What it does

Infocom Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when auditing an IEEE INFOCOM main-conference submission for EDAS readiness, covering the two-step abstract-then-paper registration, the IEEEtran two-column 10-page/9-page-of-text budget, double-blind anonymization of the PDF and metadata, the five-papers-per-author cap, and desk-reject triage before the AoE cutoff.

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 Documents & Office, covering PDF. 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 INFOCOM main-conference submission for EDAS readiness
  • Covering the two-step abstract-then-paper registration
  • The IEEEtran two-column 10-page/9-page-of-text budget
  • Double-blind anonymization of the PDF and metadata

Example prompts

  • “/infocom-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Freeze the body early; the system model and results cannot churn in the last days.
  2. Enter title/abstract/co-authors into EDAS before the abstract cutoff; confirm the ≤200-word
  3. Compile with the exact IEEEtran preamble; measure the 9-page text boundary with references
  4. Run the mechanical double-blind checks on the final PDF, including pdfinfo metadata.
  5. Fill every EDAS field — topics that match your evidence so the automated assignment routes you
  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

Infocom Submission loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 723 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
~1.6k

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.

Use when auditing an IEEE INFOCOM main-conference submission for EDAS readiness, covering the two-step abstract-then-paper registration, the IEEEtran two-column 10-page/9-page-of-text budget, double-blind anonymization of the PDF and metadata, the five-papers-per-author cap, and desk-reject triage before the AoE cutoff.

INFOCOM Submission

Run this audit before the EDAS deadline. INFOCOM is a large IEEE ComSoc flagship — on the order of ~1,400-1,500 submissions per year — so mechanical non-compliance is caught at scale and papers over the length limit are simply not reviewed. Every number below was read from the INFOCOM 2026/2027 Call for Papers and Submission Guidelines on 2026-07-09 via search renderings of the ieee-infocom.org URLs (see resources/official-source-map.md); treat them as a one-cycle snapshot and reopen the live call first.

The two-step deadline (abstract, then paper)

INFOCOM separates the abstract/metadata registration from the full-paper upload, both on EDAS and both AoE:

  • Abstract/metadata (INFOCOM 2026: 24 July 2025) locks title, all co-authors, and a ≤200-word abstract into EDAS. This metadata drives the automated review assignment, so it must reflect the real paper.
  • Full paper (INFOCOM 2026: 31 July 2025; INFOCOM 2027: 31 July 2026) uploads the anonymized PDF. Miss the abstract step and EDAS will not accept the PDF later.

Register with the real title and abstract, not a placeholder — the assignment system matches your manuscript and abstract to TPC members' publications, and a vague abstract worsens your reviewer fit before a human ever reads the paper.

Format and page budget (hard)

  • IEEEtran.cls version 1.8, unmodified, two-column: \documentclass[10pt, conference, letterpaper]{IEEEtran}, 10-point Times, default margins and line spacing. This is the IEEE path, not ACM/USENIX — do not carry an acmart single-column habit over from a sibling venue.
  • Page budget: 10 pages maximum. The main text — including figures, tables, appendices, and everything other than references — must be no more than 9 pages; only references may use the 10th page. There is no separate supplementary or appendix channel at review time.
  • Papers that violate the length limit are not reviewed — this is a mechanical, non-negotiable screen, not a soft preference. Recover space by editing, never by shrinking the font or margins.

Double-blind sweep

INFOCOM runs double-blind review: author identities are removed from the PDF title page, body, and PDF metadata. Because networking papers lean on testbeds, traces, and released tools, the leak surface is wide:

bash
# Mechanical pass on the submission PDF before EDAS upload
pdfinfo paper.pdf | grep -Ei 'author|creator|producer'   # scrub metadata identity
pdftotext paper.pdf - | grep -nEi 'github\.com/[a-z0-9-]+|our (prior|previous) (work|system)|acknowledg|this work was supported' | head
grep -nEi '\\thanks|\\author\{[^}]*[A-Za-z]' paper.tex | head   # stray author/thanks blocks

The networking-specific leaks: a self-citation phrased as "our previous system," a testbed or university cluster name, a released-tool GitHub URL, a funding/acknowledgement line left in, and identifying dataset names. Cite your own prior work in the third person and defer acknowledgements and grant numbers to the camera-ready.

The five-paper cap

An individual may be listed as author or co-author on at most five papers submitted to a given INFOCOM; if exceeded, only the first five received before the deadline are reviewed. On a large group's submission sprint, confirm nobody crosses the cap before the abstract deadline — EDAS enforces it on receipt order, and a late sixth paper is silently dropped.

Same work under review elsewhereDual-submission exposureWithdraw one venue; verify the current concurrent-submission wording

Final-week order of operations

  1. Freeze the body early; the system model and results cannot churn in the last days.
  2. Enter title/abstract/co-authors into EDAS before the abstract cutoff; confirm the ≤200-word abstract matches the paper.
  3. Compile with the exact IEEEtran preamble; measure the 9-page text boundary with references excluded, not the 10-page total.
  4. Run the mechanical double-blind checks on the final PDF, including pdfinfo metadata.
  5. Fill every EDAS field — topics that match your evidence so the automated assignment routes you to the right TPC members, and every coauthor's affiliation — a day early.
  6. Re-download the uploaded PDF and read it cold to confirm it is the file you meant.

Reverify each cycle

  • The exact abstract and full-paper dates and their AoE/ET cutoffs.
  • The page-budget wording (the 9-of-10 text/references split) and which IEEEtran revision is required.
  • The per-author paper cap (5 for 2026), dual-submission wording, and any AI-disclosure rule — all cycle-volatile.
