What it does

Naacl Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about how a NAACL decision actually gets made — the division of labor between ACL Rolling Review (reviews, meta-review) and the NAACL program committee (commitment-stage acceptance into Main or Findings), where author leverage exists at each stage, and how the skipped-year calendar shapes committee behavior.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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.

Workflow steps

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

  1. Mid-October: anonymous PDF enters the ARR cycle on OpenReview.
  2. Early November: compliance screening; desk rejections notified.
  3. November: three reviews written; author response window opens after
  4. Mid-December: meta-review synthesized; the package is now complete and
  5. Turn of the year: authors commit the package to NAACL 2025 (or hold it,
  6. January: SACs rank committed packages; program chairs set the
  7. Early February: final versions due for both acceptance tiers.
  8. Late April: Albuquerque.

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

Naacl Review Process loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 659 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~87
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 reasoning about how a NAACL decision actually gets made — the division of labor between ACL Rolling Review (reviews, meta-review) and the NAACL program committee (commitment-stage acceptance into Main or Findings), where author leverage exists at each stage, and how the skipped-year calendar shapes committee behavior.

NAACL Review Process

NAACL outsources reviewing and keeps deciding. Understanding which body owns which judgment tells you where effort pays and where it evaporates.

The two-stage machine

Stage 1 — ARR (weeks 0-10 of a cycle). Three or more reviewers score the paper; an action editor synthesizes a meta-review. ARR produces an assessment, not an acceptance: nothing is "in" anywhere yet. Authors see everything and may respond mid-cycle or carry the package away.

Stage 2 — NAACL commitment. Authors forward the frozen package (paper, reviews, response threads, meta-review) to NAACL through OpenReview by the edition's commitment deadline. The chapter's senior area chairs and program chairs then sort committed papers into Main, Findings, or reject. No new reviews are commissioned in the normal path; the SACs reread what exists.

Consequences worth internalizing:

  • Your reviews are portable. A package that misses one NAACL can commit to a later *ACL venue — or, since NAACL skips years, may have to.
  • The response window is your only chance to change the text of the record; commitment is argument-free (aside from brief venue-specific forms some editions allow — verify per edition).
  • Score-hunting via immediate resubmission is policed: ARR requires linking prior submissions with change summaries, and low meta-review scores can restrict quick re-entry.

What each actor optimizes

ActorReadsOptimizes forYour lever
ARR reviewerYour paper, 4-6 othersDefensible scores, low effortContent pages that answer the standard doubts preemptively
Action editorReviews + responseA meta-review that survives scrutinyResponse threads that end in quotable resolutions
NAACL SACDozens of frozen packagesA balanced program under an acceptance budgetThe meta-review's final tone; venue-fit signals
Program chairsSAC recommendationsProgram shape: topics, tracks, theme coverageTopic/theme alignment declared honestly

Main versus Findings, mechanically

Both outcomes publish in the ACL Anthology and both count as archival. The split is a program-capacity decision made at commitment: papers judged sound but not slotted into the main program land in Findings of NAACL. Editions differ on what presentation Findings papers receive. Strategic implication: soundness objections are deadly (they block both tiers), while excitement objections often decide only which tier — triage your response accordingly.

The skipped-year effect on committee behavior

Because the chapter stands down when ACL meets in the Americas (no 2023, no 2026 edition), each NAACL arrives after a gap in which reviewed-but-uncommitted packages accumulate. Expect commitment windows with unusually deep pools and SACs choosing among multiple cycles' worth of papers. Practical reading: a merely adequate package faces more competition at NAACL commitment than the same package would at an annual venue's, and freshness of the reviews (did the field move since?) becomes a real, if unwritten, factor.

One package's path through the machine

A concrete trace, using the NAACL 2025 shape (October 2024 ARR cycle) as the historical example:

  1. Mid-October: anonymous PDF enters the ARR cycle on OpenReview.
  2. Early November: compliance screening; desk rejections notified.
  3. November: three reviews written; author response window opens after release.
  4. Mid-December: meta-review synthesized; the package is now complete and frozen — this exact bundle is what every later reader sees.
  5. Turn of the year: authors commit the package to NAACL 2025 (or hold it, or take it elsewhere; the reviews do not expire with the cycle).
  6. January: SACs rank committed packages; program chairs set the Main/Findings/reject lines under capacity constraints.
  7. Early February: final versions due for both acceptance tiers.
  8. Late April: Albuquerque.

The dates move every edition; the topology — review once, decide elsewhere, publish per tier — has been stable since NAACL adopted ARR exclusively.

Reading a review packet for stage 2

text
For each review:
  score_axis   -> soundness-type or excitement-type objection?
  fixability   -> answerable from existing evidence / in-window run / no
  sac_optics   -> how does this line read to a skimming SAC?
Then: response effort = (sac_optics severity) x (fixability),
      not (how annoyed the review made you).

Stage-by-stage leverage summary

  1. Before upload: venue-preference and language/topic fields shape which reviewer pool and eventual SAC lane you enter.
  2. Response window: the only writable moment; optimize the record.
  3. Commitment: choose venue and timing — the one strategic decision that is entirely yours.
  4. After decision: Main/Findings handling and, if rejected, a revise-and -resubmit into a later cycle with a truthful change summary.
