What it does

Recsys Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when explaining or planning around ACM RecSys peer review — the mutually-anonymous model with at least three PC members and a Senior PC overseer, the rebuttal phase, how the reproducibility-crisis culture shapes reviewer priorities, the offline-versus-online evaluation lens, and how acceptance leads to ACM Digital Library publication.

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, covering Reproducible research and Peer review. 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

  • Planning around ACM RecSys peer review — the mutually-anonymous model with at least three PC members and a Senior PC overseer
  • The rebuttal phase
  • How the reproducibility-crisis culture shapes reviewer priorities
  • The offline-versus-online evaluation lens

Example prompts

  • “/recsys-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

Recsys Review Process loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 437 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
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.

description
Use when explaining or planning around ACM RecSys peer review — the mutually-anonymous model with at least three PC members and a Senior PC overseer, the rebuttal phase, how the reproducibility-crisis culture shapes reviewer priorities, the offline-versus-online evaluation lens, and how acceptance leads to ACM Digital Library publication.

RecSys Review Process

Use this to reason about review-stage strategy. Reopen the current Call for Contributions, the committees page, and any reviewer guidelines before making process claims — mechanics are cycle-specific.

Process model

  • RecSys review is mutually anonymous (double-blind). Each submission is read by at least three PC members and overseen by a Senior PC member who synthesizes the recommendation.
  • There is an author rebuttal phase (2026: June 4-9) for a short clarifying narrative.
  • Reviewers weigh recommendation novelty, evaluation validity, reproducibility, clarity, and relevance to the recommender community — not raw metric wins alone.
  • The most useful reply is a decision-focused clarification that gives the Senior PC a clean rationale for acceptance or rejection.
  • Accepted papers are published in the ACM Digital Library, so camera-ready compliance and metadata matter as much as the initial decision.

Who reviews here, and what they distrust

  • The pool is a single-domain recommender community: expect at least one reviewer who has internalized the field's reproducibility debate and will probe baseline tuning line by line.
  • Because RecSys is topically tight, matches are close and an under-tuned comparison or a leaky split gets caught rather than skimmed past.
  • Borderline offline-evaluation papers usually fall on one of three edges: baselines tuned less hard than the proposed method, a random split where a temporal one was needed, or an offline metric asserted to imply a deployment win with no bridge.

Scoring leverage table

Review dimensionWhat raises itWhat sinks it
Recommendation noveltyA named user/item modeling or evaluation ideaAn architecture swap with no recommendation-specific insight
Evaluation validityEqual-budget baselines, temporal split, full-ranking metrics, varianceUntuned baselines, random split, sampled metrics reported as full
Deployment relevanceOff-policy estimate, simulator, or A/B result"Offline nDCG rose, therefore users benefit"
ReproducibilityA runnable anonymous repository regenerating the tablesA promise to release code "upon acceptance" only
ClarityOne notation source, honest limitationsBuried assumptions; a random-split protocol left implicit

Stage-by-stage realism

  • Initial reviews: triage by what the Senior PC would weigh, not by reviewer tone.
  • Rebuttal: the window is short; an early, precise narrative on the central evaluation objection beats a late line-by-line reply (see recsys-author-response).
  • Decision: the Senior PC synthesizes; one unresolved evaluation-validity objection outweighs several resolved clarity complaints.
  • Post-decision: ACM Digital Library publication means the rights form and metadata become the final gate.

Vignette: reading a split decision

Two reviewers like the method; one flags that baselines were tuned only on defaults. At RecSys that single objection is decisive because it maps onto the community's reproducibility anxiety — so the rebuttal must resolve that thread, with the equal-budget grid, before polishing anything the other reviewers raised.
