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 Research & Science, covering Reproducible research. 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 IEEE ICSME research-track submission for EasyChair readiness
  • Covering the abstract-then-paper two-step deadline
  • The IEEEtran two-column 10+2 page budget
  • Double-anonymous review

Example prompts

  • “/icsme-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Freeze the body early; references can churn, the argument cannot.
  2. Register title/abstract/authors/topics on EasyChair well before the abstract cutoff.
  3. Build the anonymized artifact and place its link and data-availability statement in the paper.
  4. Run the mechanical anonymity checks on the final PDF and the final archive, not drafts.
  5. Fill every EasyChair field — topics that match your evidence, conflicts for every coauthor's
  6. Re-download the uploaded PDF and read it cold to confirm it is the file you meant.

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pdftotext

    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

Icsme Submission loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 728 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
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.

description
Use when auditing an IEEE ICSME research-track submission for EasyChair readiness, covering the abstract-then-paper two-step deadline, the IEEEtran two-column 10+2 page budget, double-anonymous review, the open-science data-availability expectation, and desk-reject triage before the AoE cutoff.

ICSME Submission

Run this audit before uploading to the ICSME EasyChair site. ICSME research papers are IEEE conference papers that publish in IEEE Xplore, judged in a single double-anonymous round. Every number below was read from the ICSME 2026 research-papers call on 2026-07-09 via search renderings of the conf.researchr.org and EasyChair URLs (see resources/official-source-map.md); treat them as a one-cycle snapshot and reopen the live call first.

The abstract-then-paper two-step

ICSME separates abstract registration from full-paper upload, and both are AoE:

  • Abstract locks in title, abstract, authors, and topic areas about a week early (ICSME 2026: 27 February 2026). New submissions are not accepted after this; only updates to registered ones.
  • Full paper uploads the anonymized PDF (ICSME 2026: 6 March 2026).

Register with the real title and abstract, not a placeholder — the abstract drives reviewer bidding on EasyChair, and a registered abstract that diverges from the final paper worsens your PC match and can strand the submission if you miss the abstract cutoff.

Format and page budget

  • IEEE two-column conference proceedings format, \documentclass[conference]{IEEEtran} for LaTeX; Word users take the US-Letter IEEE template. This is the IEEE path — do not carry an ACM acmart single-column habit over from ICSE-adjacent ACM venues or from FSE.
  • Page budget (verify per cycle): ICSME 2026 posts 10 pages including all text, figures, tables, and appendices, plus up to 2 pages containing references only. There is no separate unlimited appendix — anything reviewers must read to judge the paper lives inside the 10 pages.
  • Margins, font size, and column layout are fixed by IEEEtran; editorial compression, not template tampering, is how you recover space. A shrunk font or widened text block is a named desk-reject.

Double-anonymous sweep

ICSME runs double-anonymous review: author identity must be hidden from reviewers. Because maintenance/evolution papers lean on named subject systems, mined repositories, and tools, the leak surface is wide:

bash
# Mechanical pass on the submission PDF and any anonymized artifact archive
pdfinfo paper.pdf | grep -Ei 'author|creator|producer'
pdftotext paper.pdf - | grep -nEi 'github\.com/[a-z0-9-]+|gitlab|zenodo\.org/record|acknowledg|grant' | head
unzip -l artifact.zip | grep -Ei '\.git/|\.DS_Store|/home/|/Users/' | head
grep -rni 'university\|@[a-z0-9.]*\.edu\|our (tool|group|lab)' artifact/ --include='*.md' | head

The ICSME-specific leaks: a study that names your own system as the subject, a mined corpus that is obviously your public GitHub org, a tool named after your lab, commit metadata inside a zipped repository, and a data-availability link pointing at a personal account. Refer to your own prior maintenance studies in the third person, and re-host artifacts behind an anonymizing service before upload.

Open science at submission time

ICSME's ROSE-Festival culture makes open science the default expectation, even at review time:

  • Provide an anonymized artifact link (or upload anonymized material) and a data-availability statement describing the mined corpus, subject systems, scripts, and where they will live after acceptance.
  • Pin mining provenance now — repository SHAs, extraction dates, inclusion/exclusion criteria — and cache any LLM outputs; these cannot be reconstructed at review time.
  • If confidentiality (an industrial legacy system, proprietary change history) blocks sharing, say so and why; a silent gap reads as a scored weakness, not a neutral choice.

Desk-risk triage

Finding at audit timeSeverityReal fix
Main text over 10 pages (figures/appendices counted)Desk-reject-gradeCut or move to the artifact; the 2 reference pages do not absorb body text
Template altered (margins, shrunk font, wrong class)Named desk-reject groundRecompile clean IEEEtran conference, recover space editorially
Identity leak in PDF, artifact, subject-system choice, or tool nameAnonymity violationRe-anonymize and re-host; scrub PDF metadata
Abstract not registered by the earlier dateNo submission slot existsNothing fixes this post-AoE — calendar it now
No availability statement, no artifactScored against the paper under ROSE normsAdd the statement + an anonymized package
Same study under review elsewhereDual-submission exposureWithdraw one venue; verify the current concurrent-submission wording

Final-week order of operations

  1. Freeze the body early; references can churn, the argument cannot.
  2. Register title/abstract/authors/topics on EasyChair well before the abstract cutoff.
  3. Build the anonymized artifact and place its link and data-availability statement in the paper.
  4. Run the mechanical anonymity checks on the final PDF and the final archive, not drafts.
  5. Fill every EasyChair field — topics that match your evidence, conflicts for every coauthor's institution and recent collaborators — a day early; late conflicts are the classic failure.
  6. Re-download the uploaded PDF and read it cold to confirm it is the file you meant.

Reverify each cycle

  • Whether the abstract-then-paper two-step and its exact dates hold.
  • The page budget (10+2 in 2026) and which IEEEtran revision is required.
  • Supplementary handling, the ROSE-Festival timing, dual-submission wording, and any AI-disclosure rule — all cycle-volatile; none should be assumed stable.
