What it does
Podc Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning an ACM PODC campaign end to end — running the single annual cycle backward from the February deadline through abstract registration, lightweight double-blind review, the late-April notification, the May camera-ready, and the arXiv full version — and coordinating the regular-paper-vs-Brief-Announcement decision along the way.
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.
It sits in Research & Science, covering Academic paper search. It works with arXiv. 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.

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
Podc Workflow loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 536 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 planning an ACM PODC campaign end to end — running the single annual cycle backward from the February deadline through abstract registration, lightweight double-blind review, the late-April notification, the May camera-ready, and the arXiv full version — and coordinating the regular-paper-vs-Brief-Announcement decision along the way.
PODC Workflow
Plan the year backward from the deadline. PODC runs a single annual cycle with a
straightforward accept/reject decision and no journal-style revision round, so unlike a
multi-cycle or major-revision venue, you get one shot per year — the leverage is all in what you
submit, not in a second read. Dates below are the PODC 2026 cycle (read 2026-07-09 via renderings;
see resources/official-source-map.md); reopen the live Important Dates page each year.
The PODC 2026 calendar (one cycle)
| Milestone | Date (23:59 AoE) | What it gates |
|---|---|---|
| Abstract registration | 11 February 2026 | Title/abstract/authors/conflicts locked; no PDF accepted later without it |
| Full-paper submission | 16 February 2026 | The anonymized PDF (regular or Brief Announcement) |
| Notification | 29 April 2026 | Accept / reject |
| Camera-ready | 20 May 2026 | Final ACM proceedings PDF + rights forms |
| Conference | 6-10 July 2026 | In-person presentation at Royal Holloway, University of London |
Running the year backward
[Jul 2026] present in person at Royal Holloway (co-located with SPAA); a paid registration
by one author is required
[May 20] camera-ready: de-anonymize, compress to <=10 proceedings pages, ACM rights
[Apr 29 -> May] notification -> if accepted, camera-ready + post the full version to arXiv
[Feb 16] full-paper submission (regular or Brief Announcement), double-blind
[Feb 11] abstract registration (hard prerequisite)
[Dec-Jan] finish proofs; run podc-writing-style + podc-experiments; decide the track
[Sep-Nov] prove the result; fix the model; run podc-topic-selection to confirm PODC vs DISC/SPAAThe scarce resource is proof-closing time before mid-February. A result that is "almost proved" in January is a Brief Announcement in February, not a regular paper — plan the proof timeline, not just the writing timeline.
Where the leverage is (and is not)
- Largest lever — the topic/abstract at registration. A precise abstract and the right topic tags route your paper to reviewers who work in your model. A mismatched abstract sends a shared-memory paper to message-passing reviewers.
- Second lever — the regular-vs-Brief-Announcement choice. If the proof will not close by 16 February, a Brief Announcement timestamps the result now and keeps a full paper open for a later venue; forcing an unfinished result into a regular paper spends the slot on a rejection.
- No revision lever. PODC gives accept/reject; there is no Major Revision to rescue a borderline paper. Everything that would have gone into a revision must be in the initial submission.
- Possible rebuttal lever (待核实). Whether the cycle runs an author-response phase varies —
confirm on the call; if it exists, see
podc-author-response.

Coordinating the co-located venues
PODC 2026 is co-located with SPAA 2026 at the same venue and dates. If your result straddles
distributed and parallel computing, decide the target before the February deadline (SPAA and PODC
have separate submission processes and committees) using podc-topic-selection — do not assume one
submission reaches both.
The full-version / arXiv track (parallel to the whole cycle)
- You may post the full version (with all proofs) on arXiv at any time — before, during, or after review. PODC does not treat a preprint as dual submission.
- During double-blind review, an arXiv link that de-anonymizes you is a risk; either post without pointing the submission at it, or rely on the community norm and keep the submission PDF self-contained. Confirm the cycle's exact expectation.
- After acceptance, the arXiv full version is where the proofs the 10 proceedings pages cannot hold actually live; keep it in sync with the camera-ready.
Common calendar mistakes
- Missing abstract registration (11 Feb) and discovering on 16 Feb that no PDF slot exists.
- Treating notification as the finish line — camera-ready (20 May) has its own ACM rights and compression work; block time for it.
- Assuming a revision round exists — it does not; budget the proof to be done at submission.
- Projecting last year's dates — the split abstract/paper deadlines and the double-blind wording are decided per edition.
