What it does

Interspeech Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when auditing an INTERSPEECH submission before the CMT deadline — the strict 4-page-plus-references format, double-anonymous rules and the pre-deadline anonymity period, scientific-area and metadata choices, the post-deadline paper-update window, dual-submission policy, and the desk-reject triggers specific to ISCA's flagship.

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. 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 INTERSPEECH submission before the CMT deadline — the strict 4-page-plus-references format
  • Double-anonymous rules and the pre-deadline anonymity period
  • Scientific-area and metadata choices
  • The post-deadline paper-update window

Example prompts

  • “/interspeech-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Rebuild the PDF from a clean clone; confirm the kit's checker passes.
  2. Anonymity sweep: text, links, metadata, audio-demo pages, repo history.
  3. Freeze metadata early on CMT — the portal slows near the cutoff.
  4. Upload, download what CMT stored, and read that file end to end.
  5. Diary the paper-update close date for the sanctioned typo pass.

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

Interspeech Submission loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 821 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
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 INTERSPEECH submission before the CMT deadline — the strict 4-page-plus-references format, double-anonymous rules and the pre-deadline anonymity period, scientific-area and metadata choices, the post-deadline paper-update window, dual-submission policy, and the desk-reject triggers specific to ISCA's flagship.

INTERSPEECH Submission

Run this audit against the live author pages (Interspeech 2026 kept them under interspeech2026.org → Calls / Author Resources), not against memory. Interspeech re-issues its paper kit every cycle, and the format police here are unusually strict because the whole review pipeline assumes a uniform 4-page object.

The format contract

The regular Interspeech paper is 4 pages of content in two columns, plus one additional page restricted to references and acknowledgments (2025 wording; confirm the 2026 kit). Nothing else goes on page 5. Consequences worth internalizing:

  • There is no appendix escape hatch. Whatever reviewers must see lives in the 4 pages.
  • Figures compete directly with argument; every plot must earn its column-inches.
  • The Long Paper track (introduced for 2026; reported 8 pages + 2 reference pages) has its own rules — do not mix the two templates.
  • Use the official paper kit (LaTeX template on the conference site/Overleaf) with fonts, margins, and the PDF checker untouched. Interspeech validates PDFs mechanically at upload.

Anonymity: stricter than you remember

Interspeech runs double-anonymous review, and since 2025 the policy has included an anonymity period that starts one month before the submission deadline and lasts until decisions: no non-anonymized version of the work may be posted online (arXiv included) in that window. Audit for:

  • Author names, affiliations, grant numbers, and lab-identifying acknowledgments (acknowledgments generally wait for camera-ready).
  • Demo and repository links that resolve to identifiable accounts — speech papers leak identity through audio-sample pages more than through text.
  • Self-citation phrasing ("our previous system [3]") and dataset names that only one lab could hold.
  • PDF metadata and embedded fonts carrying usernames.

The paper-update window (Interspeech's oddest mechanic)

Interspeech allows the PDF to be revised for a short window after the submission deadline — in 2026, submissions closed 25 February and paper updates were accepted until 4 March. Title, authors, abstract, and area typically freeze at the deadline; only the PDF may change. Plan for it deliberately:

Days after deadlineSanctioned use of the update window
0–2Full-team proofread of the actually-submitted PDF
2–5Fix typos, broken references, figure glitches, overfull boxes
5–closeOne final upload; verify the portal shows the new checksum/version

Do not treat the window as a deadline extension for experiments — reviewers may be bidding on the metadata you froze, and wholesale content swaps invite chair scrutiny.

Metadata and area selection

  • The scientific area you pick routes the paper to its reviewer pool; choose for the claim, not the method (see interspeech-topic-selection).
  • Abstract in CMT must match the PDF abstract; it is what reviewers bid on.
  • Declare all authors at submission — post-deadline author changes are restricted.
  • Answer dual-submission questions honestly: the same work may not sit under review at another conference or journal simultaneously.

Desk-reject triggers observed at this venue

  • Fifth page containing anything beyond references/acknowledgments.
  • Template tampering (margin, font, or line-spacing tricks) caught by the PDF check.
  • Identity leakage anywhere in the PDF or linked material.
  • Posting a de-anonymized preprint inside the anonymity period.
  • Missing mandatory metadata fields or an invalid PDF at the CMT cutoff.

Final 72 hours, in order

  1. Rebuild the PDF from a clean clone; confirm the kit's checker passes.
  2. Anonymity sweep: text, links, metadata, audio-demo pages, repo history.
  3. Freeze metadata early on CMT — the portal slows near the cutoff.
  4. Upload, download what CMT stored, and read that file end to end.
  5. Diary the paper-update close date for the sanctioned typo pass.

CMT field audit, one by one

Portal fields outlive the PDF — the Archive entry, review assignment, and program are generated from them:

  • Title: identical to the PDF, punctuation included; it freezes at the deadline in most cycles.
  • Abstract: paste from the PDF source, not from an old draft; reviewers bid on this text.
  • Authors + order: complete and final; adding an author later needs chair intervention. Verify each co-author's CMT account email — collisions create duplicate identities that break conflict detection.
  • Scientific area (+ any secondary): the routing decision from interspeech-topic-selection; do not delegate it to whoever uploads.
  • Conflicts/domains: list every co-author's institutional domains; missed conflicts surface as review-integrity problems months later.
  • Policy checkboxes (dual submission, ethics, anonymity attestations): read the year's wording — the sentences change, and a false attestation is a desk-reject with memory.

If something goes wrong at the wire

  • Portal outage or personal emergency at the cutoff: email the Technical Program Chairs immediately with evidence; discretion exists but shrinks by the hour.
  • Wrong file uploaded and the deadline passed: the paper-update window is your sanctioned repair channel for the PDF — but metadata errors need a chair email.
  • Discovered identity leak after the deadline: update the PDF within the window and document the fix; do not silently hope.

Currency note

The 2026 anchor dates — portal open 17 January, deadline 25 February, update close 4 March, all for the Sydney edition — were checked 2026-07-08 via official-page renderings (see resources/official-source-map.md). Every one of them is cycle-specific; the 2027 São Paulo cycle will publish its own kit and calendar.
