What it does

Pods Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when auditing an ACM PODS research submission for EasyChair readiness, covering the chosen cycle's abstract-then-paper deadlines, the acmsmall[review,anonymous] format and 15-page budget, the at-submission proof appendix, lightweight double-anonymity, the declared conflicts of interest, PACMMOD-track publication, and desk-risk triage before the AoE cutoff.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k 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

  • Auditing an ACM PODS research submission for EasyChair readiness
  • Covering the chosen cycles abstract-then-paper deadlines
  • The acmsmall[review
  • Anonymous] format and 15-page budget

Example prompts

  • “/pods-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Freeze the theorem statements and complete every proof; the appendix is not a place to hide a gap.
  2. Register abstract, authors, and the COI list well before the abstract cutoff.
  3. Assemble the appendix into the single PDF with forward references from the body.
  4. Run the mechanical anonymity checks on the final PDF (body + appendix), not a draft.
  5. Fill every EasyChair field — topics matching your result, coauthors, conflicts — a day early.
  6. Re-download the uploaded PDF and read the hardest proof cold to confirm it is the file you meant.

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

Pods Submission loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 707 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~95
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 auditing an ACM PODS research submission for EasyChair readiness, covering the chosen cycle's abstract-then-paper deadlines, the acmsmall[review,anonymous] format and 15-page budget, the at-submission proof appendix, lightweight double-anonymity, the declared conflicts of interest, PACMMOD-track publication, and desk-risk triage before the AoE cutoff.

PODS Submission

Run this audit before uploading to the PODS EasyChair site. PODS research papers are published in the PACMMOD PODS track and presented at the symposium, and the review is lightweight double-anonymous with a proof appendix that ships with the submission. Every number below was read from the PODS 2026/2027 calls on 2026-07-09 via search renderings of the sigmod.org PODS pages (see resources/official-source-map.md); treat them as a one-cycle snapshot and reopen the live call first.

Pick the cycle, then the two-step deadline

PODS runs multiple cycles per year; choose the cycle whose paper deadline your proofs will actually be complete for. Within a cycle there are two steps, both AoE:

  • Abstract (and COI) registration locks title, abstract, authors, and the declared conflicts of interest about a week early (PODS 2026 Cycle 1: 3 Jun 2025; Cycle 2: 3 Dec 2025). Miss it and the system will not accept the PDF.
  • Full paper submission uploads the anonymized PDF (PODS 2026 Cycle 1: 10 Jun 2025; Cycle 2: 10 Dec 2025). As of 2026-07-09 the live next deadline is PODS 2027 Cycle 2: abstract+COI 10 Oct 2026, paper 17 Oct 2026.

Register with the real title and abstract; the abstract drives reviewer bidding, and a placeholder that diverges from the paper worsens your PC match.

Format and page budget

  • \documentclass[acmsmall,review,anonymous]{acmart}, unmodified, single-column review format — this is the current PODS format, not the older two-column sigconf style and not an IEEE template.
  • Budget (verify per cycle): up to 15 pages excluding references, plus unlimited references, plus a clearly marked appendix of unlimited length incorporated in the same PDF. No online/external appendices — every proof ships with the submission.
  • Margins, font, and spacing are fixed by acmart; recover space by editorial compression and by moving long proofs to the appendix, not by tampering with the template.

Lightweight double-anonymous sweep

PODS review is double-anonymous: omit author names and affiliations, phrase self-citations in the third person, and remove identity-revealing material from the body and the appendix.

bash
# Mechanical pass on the submission PDF (single file: body + refs + appendix)
pdfinfo paper.pdf | grep -Ei 'author|creator|producer'
pdftotext paper.pdf - | grep -nEi 'acknowledg|grant|funded|thanks|university of|@[a-z0-9.]+\.edu' | head
pdftotext paper.pdf - | grep -nEi 'arxiv\.org/abs|github\.com|https?://[a-z0-9.-]*~' | head

The theory-specific leaks: an acknowledgement or funding line, a named system or prototype that identifies the group, a self-citation phrased in the first person ("in our earlier work [12] we..."), and a link to an author's arXiv preprint or homepage. Withhold or anonymize the arXiv full version until acceptance.

Conflicts of interest

  • Declare the full COI list at submission (PODS 2027 Cycle 2 pairs the COI declaration with the abstract deadline of 10 Oct 2026). Include advisors, recent coauthors, and same-institution PC members per the call's definition.
  • An incomplete COI list is a real integrity problem, not a formality; assemble it a day early.

Final-week order of operations

  1. Freeze the theorem statements and complete every proof; the appendix is not a place to hide a gap.
  2. Register abstract, authors, and the COI list well before the abstract cutoff.
  3. Assemble the appendix into the single PDF with forward references from the body.
  4. Run the mechanical anonymity checks on the final PDF (body + appendix), not a draft.
  5. Fill every EasyChair field — topics matching your result, coauthors, conflicts — a day early.
  6. Re-download the uploaded PDF and read the hardest proof cold to confirm it is the file you meant.

Reverify each cycle

  • Which cycle you are targeting and its exact abstract/paper AoE dates.
  • The page budget and the exact acmart variant the current call names.
  • The revision/shepherd mechanics, the resubmission rule, and any AI-disclosure policy — all cycle-volatile; none should be assumed stable.
