What it does

Mobisys Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning a MobiSys project timeline backward from the single early-December paper deadline through registration, two-round review with an early-reject cut, the rebuttal, notification, artifact evaluation, camera-ready, and the June conference — with device-experiment lead time built in and the one-deadline-per-year risk made explicit.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 MobiSys project timeline backward from the single early-December paper deadline through registration
  • Two-round review with an early-reject cut
  • Artifact evaluation
  • The June conference — with device-experiment lead time built in and the one-deadline-per-year risk made explicit

Example prompts

  • “/mobisys-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

Mobisys Workflow loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 528 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

description
Use when planning a MobiSys project timeline backward from the single early-December paper deadline through registration, two-round review with an early-reject cut, the rebuttal, notification, artifact evaluation, camera-ready, and the June conference — with device-experiment lead time built in and the one-deadline-per-year risk made explicit.

MobiSys Workflow

Use this as the project-management skill for a MobiSys submission. Replace every date with the current official timetable and work backward from the one hard December cutoff on the mobisys<yy>.hotcrp.com/deadlines page.

MobiSys is a conference, not a journal: no standing editor-in-chief, no article-processing charge. The rotating leadership is the per-edition General Chairs and Program Chairs (2026 General Chairs: Fahim Kawsar and Cecilia Mascolo; Program Chairs 待核实). Committees rotate yearly — re-check the current organizing-committee page rather than carrying a name forward.

The one-deadline calendar

Unlike MobiCom and NSDI, which run two deadlines a year, MobiSys runs a single paper deadline in early December feeding the following June conference. There is no second gate this cycle to catch a slip. That single fact governs the whole plan: the device experiments must be finished, not started, before December.

Milestones

  • Venue fit: confirm the contribution is a mobile/embedded system whose device behavior is the result (mobisys-topic-selection).
  • Evidence lock: freeze the system design and finish the on-device measurement campaign — energy, latency, memory, thermal, and any deployment/user study.
  • Paper registration: register title, abstract, authors, and conflicts on HotCRP before the registration cutoff that precedes the paper upload.
  • Paper deadline: upload the anonymous 12-page double-column PDF and required HotCRP fields.
  • Round-1 outcome: early-reject notifications go out; survivors proceed to round 2.
  • Round-2 reviews + rebuttal: read reviews, then draft a scope-limited rebuttal (mobisys-author-response).
  • Notification: archive reviews, rebuttal, and decision.
  • Acceptance: prepare the ACM camera-ready, artifact-evaluation submission, registration, and the June in-person talk and demo.

Backward plan from the December deadline

Weeks out (heuristic)Mobile-systems milestone
12+System built; measurement harness and power instrument working end to end
8On-device runs complete on all target devices; energy/latency logged with provenance
6Deployment or user study done if the claim is a service
4Full draft sitting in the 12-page ACM double-column template
3Internal mock review by a systems reader; break-condition experiment added
2Anonymity sweep including device/trace giveaways; artifact package smoke-tested
1Numbers regenerated from logs so PDF and artifact cannot diverge
0Registration then paper on HotCRP before the UTC cutoff

These offsets are planning heuristics only — anchor each to the current official timetable, never to a previous cycle's calendar.

Failure modes by stage

  • Starting device measurement in November forces single-device, single-run results that read as under-evaluated — the classic MobiSys evidence reject.
  • Leaving format conversion to the final week surfaces overflow late; the 12-page double-column budget is tighter than a working draft once figures are placed.
  • Skipping the mock review forfeits the only chance to hear "your energy boundary is undefined" from a colleague instead of a reviewer.
  • Building the artifact after the paper deadline forfeits the ACM badges, which need a working script-first package the AEC can run on its own machines (mobisys-artifact-evaluation).

Coordination notes

  • Assign one named owner for the on-device measurement provenance and another for the anonymity sweep; shared ownership is how both slip.
  • Archive the exact submitted PDF, supplement, and artifact commit, since rebuttal replies must quote them precisely and camera-ready must match the reviewed version.
  • Because a miss costs a full year, decide the go/no-go on evidence completeness by the four-week mark, not on deadline night.
