: papers accepted Oct 11, 2025 – Oct 10, 2026 at TSE/TOSEM/EMSE). Check each venue's live dates — sibling calendars move annually.

Cadence between milestones

The calendar above names endpoints; groups that hit them run a steady between-milestone cadence: a weekly claims-vs-evidence review from April (which headline claim is still unevidenced, who unblocks it), a biweekly package build so the artifact never diverges more than two weeks from the paper, and a standing "deadline minus 14" rehearsal where the current draft is mock-reviewed against the four criteria by someone outside the author list. The mock review is the cheapest Major-Revision insurance available: it finds the missing-baseline and boilerplate-threats objections while there is still a month to fix them rather than four weeks in November.

Cycle-volatility warnings

  • The single-cycle structure itself is the newest variable: 2025/2026 ran two cycles, 2027 runs one. Verify the cycle count first each year, because it changes every downstream date and the rerouting math.
  • Response format, artifact deadlines, camera-ready dates, and registration rules were all unposted for 2027 at check time — 待核实 before promising them to coauthors.
  • Do not let old two-cycle advice ("resubmit to cycle 2") leak into planning; that lane does not exist in 2027.
