What it does

Icsme Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning an IEEE ICSME project timeline from venue and track choice through abstract registration, paper submission, the early-decision cut and author-response rebuttal, notification, IEEE Xplore camera-ready, the ROSE-Festival artifact evaluation, and presentation, with backward-planning offsets for a maintenance/evolution paper and honest handling of the single-annual-round calendar.

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.

It sits in Research & Science. 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 IEEE ICSME project timeline from venue and track choice through abstract registration
  • Paper submission
  • The early-decision cut and author-response rebuttal
  • IEEE Xplore camera-ready

Example prompts

  • “/icsme-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

Icsme Workflow loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 664 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
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.

description
Use when planning an IEEE ICSME project timeline from venue and track choice through abstract registration, paper submission, the early-decision cut and author-response rebuttal, notification, IEEE Xplore camera-ready, the ROSE-Festival artifact evaluation, and presentation, with backward-planning offsets for a maintenance/evolution paper and honest handling of the single-annual-round calendar.

ICSME Workflow

Use this as the project-management skill for an ICSME submission. Replace every date with the current official timetable and work backwards from the EasyChair abstract cutoff — which precedes the paper deadline. ICSME runs a single annual research round with no journal-style Major Revision: a paper is accepted or rejected in one cycle, so front-load the evidence and plan the author-response rebuttal, not a revise-and-resubmit.

ICSME is an IEEE conference with no standing editor-in-chief and no APC: proceedings go to IEEE Xplore and the cost model is registration. Rotating leadership is the per-edition General and Program Co-Chairs (ICSME 2026 committee roster 待核实 on the access date); re-check the organizing-committee page rather than carrying names forward. ICSME 2026 is the 42nd edition in Benevento, Italy (University of Sannio), 14-18 September 2026, co-located with SCAM and VISSOFT.

Milestones

  • Venue and track fit: confirm ICSME over ICSE/FSE/SANER/MSR and pick the track — research, Journal-First, Registered Reports, RENE, NIER, tool-demo, or industry (icsme-topic-selection).
  • Evidence lock: freeze research questions, subject systems and their change history, baselines, statistics, threats, and the artifact contents.
  • Abstract registration: submit real title, abstract, authors, and topics by the earlier abstract deadline (ICSME 2026: 27 Feb 2026).
  • Paper submission: upload the anonymized PDF and data-availability statement (ICSME 2026: 6 Mar 2026).
  • Early-decision cut: at the response period's start, some papers are already Accept or Reject; the rest are "Response Recommended" (ICSME 2026 early decisions: 3 May 2026).
  • Author response: if invited, answer the PC's specific questions with existing evidence.
  • Notification: final accept/reject (ICSME 2026: 29 May 2026); archive reviews and the response.
  • Acceptance: prepare the IEEE Xplore camera-ready, submit to the ROSE-Festival artifact track for IEEE badges, register, and present.

Backward plan from the paper deadline

Weeks out (heuristic)Maintenance/evolution milestone
10+Research questions fixed; subject systems and their change-history window chosen
8Mining / data collection complete; repository SHAs and extraction dates logged
6Analysis done; effect sizes and tests computed; threats drafted alongside results
4Full draft in IEEEtran conference format; artifact assembled and anonymized
3Internal mock review by a maintenance-empiricist reader
2Threats hardened, related-work delta sharpened, 10-page budget met
1Anonymity sweep on PDF and artifact; data-availability statement final
0Abstract registered by its earlier cutoff, then paper + artifact link on EasyChair

These offsets are planning heuristics only — anchor every one to the current Important Dates page, never to a previous cycle's calendar.

The single-round calendar reality

ICSME runs one annual research round; the author-response rebuttal is the only mid-cycle lever, and there is no Major Revision to fall back on. Planning consequences:

  • A rejected paper waits a full year at ICSME. Before idling, check whether a sibling (SANER, ICSE, FSE) has a nearer deadline, or whether the work is better routed to TSE/EMSE and returned later via the Journal-First track.
  • A not-yet-finished study may fit Registered Reports (protocol reviewed first) rather than being rushed into the research track and rejected on thin evidence.
  • A replication or negative result has a dedicated home in RENE — do not force it into the research track where novelty framing will hurt it.

Failure modes by stage

  • Mining still running at week 4 forces last-minute analysis nobody has audited — the classic soundness reject for an evolution study.
  • Naming your own subject system or public corpus breaks double-anonymity when the artifact is left to the final week.
  • Skipping the mock review forfeits the one chance to hear "your baseline maintainer study is confounded" from a friend instead of a reviewer.
  • Treating the author response as a debate wastes the single rebuttal ICSME gives you; answer the PC's specific questions with evidence, not argument.

Coordination notes

  • Assign one owner for the data-availability / artifact and another for the anonymity sweep; shared ownership is how both slip under double-anonymity.
  • Archive the exact submitted PDF and artifact; the response period must quote the paper precisely and stay anonymous.
  • The ROSE-Festival artifact submission is a separate, post-acceptance deadline shared with SCAM and VISSOFT — calendar it apart from the camera-ready.
