What it does

Micro Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning a MICRO campaign end to end — the April-to-Athens 2026 cycle clock, the four-venue architecture calendar (MICRO/ISCA/HPCA/ASPLOS) seen from MICRO's October seat, resubmission lattices after each outcome, and starting the MICRO 2027 evaluation stack early enough to matter.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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

  • Planning a MICRO campaign end to end — the April-to-Athens 2026 cycle clock
  • The four-venue architecture calendar (MICRO/ISCA/HPCA/ASPLOS) seen from MICROs October seat
  • Resubmission lattices after each outcome
  • Starting the MICRO 2027 evaluation stack early enough to matter

Example prompts

  • “/micro-workflow”

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

Micro Workflow loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 737 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~76
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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.

MICRO Workflow

MICRO owns the autumn slot of computer architecture's four-venue year: an early April deadline feeding an end-of-October symposium. Because the four sibling venues interleave, a MICRO plan is really a lattice plan — every outcome has a next move within roughly four months. Dates below verified 2026-07-08; every one is a single-cycle snapshot.

The 2026 cycle clock (59th edition, Athens)

text
2026-03-31  abstract registration       11:59 PM EDT   hard gate
2026-04-07  full paper                  11:59 PM EDT   micro2026.hotcrp.com
2026-06-03 → 06-17  rebuttal/revision   two-week window (micro-author-response)
2026-07-07  notification
2026-09-11  camera-ready               (AE runs in parallel; micro-camera-ready)
2026-10-31 → 11-04  symposium, Athens, Greece

As of this pack's check date (2026-07-08), the 2026 cycle had just issued decisions — the live work is camera-ready + AE for accepts, and lattice routing for rejects. The next MICRO submission opportunity is the 2027 cycle, expected in the same early-April position (待核实 when microarch.org posts it).

MICRO 2026Apr 7, 2026 (closed)Oct 31–Nov 4, 2026, AthensMechanism-centric core work

MICRO 2027~April 2027, 待核实autumn 2027Full-year rework or a new project

The rhythm to internalize: architecture deadlines cluster in April (MICRO, ASPLOS-1st), July (HPCA), September (ASPLOS-2nd), and November (ISCA) — one submission window roughly every quarter. A healthy lab pipeline drafts against the next two windows simultaneously.

Backward plan for a MICRO 2027 submission

Working back from an assumed early-April 2027 deadline (verify the real date):

WhenMilestoneOwner risk
Aug–Sep 2026Mechanism sketch + micro-topic-selection gate; infrastructure choice (simulator, workloads)Wrong venue discovered late
Oct–Nov 2026Baseline validated against published configs; characterization study doneUntuned baseline poisons all later data
Dec 2026Mechanism implemented in simulator; first end-to-end numbers"It simulates" ≠ "it is modeled correctly"
Jan 2027Ablations + sensitivity sweeps; power/area modeling attachedSweeps are compute-bound — queue early
Feb 2027Full draft; internal red-team review against micro-writing-styleCost accounting missing
Mar 2027Freeze evaluation; micro-reproducibility manifests complete; format passLate "one more feature" restarts sweeps
T-7 daysAbstract registered in HotCRPMissing the registration gate ends everything
T-0Upload (EDT arithmetic!)See micro-submission

The structural insight: in microarchitecture the evaluation stack is the schedule. Simulator bring-up, trace generation, and multi-week sweep queues dominate; prose is the cheap part. Any plan that allocates most of its calendar to writing is mis-costed.

Wed   claims meeting: does yesterday's data still support the paper's sentences?
Fri   risk register walk (table above) + one live-page re-verification

Outcome branches (July 7 has happened)

  • Accepted: run micro-camera-ready and micro-artifact-evaluation as parallel tracks converging on September 11; book Athens logistics once attendance rules are confirmed (待核实 on micro59/attend/).
  • Rejected, methodology wounds: the HPCA July 24 window is realistically only for papers whose fixes are textual; simulation repairs point at ISCA Nov 17.
  • Rejected, "not microarchitectural enough": ASPLOS Sept 9 with a cross-layer reframe — see micro-topic-selection routing table.
  • Any branch: archive reviews, update the results ledger, and file rebuttal promises as the next version's spec.

Multi-paper pipelines and self-competition

Labs running more than one submission per cycle share one sweep queue and one set of senior readers — schedule both explicitly:

  • Stagger internal red-team reviews (micro-writing-style checklist) so the same professor is not reading two full drafts in deadline week.
  • Deconflict topics in HotCRP if two submissions are adjacent; two papers from one lab splitting the same reviewer pool can drag each other down in double-blind bidding without anyone noticing until the reviews land.
  • After notification, the lattice branches diverge per paper — keep one shared calendar of the four venues' gates (table above) so a July HPCA sprint for paper A does not silently consume the cluster paper B needs for its ISCA repairs.
