What it does

Sigir Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when auditing a SIGIR full or short paper before the deadline — the 9-page vs 4-page budgets with appendices counted inside, ACM sigconf anonymization, per-track OpenReview groups, the PC-member nomination duty, cross-track double-submission bans, AI-use disclosure, and desk-reject triage for the ACM SIGIR conference.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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

  • Auditing a SIGIR full
  • Short paper before the deadline — the 9-page vs 4-page budgets with appendices counted inside
  • ACM sigconf anonymization
  • Per-track OpenReview groups

Example prompts

  • “/sigir-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Freeze runs: regenerate every table from versioned run files (TREC-format
  2. Re-run the significance script last — copy-pasted p-values from stale runs are a
  3. Compress into the page budget by demoting per-query analyses to the repository,
  4. Anonymity sweep: PDF metadata, acknowledgments, repo URL, system name, log
  5. Upload to the correct track group, complete the AI-disclosure and PC-nomination

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

Sigir Submission loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 786 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
~1.7k

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 auditing a SIGIR full or short paper before the deadline — the 9-page vs 4-page budgets with appendices counted inside, ACM sigconf anonymization, per-track OpenReview groups, the PC-member nomination duty, cross-track double-submission bans, AI-use disclosure, and desk-reject triage for the ACM SIGIR conference.

SIGIR Submission

Run this audit before anything is uploaded to a SIGIR OpenReview group. SIGIR is a multi-track venue where the same manuscript can be legal in one track and desk-rejectable in another, so the audit starts with "which track is this PDF for?" and only then checks format. Reopen the current edition's track page — every number below is a 2026-cycle anchor (verified 2026-07-08, exact deadlines 待核实), not a rule.

The two-format trap

SIGIR's full and short formats are not a long and a short version of the same bar. A 4-page short paper is a complete argument about one focused finding; a 9-page full paper is expected to carry a rounded evidence program (multiple collections, ablations, significance tests, efficiency notes). The most common self-inflicted wound is submitting a compressed full paper as a short paper — reviewers see missing evidence, not admirable focus.

CheckFull papersShort papers
Page budget (2026)≤ 9 pages, references excluded≤ 4 pages, references excluded
AppendicesCount inside the budget (2025 wording: everything except references)Same — no appendix escape hatch
TemplateACM Primary Article Template, LaTeX sigconf / Word InterimSame
ReviewDouble-blind, fully anonymizedDouble-blind, fully anonymized
OpenReview groupMain conference groupSeparate Short Papers Track group
PC dutyOne author nominated as PC member per submissionConfirm on the current track page

The appendix rule is the sharpest edge on this table: unlike NeurIPS-style venues, SIGIR gives you no unlimited appendix after the references. Proofs, prompt listings, extra tables — either they fit in the budget or they move to the cited repository.

Anonymization for IR papers specifically

Generic double-blind advice misses the leaks IR papers actually have:

  • The system name. If your ranker is already public under the same name (arXiv, a leaderboard, a plugin for Anserini/PyTerrier), the name itself de-anonymizes. Rename for review or argue from the current policy page that preprints are allowed.
  • Leaderboard submissions. MS MARCO / TREC-style leaderboards show team names and dates. Do not cite your own leaderboard row in a way that only the submitting team could.
  • Proprietary query logs. "Queries sampled from our commercial search engine's logs in country X" can identify the company. Genericize the description, keep the statistics.
  • Self-citations in third person; repository links anonymized (e.g., an anonymous.4open.science mirror); PDF metadata stripped.

Policy gates (2026, source: submission-policies page)

  • Parallel submission = desk reject, regardless of how the other venue decides.
  • Cross-track double submission inside SIGIR is banned — e.g., the dataset you submit as a Resource paper cannot also be the novel contribution of your full paper. Decide which track owns each contribution before the abstract deadline.
  • Generative-AI use must be disclosed; AI tools cannot be authors; SIGIR reserves automated compliance checks. Assume your PDF will be machine-screened.
  • ACM authorship policy applies: the author list is expected to be stable and human.

Desk-reject triage

TriggerSeverityCan it be fixed after the deadline?
Over budget (appendix counted in)Desk rejectNo
Wrong track's OpenReview groupDesk reject or forced withdrawalUsually no
Identity leak (name, log, leaderboard)Desk rejectNo
Parallel submission discoveredDesk reject at any timeNo
Same content in two SIGIR tracksBoth at riskOnly by withdrawing one first
Missing PC-member nominationChair follow-up / submission incompleteSometimes, briefly
No significance testing on close resultsReview-stage damageOnly before the deadline

Final-week sequence for a retrieval paper

  1. Freeze runs: regenerate every table from versioned run files (TREC-format runs/*.trec) so the PDF, repository, and any leaderboard entry agree.
  2. Re-run the significance script last — copy-pasted p-values from stale runs are a classic reviewer catch when the numbers moved.
  3. Compress into the page budget by demoting per-query analyses to the repository, not by shrinking floats or tampering with sigconf spacing.
  4. Anonymity sweep: PDF metadata, acknowledgments, repo URL, system name, log provenance.
  5. Upload to the correct track group, complete the AI-disclosure and PC-nomination fields, and verify the OpenReview abstract matches the PDF abstract.
bash
# Pre-upload checks that catch the silent killers
pdfinfo paper.pdf | grep -iE "author|creator"        # metadata identity leak
grep -inE "acknowledg|our (system|engine|company)" *.tex  # textual leaks
grep -c "documentclass\[sigconf" main.tex             # right ACM class
pdftotext paper.pdf - | grep -icE "p ?[<=] ?0\.05|t-test|significan"  # stats present?

Abstract-deadline gotchas

The abstract deadline (a week before the PDF in recent cycles) is a harder gate than teams expect:

  • Title, author list, and track are effectively frozen there; ACM authorship policy makes later author changes painful and cross-track moves are usually impossible.
  • The abstract text should be the PDF's abstract, not a placeholder — reviewers bid on it, and a bait-and-switch abstract draws mismatched expertise.
  • Conflicts-of-interest declarations and the PC-member nominee belong to this stage; chasing a nominee's consent during PDF week is a self-inflicted crisis.

What this audit does not cover

Evidence quality lives in sigir-experiments; page-budget writing strategy in sigir-writing-style and sigir-supplementary; track choice in sigir-topic-selection. If the paper is a dataset or a replication, stop here and re-route: Resources and Reproducibility have different budgets, different anonymity regimes (Resources is single-anonymous), and different dates.
