What it does

Osdi Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning or managing a full OSDI cycle — the December title-registration and submission deadlines on HotCRP, the silent no-rebuttal review window, March notification, the May artifact deadline, June shepherded final papers, and the July conference — including rejection retargeting to SOSP or NSDI.

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

  • Managing a full OSDI cycle — the December title-registration and submission deadlines on HotCRP
  • The silent no-rebuttal review window
  • March notification
  • The May artifact deadline

Example prompts

  • “/osdi-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

Osdi Workflow loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 754 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~80
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.

Use when planning or managing a full OSDI cycle — the December title-registration and submission deadlines on HotCRP, the silent no-rebuttal review window, March notification, the May artifact deadline, June shepherded final papers, and the July conference — including rejection retargeting to SOSP or NSDI.

OSDI Workflow

Project-manage the OSDI year. All dates below are the verified OSDI '26 pipeline (read 2026-07-08) and are one cycle's snapshot; the '27 CFP was not yet posted at check time (待核实), so anchor the next cycle only after usenix.org/conference/osdi27 publishes its dates.

The 2026 pipeline, with what each date actually demanded

Date (2026 cycle)GateWhat must be true by then
Dec 4, 2025, 2:59 pm PSTTitle/abstract registration (both tracks)Title, abstract, authors, track choice on HotCRP
Dec 11, 2025, 2:59 pm PSTFull submissionFinal anonymized 12-page PDF uploaded
Mar 26, 2026NotificationDecision: accept / conditional accept / reject
May 8, 2026, 8:59 pm PDTArtifact submissionArchive + AE README ready (accepted papers)
Jun 9, 2026Final papersShepherd-approved 14-page PDF in the system
Jul 13–15, 2026Conference (Seattle)Presenter registered and prepared

Three structural notes that surprise newcomers:

  • The deadlines are Pacific clock time, not AoE. 2:59 pm PST is late-night only in Europe; in East Asia it is early morning the next day. Compute your local cutoff explicitly and pin it in the team calendar.
  • Registration is a real deadline a week before the paper. Miss December 4 and December 11 is irrelevant.
  • Nothing happens between December and March that you can influence. OSDI '26 had no author-response period, so the review window is silent by design.

Backward plan from December

Work backward from submission, owning each risk by name:

text
T-16 weeks  evaluation hardware secured; baselines building and running
T-12 weeks  end-to-end workload runs on the full system; first honest numbers
T-8  weeks  design sections drafted; experiment matrix frozen (osdi-experiments)
T-5  weeks  full draft at ~12 pages; internal "hostile PC" read scheduled
T-3  weeks  rewrite from the hostile read; every objection answered in-text,
            because no rebuttal will exist to answer it later
T-1  week   register title/abstract/track on HotCRP (the Dec 4 gate)
T-3 days    anonymization sweep: names, institutions, renamed system, metadata
T-0         submit; verify by re-downloading from HotCRP, not from memory

The hostile-read slot at T-5 is the workflow's load-bearing beam in a no-response cycle: it is the only rebuttal your paper will ever get, so schedule real colleagues against real review criteria, not a proofread.

The silent window (December → March)

Use the review window for work that pays regardless of outcome:

  • Prepare the artifact now — the OSDI '26 Call for Artifacts explicitly encouraged preparing while the paper is under consideration, and the May 8 deadline lands close to the March 26 notification (osdi-artifact-evaluation).
  • Keep the testbed image and traces frozen; a conditional accept can mandate new experiments on short notice (osdi-author-response).
  • Draft the retarget: if rejected, which venue, and what must change beyond formatting.

Notification branches (March 26)

  • Accept — proceed to osdi-camera-ready; June 9 is closer than it looks once the artifact appendix and de-anonymization are in the loop.
  • Conditional accept — the heavyweight branch: the PC's mandated changes must be completed by the final-paper deadline and approved by the shepherd, or the paper is rejected from the program. Treat the shepherd letter as a contract with a June 9 delivery date (osdi-author-response).
  • Reject — run the retarget within two weeks while the reviews are fresh. Both flagships are annual now (OSDI since 2021, SOSP since 2024), so the realistic map is SOSP or NSDI next, EuroSys or the ACM SIGOPS-stewarded ATC as the widening circle. Fix what reviews actually said before re-aiming; systems PCs overlap heavily.

The retargeting calendar

Because OSDI (annual since 2021) and SOSP (annual since 2024) both offer a deadline every year, a systems paper is never more than a few months from its next flagship shot. Sketch of the circuit as of the 2026 cycle — every row 待核实 against the live CFP before committing, since each venue re-sets dates annually:

VenueHistorical deadline zoneCheck
OSDIearly–mid December (Dec 4/11 in the '26 cycle)usenix.org/conference/osdi<yy>
SOSPspring (varies by edition)sosp.org / SIGOPS pages
NSDItwo deadlines per year (spring + fall)usenix.org/conference/nsdi<yy>
EuroSysspring and/or fall (varies)euro-sys.org
FASTautumnusenix.org/conference/fast<yy>
ATC successor (ACM SIGOPS)new cadence — verifySIGOPS announcements

Retargeting rule: one venue hop per revision. Fix what the reviews said, then aim once; papers that ricochet unchanged through the circuit meet the same reviewers.

Failure modes this skill exists to prevent

  • Discovering the PST convention at 11 pm AoE on deadline day.
  • Skipping title registration because "the paper deadline is the deadline."
  • Spending the silent window idle, then hitting May 8 with no artifact and June 9 with unshepherded mandated changes.
  • Resubmitting a rejected paper unchanged to a PC that half-overlaps last year's.

Multi-paper coordination

Groups submitting several papers to one OSDI deadline inherit extra constraints: the eight-submissions-per-author cap binds across the group's author lists, so reconcile who is on what before registration week, not after; shared infrastructure (testbed, trace archive, figure pipeline) should be frozen once for all papers to prevent one team's kernel upgrade from invalidating another's runs; and the December 4 registration gate is the natural checkpoint for a group-level go/no-go on each paper — a weak submission spends reviewer goodwill that a strong one from the same group may need.
