What it does

Siggraph Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use to model the SIGGRAPH / SIGGRAPH Asia Technical Papers review pipeline and calibrate expectations, covering the single 6-point score scale, the primary/secondary/tertiary reviewer structure, the 1000-word rebuttal, the Technical Papers Committee meeting, conditional acceptance with second-stage verification, and the dual-track Journal-vs-Conference decision.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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

  • Model the SIGGRAPH / SIGGRAPH Asia Technical Papers review pipeline and calibrate expectations
  • Covering the single 6-point score scale
  • The primary/secondary/tertiary reviewer structure
  • The 1000-word rebuttal

Example prompts

  • “/siggraph-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

Siggraph Review Process loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 545 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 to model the SIGGRAPH / SIGGRAPH Asia Technical Papers review pipeline and calibrate expectations, covering the single 6-point score scale, the primary/secondary/tertiary reviewer structure, the 1000-word rebuttal, the Technical Papers Committee meeting, conditional acceptance with second-stage verification, and the dual-track Journal-vs-Conference decision.

SIGGRAPH Review Process

Understanding the SIGGRAPH pipeline tells you where author leverage exists and where it does not. The process is a hybrid: a conference clock (one deadline, a short rebuttal, a committee meeting that decides in one round) wrapped around a journal outcome (an ACM Transactions on Graphics article, with a conditional-accept revision to reach the journal bar). Facts below trace to the SIGGRAPH 2026 reviewer-instructions/ethics page (resources/official-source-map.md); reconfirm per cycle.

The pipeline

text
Submission form (authors locked) -> full submission (PDF + supplemental video)
   -> assignment to a Technical Papers Committee member (primary) + secondary + external tertiary reviewers
   -> reviews written; authors see the full set
   -> rebuttal window (<=1000 words, text only)
   -> Technical Papers Committee meeting: conditional accept / reject, and track assignment
   -> [if conditional] second-stage review verifies the final version
   -> publication in the SIGGRAPH issue of ACM TOG (or the Conference Proceedings)

One scale for everyone

All submissions — dual-track and Journal-only — are scored on a single scale: Strong Reject, Reject, Borderline Reject, Borderline Accept, Accept, Strong Accept. There is no separate journal vs conference review; the same reviews serve both possible outcomes, and the committee decides the track afterward. Practically, this means you write one paper to the journal bar and let the committee route it — you do not get to argue "but it's only a conference paper."

Who reads your paper

  • A primary (a Technical Papers Committee member) owns the paper, recruits reviewers, and presents it at the committee meeting.
  • A secondary committee member and external tertiary reviewers provide additional expert reviews. Graphics reviewers are domain-deep and will run the supplemental video and scrutinize comparisons and timings.
  • The rebuttal is read by these referees and folded into the committee discussion — the primary carries your paper's case into the room, so answer the objection the primary will have to defend.

Where leverage exists

StageAuthor leverageReality
SubmissionHighThe paper + results video are 95% of the outcome; write and shoot them to the journal bar
RebuttalNarrow but real1000 text-only words can flip a factual error, rarely a judgment
Committee meetingNone directlyThe primary argues on your behalf; you are not in the room
Conditional acceptHighDeliver every required change; the second-stage reviewer can still hold the paper
Track assignmentLowThe committee decides Journal vs Conference; you cannot appeal the track
Show full SKILL.md (227 more words)Show less

Conditional acceptance and the second stage

A SIGGRAPH accept is almost always conditional: the committee lists required changes, and a committee member verifies in a second reviewing process that the final version is acceptable and the changes were made. This is the journal-grade revision folded into a conference calendar — treat the conditions as binding, not advisory (see siggraph-author-response and siggraph-camera-ready).

The dual-track decision

For a dual-track submission the committee chooses Journal (TOG) or Conference publication. Reviewers are less demanding about formal completeness, validation, and experimental evaluation when accepting to the Conference track — that track exists to publish riskier or earlier-stage work. A Conference-track accept is a real acceptance and a real SIGGRAPH presentation; it is published in the Conference Proceedings rather than the TOG issue. Do not read a Conference-track outcome as a rejection of the idea.

Calibrating outcomes

  • SIGGRAPH acceptance has historically run in the ~20-30% range across the whole program with no fixed quota — the number emerges from the committee, not a target. (SIGGRAPH 2025: >970 submissions, 306 accepted; SIGGRAPH 2026: >1,120 submissions — exact 2026 accepts 待核实.)
  • A borderline paper is decided by the video and the comparisons, not by the rebuttal. Invest accordingly before submission.
  • If rejected, the standard path is to revise using the reviews and target the next cycle (SIGGRAPH Asia after SIGGRAPH, or vice versa) — see siggraph-workflow and siggraph-topic-selection.

Output format

text
[Stage] pre-submission / awaiting reviews / rebuttal / post-decision / conditional
[Score read] where the pivotal reviewer sits on the 6-point scale
[Leverage] what this stage can and cannot change
[Rebuttal target] the factual error / specific question to address (if in window)
[If conditional] required changes -> plan -> second-stage risk
[Track expectation] dual-track (journal/conference) or journal-only
