What it does

Isca Camera Ready is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when converting an accepted ISCA paper into its published form — de-anonymizing authors, acknowledgments, and artifact links; satisfying the edition's publisher workflow under the alternating ACM/IEEE arrangement; integrating shepherd requirements and badges; and preparing the June talk and attendance logistics.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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

  • Converting an accepted ISCA paper into its published form — de-anonymizing authors
  • Acknowledgments
  • Satisfying the editions publisher workflow under the alternating ACM/IEEE arrangement
  • Integrating shepherd requirements and badges

Example prompts

  • “/isca-camera-ready”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Registration — whether a specific author-registration category is
  2. Talk — the community's norm is mechanism-forward: motivate with your
  3. Poster/lightning collateral if the edition uses them — 待核实.
  4. Publicity — once the proceedings version exists: update the arXiv record

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

Isca Camera Ready loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 734 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

ISCA Camera-Ready

Acceptance starts a second, administrative project with real failure modes: papers have appeared with anonymization stubs intact, dead artifact links, and acknowledgments naming the wrong grant. The 2026 edition maintained a dedicated camera-ready guidelines page (iscaconf.org/isca2026/submit/cameraready.php — its detailed contents were not directly fetchable at verification time, so the specific instructions below marked practice are community-standard rather than quoted rules; the page itself is the authority — 待核实 per edition).

The publisher variable unique to ISCA

ISCA's ACM SIGARCH + IEEE-CS TCCA co-sponsorship shows up concretely at camera-ready: the publishing arrangement varies by edition (the 52nd edition's proceedings were ACM-published; the 2026 edition carried IEEE branding and pointed LaTeX users at an IEEE template). Everything downstream — rights forms, copyright blocks, final template, DOI issuer, submission portal for finals — follows the edition's publisher. Rule one of ISCA camera-ready: identify this edition's publisher workflow before touching the LaTeX, and expect it to differ from the last ISCA you published at.

De-anonymization is a checklist, not a mood

Work from the submission's blinding actions and invert each one deliberately:

Was blinded at submissionCamera-ready action
Author block absentFull names, affiliations, emails — order confirmed by all coauthors in writing before upload
PDF metadata scrubbedRegenerate with true metadata; verify with pdfinfo
Artifact links anonymizedSwap in canonical repo + archival DOI (isca-artifact-evaluation); click every link from the final PDF
Third-person self-citationsRecast where the prose reads absurdly; keep where fine
Acknowledgments omittedAdd funders with exact grant numbers, contributors, and any disclosure the publisher's policy requires
Neutralized cluster/trace namesRestore real names where licenses permit
bash
# Final-PDF de-anonymization verification (inverse of the submission sweep)
pdfinfo final.pdf | grep -i author            # now SHOULD list authors
pdftotext final.pdf - | grep -ci 'anonym'     # expect 0
pdftotext final.pdf - | grep -nE 'blind review|under submission' # expect none
pdftotext final.pdf - | grep -oE 'https?://[^ )]+' | sort -u > links.txt
while read -r u; do curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code} %s\n' "$u" "$u"; \
  done < links.txt | grep -v '^200'           # every link in the paper resolves

Shepherds and required changes

If the acceptance carries a shepherd or a mandatory-revisions list, that list is a condition, not a suggestion. Practice that keeps this smooth: send the shepherd a change memo (item → what changed → where) with the revised draft, early enough for one round of disagreement; where you believe a requested change is wrong, negotiate in the memo — never silently skip an item and hope.

Content changes: repair, don't remodel

Camera-ready is for review-driven repairs and accuracy fixes. If numbers changed (a bug found post-acceptance, a rerun under the fixed seed), correct them and ensure abstract/intro claims still match the tables — publishing known- stale numbers because "it was accepted with them" is how errata happen. Do not add new contributions; the version of record should be the reviewed paper, healed. Any camera-ready page allowance beyond the submission's 11 text pages is edition-specific and was not verified — 待核实 before planning to grow.

Badges, statements, and the artifact block

Coordinate with the AE track (isca-artifact-evaluation): earned badges are applied to the published paper under the ACM badging framework, and the camera-ready typically carries an artifact-availability statement with the archival DOI. Get the DOI before the camera-ready deadline by depositing the evaluated snapshot early; retrofitting a DOI after the proceedings freeze is somewhere between painful and impossible.

The June obligations

The 2026 conference ran June 27 - July 1 in Raleigh. Between camera-ready and the conference, in rough order of deadline pressure:

  1. Registration — whether a specific author-registration category is mandatory per paper was not verified (待核实, and commonly true at flagship venues); resolve it the week of acceptance, with visa lead times in mind for international authors.
  2. Talk — the community's norm is mechanism-forward: motivate with your measured data, spend the middle on how the design works (the walk-through from isca-writing-style translates directly to slides), end on the honest limits. Rehearse against the session's time slot, not a guess at it.
  3. Poster/lightning collateral if the edition uses them — 待核实.
  4. Publicity — once the proceedings version exists: update the arXiv record if one exists, the lab page, and the repo README to cite the canonical DOI, so the version of record accretes the citations.

Sequence for the six-or-so weeks

text
Week 0   Read THIS edition's camera-ready page top to bottom; identify
         publisher, template, rights form, portal, true deadline (AoE?).
Week 1   Shepherd memo (if any) + content repairs; coauthor sign-off on
         author order and affiliations.
Week 2   De-anonymization checklist; acknowledgments with grant numbers;
         artifact DOI deposited.
Week 3   Publisher template pass; rights form executed by the authorized
         author; metadata (title case, abstract, keywords) entered exactly.
Week 4   Link check + verification script above on the actual final PDF;
         upload; download back and re-verify what the portal stored.
Buffer   Publisher back-and-forth (format rejections are routine, not
         emergencies) + registration + talk drafting.

Final gate before upload

  • Publisher, template, and rights form identified from THIS edition's pages
  • Author block, order, and affiliations signed off by every coauthor
  • De-anonymization checklist fully inverted; verification script clean
  • Shepherd/mandatory items all addressed with a change memo
  • Artifact DOI live; badge coordination confirmed with AE chairs
  • Acknowledgments carry exact grant numbers and required disclosures
  • Portal's stored PDF downloaded back and re-verified
  • Registration done; talk slot known; travel and visa in motion

Verified anchors (dates, sponsorship, AE arrangement, 2026 template flavor): ../../resources/official-source-map.md, checked 2026-07-08. The camera-ready page contents, page allowance, rights workflow, and attendance rules for the target edition are the controlling sources once posted.
