What it does

Imc Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about how an ACM IMC submission is evaluated, covering double-blind multi-round review, the Accept / One-Shot-Revision / Reject decision categories, the reviewer-champion rule and bounded action points, early rejection of consensus-reject papers, shepherding for artifact availability, and how IMC's two-deadline model differs from SIGCOMM/NSDI cycles.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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

  • Reasoning about how an ACM IMC submission is evaluated
  • Covering double-blind multi-round review
  • The Accept / One-Shot-Revision / Reject decision categories
  • The reviewer-champion rule and bounded action points

Example prompts

  • “/imc-review-process”

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

Imc Review Process loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 98 tokens; SKILL.md has 621 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~98
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 reasoning about how an ACM IMC submission is evaluated, covering double-blind multi-round review, the Accept / One-Shot-Revision / Reject decision categories, the reviewer-champion rule and bounded action points, early rejection of consensus-reject papers, shepherding for artifact availability, and how IMC's two-deadline model differs from SIGCOMM/NSDI cycles.

IMC Review Process

Model the pipeline before interpreting any single review. IMC's process is built around two deadlines a year and a distinctive middle outcome — One-Shot-Revision — that is neither a plain reject nor an open-ended major revision. The most consequential mental shift for authors arriving from a single-round conference is that a good-but-incomplete measurement paper has a bounded path to acceptance across deadlines.

Process model

  • Submission and review run on HotCRP with double-blind anonymity maintained through reviewing.
  • Review proceeds in several rounds. Papers with a consensus for rejection are notified early, so authors can move the work to another venue without waiting for the full cycle.
  • First decisions fall into Accept, One-Shot-Revision, or Reject. Reviewers weigh the significance of the measurement finding, the credibility of vantage points and ground truth, the soundness of methodology, honesty about limitations and confounds, the Ethics treatment, and artifact availability.
  • Accepted papers may be shepherded by PC members — notably to ensure the artifacts promised in the availability declaration are actually made available.

The One-Shot-Revision, precisely

ElementWhat the call specifies
TriggerAt least one reviewer champion advocating the work's relevance and timeliness
ScopeUp to 3 additions/changes — a bounded, concrete action list, not "revise broadly"
ResubmissionTo the next deadline in the two-deadline cycle
Re-reviewBy the same reviewers, against the action points

The strategic reading: a One-Shot-Revision is a contract. It is granted because someone believes in the paper, and it is judged narrowly on whether the named action points were done. Treat it as a near-accept with obligations, not a coin flip (see imc-author-response).

Reading a decision against the categories

DecisionWhat it meansAuthor move
AcceptFinding and method hold; shepherding for availabilityDeliver the promised artifact; do not reopen scope
One-Shot-RevisionA champion exists; a bounded set of gaps (a missing vantage point, a confound to address, an ethics clarification)Execute exactly the named action points; resubmit next deadline to the same reviewers
RejectStructural: unrepresentative vantage points, no ground truth, thin measurement, ethics failureReframe or reroute (SIGCOMM/NSDI/CoNEXT/PAM or a journal); do not lightly resubmit unchanged

Design the submission so its weakest point is an addressable action item (an extra vantage point, a longitudinal slice, a bounded confound) rather than a structural flaw (a study design you cannot redo before the next deadline).

How IMC differs from its siblings

  • vs. SIGCOMM / NSDI: those reward systems and protocol design with a supporting evaluation; IMC rewards the measurement itself and enforces the Ethics gate and availability declaration harder. Never assume a shared calendar or template.
  • vs. a single-deadline conference: IMC's two deadlines plus One-Shot-Revision give a within- year second chance with continuity of reviewers — closer to a lightweight revise-and-resubmit than to "reject and try next year."
  • vs. a journal: the revision is one shot and bounded (up to a few action points), not an open iterative loop.

Who reads you

Expect measurement experts who will interrogate vantage-point representativeness, whether ground truth is real, whether the finding is a snapshot artifact of a moving Internet, and whether the active measurement was safe and ethical. Because IMC spans scanning, DNS, routing, web, security, and social measurement, papers are matched to subarea reviewers — a vague methodology gets caught, not skimmed.

Where author leverage actually exists

text
[Before submission]  topic tags + vantage-point framing -> reviewer pool      (largest lever)
[Initial reviews]    factual corrections, clarifying vantage-point coverage, ethics clarifications
[One-Shot-Revision]  the strongest lever: execute the bounded action points exactly, for the
                     same reviewers, and show each one done
[Shepherding]        deliver the promised artifact; this is about availability, not new science
[After reject]       no appeal; reroute to a sibling venue or a journal

Misreadings to avoid

  • Treating One-Shot-Revision as a full rewrite window — you get a bounded action list and the same reviewers; scope creep signals you missed the point.
  • Treating One-Shot-Revision as guaranteed — the second read against the action points is real.
  • Ignoring the early-reject signal — a consensus-reject notice is a routing prompt, not an invitation to argue.
  • Underestimating shepherding — a promised dataset that never materializes is a real problem.
  • Projecting last year's cadence — deadline dates and revision mechanics are per-edition.

Output format

text
[Process stage] pre-submission / awaiting reviews / one-shot-revision / shepherding / accepted
[Decision category] accept / one-shot-revision / reject, with the criterion driving it
[Champion?] is there a reviewer advocate? which review reads closest?
[Action points] <the bounded list to execute for the next deadline>
[Leverage plan] the next-stage action that can actually change the outcome
[Forbidden moves] identity leak / scope creep beyond the action points / undelivered artifact
