What it does

Ndss Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when performing the final pre-upload audit of an NDSS submission — HotCRP fields, the AoE deadline, NDSS template and 13-page compliance, double-blind sweep, ethics readiness, the six-per-author cap, overlap rules, and desk-reject triage in the last week.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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

  • Performing the final pre-upload audit of an NDSS submission — HotCRP fields
  • The AoE deadline
  • NDSS template and 13-page compliance
  • Double-blind sweep

Example prompts

  • “/ndss-submission”

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

Ndss Submission loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 69 tokens; SKILL.md has 550 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~69
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 performing the final pre-upload audit of an NDSS submission — HotCRP fields, the AoE deadline, NDSS template and 13-page compliance, double-blind sweep, ethics readiness, the six-per-author cap, overlap rules, and desk-reject triage in the last week.

NDSS Submission

This is the deadline-week skill: the paper exists, the cycle is chosen, and the job is to get it into HotCRP without handing the PC a reason to discard it unread. NDSS 2027's summer cycle ran through ndss27-summer.hotcrp.com; confirm the fall cycle's own site rather than assuming the URL pattern (待核实 in this pack's source map).

The clock

Deadlines are 11:59 PM Anywhere-on-Earth (UTC-12) — the most forgiving timezone, which is exactly why missing it is unforgivable. Fall 2027 cycle: papers due August 19, 2026. Upload a complete candidate PDF a day early; HotCRP allows revision until the deadline, and a placeholder in the system beats a perfect PDF stuck in a build error at 11:58.

Hard-gate audit (any failure = fix before upload)

  • Template: current NDSS template, unmodified — no geometry, spacing, or font surgery.
  • Length: ≤13 pages of body; Ethics Considerations, references, and appendices sit outside the count and behind the body/ethics/references order the CFP prescribes.
  • Language: English; PDF compiles on someone else's machine, fonts embedded.
  • Anonymity (double-blind, per the 2027 CFP):
    • no author names/affiliations anywhere, including headers and the PDF's metadata (pdfinfo; check Author, Creator, and attached-file fields);
    • self-citations in third person; no "our earlier system [12]";
    • acknowledgments, grant numbers, and lab codenames removed;
    • artifact links point at anonymized hosting, not institutional GitLab;
    • figures and screenshots checked for usernames, hostnames, watermarks.
  • Ethics readiness: if the work touches live systems, users, or vulnerabilities — the Ethics Considerations section exists, the disclosure state is described truthfully, and the paper can face the Ethics Review Board as-is. IRB paperwork alone is not the answer the venue accepts.
  • Cap and overlap: every coauthor is on ≤6 submissions this cycle (12/year), and this paper does not majorly overlap a paper rejected in this symposium's earlier cycle, nor sit simultaneously under review elsewhere.

Desk-reject triage

Finding in final weekSeverityMove
Body runs to page 14Fatal at deadlineCut via the dependency test (ndss-supplementary), never via template hacks
Metadata shows an author nameFatal if unseenRebuild PDF with scrubbed fields; re-check attachments
De-anonymizing repo linkFatal if unseenRe-host anonymously; re-grep the whole PDF for URLs
Undisclosed overlap with rejected summer paperFatalWithdraw or rewrite scope honestly — reviewers overlap between cycles and remember
Ethics section missing for scanning studySevereWrite it now from the method text; do not submit without it
HotCRP topics/conflicts incompleteRecoverableComplete before deadline; conflicts protect you

HotCRP field discipline

Abstract, title, topics, and conflicts steer reviewer assignment — treat them as targeting, not paperwork. The abstract in the form must match the PDF verbatim (mismatches surface at Round 1 and read as sloppiness). Declare conflicts by the CFP's definition, completely: a missed conflict discovered later taints the review; an invented one to dodge a feared reviewer is misconduct. List every coauthor with correct emails at submission — quiet author-list edits after the deadline are a chairs-permission matter at security venues, not an author right.

Final 48 hours, in order

text
T-48h  freeze content; branch the repo (submission tag)
T-36h  format pass: template diff, page count, reference/appendix order
T-30h  anonymity pass: metadata, links, figures, self-citations, acks
T-24h  ethics pass: section present, disclosure statements current TODAY
       (a vendor reply yesterday can invalidate a sentence written last week)
T-20h  upload candidate PDF to HotCRP; fill all fields; save
T-12h  cold read of the compiled-from-HotCRP download (not your local file)
T-2h   final re-upload if needed; screenshot the confirmation

After the button

Nothing more is owed until the early-reject notification (fall: September 25, 2026). Use the gap to pre-draft rebuttal scaffolding (ndss-author-response) and to keep the disclosure process moving — the interactive discussion phase will ask what happened since submission, and "the vendor patched in October" is a good answer only if you kept the process alive.
