What it does

Osdi Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when running the final pre-upload audit of an OSDI submission on HotCRP — the December registration and full-paper deadlines at 2:59 pm PST, the 12-page/no-appendix check, institution-level double-blind rules, the renamed-system requirement, track choice, and the eight-submission author cap.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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

  • Running the final pre-upload audit of an OSDI submission on HotCRP — the December registration and full-paper deadlines at 2:59 pm PST
  • The 12-page/no-appendix check
  • Institution-level double-blind rules
  • The renamed-system requirement

Example prompts

  • “/osdi-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Institutions are anonymized too. Not only names — the paper must not identify
  2. The renamed-system rule. Prior non-peer-reviewed exposure (arXiv, tech reports,

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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • pdftotext

    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

Osdi Submission loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 760 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 running the final pre-upload audit of an OSDI submission on HotCRP — the December registration and full-paper deadlines at 2:59 pm PST, the 12-page/no-appendix check, institution-level double-blind rules, the renamed-system requirement, track choice, and the eight-submission author cap.

OSDI Submission

Run this audit before touching the HotCRP upload form. Every rule below is the OSDI '26 cycle as read on 2026-07-08 (osdi26.usenix.hotcrp.com plus the CFP); treat the numbers as one year's snapshot and reopen the current CFP before acting.

The two December gates, in Pacific time

OSDI '26 split the deadline in two, and both were 2:59 pm PST — USENIX's local afternoon convention, not AoE midnight:

  • Registration (Dec 4, 2025): title, abstract, authors, and track (Research or Operational Systems) created in HotCRP. Unregistered papers cannot be submitted a week later, full stop.
  • Full submission (Dec 11, 2025): the final anonymized PDF uploaded and marked complete. HotCRP "complete" status is the state that counts — a draft sitting in the form is not a submission.

Convert 2:59 pm PST to every coauthor's time zone in writing. It is 10:59 pm in London, 6:59 am the next day in Beijing — the single most common OSDI logistics error is an AoE reflex from ML venues.

Format gate (rejection-grade)

CheckOSDI '26 rule
Body length≤ 12 pages, single-spaced, including figures and tables
ReferencesUnlimited extra pages
AppendicesForbidden in the submission — no supplementary material
Type/layout10-pt Times-like on 12-pt leading, two columns, 7"×9" text block
Length norm"The right length" — reviewers told to down-rank padded papers
Per-author loadAt most eight submissions per author across the PC's pile

The 12-page count including figures is stricter than it sounds: a figure-heavy systems paper loses two pages to its own graphs. Compress via osdi-writing-style's passes, never via geometry or font tampering.

Anonymity gate: OSDI's two distinctive rules

Beyond standard double-blind hygiene, OSDI '26 imposed two requirements authors from other venues miss:

  1. Institutions are anonymized too. Not only names — the paper must not identify the authors' institutions explicitly or by implication. "Our datacenter fleet" plus a trace only one company could own is an implication; describe the deployment in neutral scale terms.
  2. The renamed-system rule. Prior non-peer-reviewed exposure (arXiv, tech reports, talks, social posts) is permitted only if the submission uses a different, anonymized project/system name than any of those venues. Rename before the deadline, then sweep for the old name everywhere — body, figures, config listings, embedded paths.
bash
# Mechanical sweep on the exact PDF you will upload
pdftotext paper.pdf - | grep -nEi 'OLDNAME|github\.com|gitlab|acknowledg|grant' | head
pdfinfo paper.pdf | grep -Ei 'author|creator|producer'      # metadata identity
pdffonts paper.pdf | head                                    # embedded, expected fonts
# figures often embed usernames in paths: check figure sources too
grep -rnEi 'home/|Users/|OLDNAME' figures/ *.tex | head

Self-citations stay, in third person, treated as someone else's work (osdi-related-work has the full protocol). Program co-chair conflicts are handled by recusal on the PC side — your job is accurate conflict declaration in HotCRP, not creative omission.

Policy gate

  • Dual submission: not under review elsewhere; concurrent arXiv is fine (renamed), concurrent conference review is not.
  • Track sanity: an experience paper registered as Research (or vice versa) is reviewed against the wrong bar — re-check the registration before the Dec 4 gate closes (osdi-topic-selection).
  • Ethics: if measurements involved production users, disclosed vulnerabilities, or third-party infrastructure, address the ethics posture in the paper; check the current CFP's exact ethics wording (marked 待核实 in the source map) rather than assuming any specific code applies.

HotCRP field hygiene

The form is read before the PDF and drives assignment; draft it before deadline day:

  • Title and abstract must match the PDF verbatim — reviewers bid on the form, and drift between form and paper reads as carelessness.
  • Topics/keywords route the paper to reviewers: pick for the reviewer you want (storage vs ML-systems vs distributed) rather than checking everything plausible.
  • Author list complete at registration, even though anonymized in the PDF — HotCRP uses it for conflict computation, and a coauthor added after review assignment is a chairs-level problem.
  • Conflicts: declared per HotCRP's definitions (advisors, recent coauthors, same institution), accurately and no wider — conflict inflation to dodge feared reviewers is detectable and sanctionable.
  • The eight-per-author cap counts submissions on the form, so groups running multiple December papers should reconcile author lists before registration week.

Why this audit is terminal at OSDI

OSDI '26 had no author-response period. There is no later moment to explain that the missing baseline exists, that the leak was an oversight, or that page 13 was an accident. The submission as uploaded is the entire conversation until notification — which is also why the last step is non-negotiable: re-download the PDF from HotCRP and read it cold, checking that what reviewers will open is what you think you sent.

Final sequence

  1. T-7 days: register title/abstract/track (Dec 4 gate).
  2. T-3 days: freeze content; run the format gate table top to bottom.
  3. T-2 days: anonymity sweep (mechanical checks above + a human pass over figures).
  4. T-1 day: coauthor sign-off on the exact PDF; HotCRP fields match the PDF verbatim.
  5. T-0: upload, mark complete, re-download, cold-read, archive the receipt.
