What it does

Popl Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when interpreting where a POPL submission stands — the full double-blind pipeline from the July HotCRP deadline through reviews, the optional author response, October conditional-acceptance decisions, the mandatory revision gate, Distinguished Paper selection, and publication as PACMPL Issue POPL in January.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 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

  • Interpreting where a POPL submission stands — the full double-blind pipeline from the July HotCRP deadline through reviews
  • The optional author response
  • October conditional-acceptance decisions
  • The mandatory revision gate

Example prompts

  • “/popl-review-process”

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

Popl Review Process loads about 900 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 404 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~83
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~900

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.

POPL Review Process

POPL's pipeline is a conference cycle that ends in a journal issue. The shape below is the POPL 2027 process as posted (read 2026-07-08 via search renderings; author response window and revision deadline were not fully rendered — 待核实).

Pipeline

StagePOPL 2027 anchorWhat is actually being decided
SubmissionJuly 9, 2026 AoE, popl27.hotcrp.com, no abstract deadlineFormat compliance (summary rejection is real) and reviewer assignment
Reviewingfull double-blind, as in POPL 2023-2026Correctness plausibility, novelty of the formal idea, significance to PL principles
Author responseoptional, multi-day, conciseWhether standing objections survive your best factual answer
Decisionnotification October 5, 2026Reject vs conditional acceptance — no unconditional accept exists
Revision gatedeadline set by the committee (待核实 for 2027)Whether the revision satisfies the committee's stated conditions; failure risks rejection
PublicationPACMPL Issue POPL (Vol 10 = 2026, published Jan 8, 2026)Journal article, presented at the January symposium (2027: Mexico City, Jan 10-16)

How a POPL committee reads

  • The first question is what is the formal contribution — a semantics, a type system, a logic, a proof technique — and whether it is stated precisely enough to be wrong. Papers that never risk a sharp claim are marked "unclear contribution."
  • Correctness is probed by attempted counterexample. Expect at least one reviewer to push on the strangest corner of your calculus: open terms, empty contexts, non-termination, the interaction of two features you analyzed separately.
  • Significance at POPL means the idea travels: another researcher can apply your logical relation, your translation, your proof method to their language. A theorem locked to one artifact language travels poorly.
  • Full double-blind changes the sociology: nobody is extending credit to a famous group's proof style. Identities unblind only after conditional-acceptance decisions, and only for the papers that crossed.

Reading the decision

Conditional acceptance arrives with explicit conditions — typically clarifications, scoping of overclaims, or presentation surgery. Treat the condition list as a contract: the Review Committee re-checks each item, and the call states the revision must be satisfactory "or risk rejection." Rejection reviews, in turn, sort into fix-and-resubmit (misread contribution, presentation collapse) versus fundamental (the theorem is true but nobody at this venue needs it) — popl-topic-selection handles the second kind.

Distinguished Papers are capped at 10% of acceptances, chosen by the committee for relevance, originality, significance, and clarity (POPL 2026 call wording); at least one 2026 award is publicly attested. It is not something authors apply for.

Output format
