What it does

Pldi Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when auditing a PLDI submission for HotCRP readiness — the single annual November deadline, the 20-pages-of-text-excluding-bibliography cap in single-column acmsmall format, double-blind hygiene across tool names and repositories, dual-submission rules, and summary-rejection triggers before the cutoff.

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.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Citation management. 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

  • Auditing a PLDI submission for HotCRP readiness — the single annual November deadline
  • The 20-pages-of-text-excluding-bibliography cap in single-column acmsmall format
  • Double-blind hygiene across tool names and repositories
  • Dual-submission rules

Example prompts

  • “/pldi-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Freeze the claim list; every abstract sentence must have a section that proves it.
  2. Rebuild the PDF from a clean tree with the unmodified acmsmall class and
  3. Run the leak scan above on the PDF and every supplementary archive.
  4. Verify HotCRP conflicts and topics; a stale conflict list misroutes reviewers.
  5. Check the CFP's dual-submission and republication wording against anything you
  6. Submit a day early. HotCRP deadlines are hard cutoffs.

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

Pldi Submission loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 506 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~81
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.

Use when auditing a PLDI submission for HotCRP readiness — the single annual November deadline, the 20-pages-of-text-excluding-bibliography cap in single-column acmsmall format, double-blind hygiene across tool names and repositories, dual-submission rules, and summary-rejection triggers before the cutoff.

PLDI Submission

Run this audit before the upload, not after. The numbers below were read from the PLDI 2026 Call for Papers and track pages on 2026-07-08 (via search renderings of the official URLs — see resources/official-source-map.md); they describe one cycle and must be rechecked against the live CFP for the cycle you are entering. The PLDI 2027 call was not yet posted at that date.

The 2026-cycle mechanics

  • One deadline a year. PLDI 2026 papers were due Thursday, November 13, 2025. There is no second round; a missed November costs twelve months.
  • HotCRP, not OpenReview. Submission ran at pldi2026.hotcrp.com — profile, conflicts, and topic areas live there, and each edition gets a fresh instance.
  • Page budget: at most 20 pages of text, excluding bibliography, in the single-column ACM acmsmall layout (10 pt font, 12 pt line spacing, text block 5.478 in x 7.884 in), the format PACMPL publishes in. Build with sample-acmsmall-conf.tex from the acmart package.
  • Summary rejection is the stated penalty for a different format — smaller fonts, a larger text block, squeezed spacing. The chairs do not negotiate margins.
  • Double-blind, and PLDI has used it for years: reviewers must not learn who you are from the PDF or anything it links to.

Where PL papers leak identity

Compiler and tool papers leak differently from ML papers. The usual culprits: a tool name already public on GitHub under your lab, benchmark harness URLs, \author metadata inside the PDF, grant numbers in acknowledgements, and commit histories inside supplementary archives.

bash
pdfinfo paper.pdf | grep -Ei 'author|creator'
pdftotext paper.pdf - | grep -niE 'github\.com/[^ ]+|gitlab|acknowledg|grant no' | head
unzip -l supplement.zip | grep -Ei '\.git/|/home/|/Users/' | head

Cite your own prior work in the third person, and if the tool is already public, discuss with your co-authors whether to rename it in the submission or accept the risk explicitly — do not discover the collision during reviewing.

Final week, in order

  1. Freeze the claim list; every abstract sentence must have a section that proves it.
  2. Rebuild the PDF from a clean tree with the unmodified acmsmall class and recount text pages against the current cap.
  3. Run the leak scan above on the PDF and every supplementary archive.
  4. Verify HotCRP conflicts and topics; a stale conflict list misroutes reviewers.
  5. Check the CFP's dual-submission and republication wording against anything you have on arXiv or under review elsewhere.
  6. Submit a day early. HotCRP deadlines are hard cutoffs.

What this cycle did not settle (待核实)

Whether an abstract-registration step precedes the paper deadline, exact supplementary-material rules, and any AI-assistance disclosure requirement were not confirmed in accessible renderings of the 2026 pages — read the live CFP rather than assuming either way.
