What it does

Popl Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when preparing a POPL submission for the single July HotCRP deadline — auditing the 25-pages-of-text acmsmall cap, summary-rejection format rules, full double-blind hygiene for theory papers with public proof repositories, dual-submission exposure, and the final-days upload order before the AoE cutoff.

Its SKILL.md is about 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. 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

  • Preparing a POPL submission for the single July HotCRP deadline — auditing the 25-pages-of-text acmsmall cap
  • Summary-rejection format rules
  • Full double-blind hygiene for theory papers with public proof repositories
  • Dual-submission exposure

Example prompts

  • “/popl-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Freeze definitions and theorem numbering; late renumbering desyncs body, appendix,
  2. Rebuild the PDF from a clean clone so no stale lemma statement survives.
  3. Run the leak scan above on the paper and every supplementary archive.
  4. Fill HotCRP metadata — title, abstract, topics, conflicts — a day early; the form
  5. Upload well before 11:59 PM AoE and re-download your own submission to verify the

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

Popl Submission loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 81 tokens; SKILL.md has 448 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
~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 preparing a POPL submission for the single July HotCRP deadline — auditing the 25-pages-of-text acmsmall cap, summary-rejection format rules, full double-blind hygiene for theory papers with public proof repositories, dual-submission exposure, and the final-days upload order before the AoE cutoff.

POPL Submission

Audit against the cycle you are actually entering. The mechanics below come from the POPL 2027 research-papers call, read 2026-07-08 through search renderings of popl27.sigplan.org (direct fetches were blocked — see resources/official-source-map.md). POPL 2027's cutoff was July 9, 2026, 11:59 PM AoE, one day after that check: confirm the live dates page before assuming any window is open.

The 2027-cycle mechanics

  • One July deadline, no abstract deadline. POPL 2027 papers were due July 9, 2026 AoE, uploaded to popl27.hotcrp.com. Nothing pre-registers the submission, so a paper can materialize on deadline day — and so can your forgotten conflicts list. A missed July means the next POPL is a year out (though PACMPL siblings offer intermediate deadlines; see popl-workflow).
  • 25 pages of text, bibliography excluded, in the PACMPL layout: acmart with the acmsmall option, single column, 10 pt font on 12 pt line spacing, a 5.478 in by 7.884 in text block. The call names summary rejection as the consequence of a shrunken font or widened block, and PACMPL takes no Word files.
  • Full double-blind. Since POPL 2023 this replaced the older lightweight regime: reviewers never see author names, and identities are revealed only after conditional-acceptance decisions, only for the papers that made it.

Where theory papers deanonymize themselves

A semantics or verification paper leaks identity through different channels than an ML paper: a Rocq/Coq development already public under your group's namespace, a paper-named logic that only one lab builds on, "in our previous work [7]" phrasing, and appendix PDFs generated with author metadata intact.

bash
pdfinfo main.pdf | grep -iE 'author|producer'
pdftotext main.pdf - | grep -niE 'our (previous|earlier) (work|paper)|github|gitlab|zenodo|orcid' | head
tar tzf supplement.tar.gz | grep -E '\.git/|home/[a-z]+/|_CoqProject.*~' | head

Cite your own prior papers in the third person, scrub \author blocks and grant lines, and route any proof development through an anonymized mirror rather than the lab repository.

Last-72-hours order of operations

  1. Freeze definitions and theorem numbering; late renumbering desyncs body, appendix, and proof scripts.
  2. Rebuild the PDF from a clean clone so no stale lemma statement survives.
  3. Run the leak scan above on the paper and every supplementary archive.
  4. Fill HotCRP metadata — title, abstract, topics, conflicts — a day early; the form is fast, but conflict lists take thought.
  5. Upload well before 11:59 PM AoE and re-download your own submission to verify the PDF the committee will see.
