What it does
Issta Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when auditing an ISSTA submission for HotCRP readiness, the 18-page (excluding references) limit, ACM sigconf plus review and anonymous formatting, double-anonymous integrity, the January deadline, artifact intent, track choice among research/experience/replicability, and desk-reject triggers before the phase-one upload.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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
- Auditing an ISSTA submission for HotCRP readiness
- The 18-page (excluding references) limit
- ACM sigconf plus review and anonymous formatting
- Double-anonymous integrity
Example prompts
- “/issta-submission”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Freeze the technique's scope and threat model; reviewers grade claims against the scope you set.
- Regenerate every results table from logged runs so the PDF and the artifact cannot diverge.
- Pin subjects and benchmark versions (Defects4J revision, subject SHAs) in the paper and artifact.
- Run the anonymity sweep: PDF metadata, \author block, acknowledgements, repository owner strings.
- Confirm the HotCRP abstract matches the PDF abstract and the topic tags match the reviewer pool.
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
Issta Submission loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 506 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 ISSTA submission for HotCRP readiness, the 18-page (excluding references) limit, ACM sigconf plus review and anonymous formatting, double-anonymous integrity, the January deadline, artifact intent, track choice among research/experience/replicability, and desk-reject triggers before the phase-one upload.
ISSTA Submission
Use this for an ISSTA research-paper submission audit. Reopen the current Research Papers call,
the important-dates page, the ACM sigconf template, and the HotCRP site before giving
deadline-ready advice — ISSTA's submission model changes between editions and is the first thing
to re-verify.
Submission audit
- Confirm the target is the ISSTA research track, not a co-located workshop, the Doctoral Symposium, or a sibling venue. ISSTA 2026 also invited Experience Papers and Replicability Studies — pick the track that matches the contribution's evidence, not its topic alone.
- Build the HotCRP record early: title, abstract, authors, conflicts, and topic tags. Register the paper before the deadline even if the PDF is still moving; a late HotCRP creation cannot be undone.
- Apply the ACM
sigconftemplate with thereview(line numbers) andanonymousoptions. Do not shrink margins, fonts, or spacing to fit — format tampering is a named desk-reject trigger. - Fit the 18-page limit that excludes references only. In 2026 every section, figure, table, and appendix counted against the 18; there is no separate unlimited appendix, so decision-critical content lives in the body or in the artifact, not in overflow pages.
- Enforce double-anonymous review: no author names or affiliations, third-person self-citations, anonymized or withheld repository links, and no identifying PDF metadata.
- Decide the artifact plan now. The artifact-evaluation track is separate and later, but the paper should already promise what it will archive, and the review-time copy must be anonymous.
Blocking risks
- Late HotCRP registration or PDF upload against the phase-one deadline.
- Over the 18-page limit, or
sigconfformat modified. - Identity leak in text, self-citation phrasing, repository link, or PDF metadata.
- Wrong track (a replicability study filed as a research paper, or vice versa).
- Evaluation too thin to survive the soundness and evaluation criteria — a review-stage loss even when nothing is technically desk-rejectable.

Desk-reject and triage table
| Trigger | Severity at ISSTA | Repair window |
|---|---|---|
| Over 18 pages (excluding references) | Desk reject | None after the deadline |
sigconf format tampering | Desk reject | None |
| Author identity leak in PDF or metadata | Desk reject | None |
Missing review/anonymous options | Chair flag | Only before the deadline |
| Evaluation without real subjects or a baseline | Review-stage loss | Fixable only before submission |
Final-week sequence for a testing/analysis paper
- Freeze the technique's scope and threat model; reviewers grade claims against the scope you set.
- Regenerate every results table from logged runs so the PDF and the artifact cannot diverge.
- Pin subjects and benchmark versions (Defects4J revision, subject SHAs) in the paper and artifact.
- Run the anonymity sweep: PDF metadata,
\authorblock, acknowledgements, repository owner strings. - Confirm the HotCRP abstract matches the PDF abstract and the topic tags match the reviewer pool.
Format anchors
- ISSTA uses ACM
sigconf, a two-column layout; wide code listings, algorithm blocks, and multi-column result tables overflow easily, so compress or use full-width spans early rather than on deadline night. - The 18-page figure describes the 2026 cycle; older editions used 10 pages plus 2 for references. Treat every number as provisional and reopen the current call before relying on it.
