What it does

Oopsla Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when explaining or strategizing around OOPSLA's two-round review machinery — double-anonymous multi-stage reviewing, the four outcomes (Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, Reject), reviewer continuity across rounds, round-hopping a Major Revision, and how acceptance flows into a PACMPL issue and the SPLASH talk.

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.

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

  • Strategizing around OOPSLAs two-round review machinery — double-anonymous multi-stage reviewing
  • The four outcomes (Accept
  • Reviewer continuity across rounds
  • Round-hopping a Major Revision

Example prompts

  • “/oopsla-review-process”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Triage — format, anonymity, scope; the firm-deadline and 23-page rules
  2. Multi-stage reviewing — the OOPSLA1 2026 front matter describes
  3. Author response — the four-day window where bucket arguments happen
  4. Committee resolution — outcomes assigned; expectation lists drafted
  5. After acceptance — camera-ready into the PACMPL issue

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

Oopsla Review Process loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 495 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 explaining or strategizing around OOPSLA's two-round review machinery — double-anonymous multi-stage reviewing, the four outcomes (Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, Reject), reviewer continuity across rounds, round-hopping a Major Revision, and how acceptance flows into a PACMPL issue and the SPLASH talk.

OOPSLA Review Process

OOPSLA reviews like a journal wearing a conference's clock. Two submission rounds per volume (2026: October 10, 2025 and March 17, 2026), a Review Committee whose chairs act as PACMPL Associate Editors (2026: Anders Møller and Işıl Dillig), multi-stage double-anonymous reviewing, an author-response window per round, and a four-way decision instead of a binary one. Round 1 of 2026 accepted 75 of 227 submissions into PACMPL Vol. 10, Issue OOPSLA1 — roughly a third, but treat any single round's rate as one data point, not a planning constant.

The four outcomes and what each really means

OutcomeMechanicsAuthor's correct read
AcceptInto the round's PACMPL issue after camera-readyDeliver commitments; start the artifact
Minor RevisionFixable concerns resolved within the same round's process (2026 folded the old Conditional Accept in here)A near-accept with homework and a checker
Major RevisionInvitation to resubmit to the next round against an explicit expectations list, with reviewer continuity to the extent possibleThe venue wants the paper — at its price
RejectOut of this volume's pipelineDiagnose before re-entering the SIGPLAN family

The revision categories change meaningfully between volumes (the 2025→2026 merge is the proof), so restate the current definitions from the live track page before advising anyone.

Round-hopping: the mechanic to teach explicitly

A Major Revision is not a rejection with kind words — it is a reserved slot with named examiners. The hop works like this:

text
R1 submission (Oct) --Major Revision--> resubmit in R2 (Mar), same volume
R2 submission (Mar) --Major Revision--> resubmit in next volume's R1 (~Oct)
Either round --Accept/Minor Revision--> that round's issue (OOPSLA1 / OOPSLA2)

Consequences worth spelling out:

  • An R1 Major Revision handled well still publishes in the same year's volume (OOPSLA2) — often faster than a fresh submission elsewhere.
  • An R2 Major Revision crosses volumes, so the calendar cost is ~7 months; factor that into round choice at submission time (oopsla-workflow).
  • Reviewer continuity cuts both ways: unresolved expectations are checked by the people who wrote them. Answer the list item by item in a change log; do not silently re-litigate demands you dislike — argue them explicitly or satisfy them.

Inside a round

  1. Triage — format, anonymity, scope; the firm-deadline and 23-page rules bite here (oopsla-submission).
  2. Multi-stage reviewing — the OOPSLA1 2026 front matter describes multiple stages of double-anonymous review; expect additional reviews or expert consultations on borderline papers between stages.
  3. Author response — the four-day window where bucket arguments happen (oopsla-author-response).
  4. Committee resolution — outcomes assigned; expectation lists drafted for revision buckets.
  5. After acceptance — camera-ready into the PACMPL issue (oopsla-camera-ready), artifact evaluation with badges (oopsla-artifact-evaluation), talk at SPLASH.

Reading a review packet like a strategist

  • Count, per review, the demands that are bounded (rerun, clarify, add baseline) versus unbounded (rethink the design, new study population). Mostly-bounded packets are Minor-Revision-shaped; argue accordingly.
  • A single devastated reviewer among positive ones is a discussion problem, not a paper problem — your response should arm the positive reviewers with the citations and pointers they need to carry the argument.
  • Fit complaints at OOPSLA are weaker than at narrower venues (the published scope spans formalisms to empirical studies); rebut them with precedent shapes, not indignation.

Output format

text
[Stage] triage / in review / response window / decision / revision pending
[Packet read] bounded vs unbounded demands per review
[Likely outcome] one of four + confidence
[Round plan] same-round path or hop target with dates from live pages
[Action] the single highest-leverage next move
