What it does

Rss Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when explaining or strategizing around RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems) peer review — the double-blind OpenReview pipeline, the two-stage design where only above-threshold papers earn a one-page rebuttal, the Area Chair meeting that sets decisions, and what single-track selectivity does to reviewer expectations.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 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

  • Strategizing around RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems) peer review — the double-blind OpenReview pipeline
  • The two-stage design where only above-threshold papers earn a one-page rebuttal
  • The Area Chair meeting that sets decisions
  • What single-track selectivity does to reviewer expectations

Example prompts

  • “/rss-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

Rss Review Process loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 621 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 strategizing around RSS (Robotics: Science and Systems) peer review — the double-blind OpenReview pipeline, the two-stage design where only above-threshold papers earn a one-page rebuttal, the Area Chair meeting that sets decisions, and what single-track selectivity does to reviewer expectations.

RSS Review Process

Model how an RSS decision actually gets made. The mechanics below are the verified 2026 design (roboticsconference.org/2026/reviewps/, checked 2026-07-08); the two-stage structure itself is cycle policy, so confirm it survives before relying on it.

The 2026 pipeline

text
OpenReview submission (double-blind)
        │
   first review round
        │
   threshold gate ── below ──▶ reject (no rebuttal opportunity)
        │ above
   invited one-page rebuttal (due 2026-04-03 AoE)
        │
   Area Chair reads rebuttal
        │  (forwards to reviewers only if extra feedback is needed)
   Area Chair meeting ──▶ decisions (2026-04-27 AoE)

Two properties distinguish this from ML-conference discussion phases:

  • The rebuttal is earned, not granted. Papers below the first-round threshold are decided without author input. Consequence: the submission itself must pre-answer foreseeable objections; there may be no second chance (rss-writing-style).
  • The audience of the rebuttal is the AC. Reviewers may never see it. Write for the person running the meeting, not for a back-and-forth thread (rss-author-response).

What single-track selectivity does to reviewing

Every accepted paper takes a slot in front of the whole conference, so the operative question in the AC meeting is closer to "must the field hear this?" than "is this sound?" Soundness is necessary, not sufficient. Practical consequences:

Review dynamicCauseAuthor counter-move
High bar for "so what"One program, finite slotsLead with the claim's consequence for other subfields
Deep methodological readsSpecialized, smaller reviewer poolState assumptions and protocol precisely; vagueness gets caught
Skepticism toward demo-style evidenceScience-first venue identityAttribute failures, isolate mechanisms, report all trials
Low tolerance for padding8-page ceiling framed as ceilingCut aggressively; length is not a proxy for rigor here

Reading a borderline packet

  • Separate correctness objections (a flaw in the claim or protocol) from scope objections (the claim is narrower than sold) from significance doubts (sound but not slot-worthy). Only the first two are rebuttal-addressable with existing evidence; the third is won or lost in the submission's framing.
  • A lone enthusiastic review does not carry a paper through an AC meeting; a lone unanswered correctness objection can sink one. Triage accordingly.
  • Decisions emerge from a synchronous meeting, so the AC's summary understanding is the decision artifact. Everything you write should compress well into two sentences an AC might say aloud.

Timeline anatomy (2026 verified dates)

Date (AoE)EventAuthor-side implication
Jan 30Papers inLast word for below-threshold papers
Feb-MarFirst round (release date 待核实)Do not plan around an assumed date
Apr 3Invited rebuttals dueShort notice — pre-draft objection answers
Apr 3-27AC digestion + meetingNo author-visible activity; silence is normal
Apr 27Decisions~11 weeks before the July conference

The compressed April-to-July runway is a distinctive RSS pressure: camera-ready, travel authorization, and artifact release all share eleven weeks.

Calibrating expectations by venue contrast

  • Unlike venues with universal author-response phases, RSS's threshold gate means a silent April is itself information — but never certain information, since invitation lists are confidential.
  • Unlike rolling-review journals, there is no revise-and-resubmit: the meeting outputs accept or reject, and the improvement loop runs through the next venue slot (rss-workflow).
  • Scores, forms, and thresholds are internal; public acceptance statistics were not verified for 2026 (待核实) — do not quote community folklore rates as fact.

Confidentiality and conduct

  • Reviewer identities, scores, and thresholds are confidential; do not attempt identification or out-of-band contact.
  • Notification wording in 2026 covered "paper and demo acceptance" even though the CFP had no demo-paper category — treat demo mechanics as 待核实 rather than inferring a track.

Who sits in the reviewer pool

  • The pool spans planning, control, perception, learning, and mechanism design; topic matching at a smaller venue is tight, so expect at least one reviewer who has personally run experiments like yours — protocol hand-waving gets caught.
  • Because the audience is the whole field, at least one review often comes from an adjacent subfield; jargon-dense writing loses exactly the vote the single-track format makes decisive.
  • Area Chairs are established researchers appointed per edition; the AC's synthesis carries the meeting, which is why every skill in this pack optimizes for the AC-compressible summary.

Output format

text
[Stage] under review / rebuttal invited / no rebuttal / AC meeting pending / decided
[Objection triage] correctness: <...> | scope: <...> | significance: <...>
[AC-compressible summary] <two sentences the AC could say in the meeting>
[Rebuttal leverage] high / low / none (below threshold)
[Next move] <one action>
