What it does

Sigmetrics Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about how an ACM SIGMETRICS submission is evaluated, covering the hybrid conference-journal model, double-anonymous review, the three first-round outcomes (Accept-with-shepherding / One-Shot Revision / Reject), the one-shot revision resubmitted to a subsequent rolling deadline, the 12-month resubmission bar, and how SIGMETRICS differs from IMC, SIGCOMM, and NSDI.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.6k 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

  • Reasoning about how an ACM SIGMETRICS submission is evaluated
  • Covering the hybrid conference-journal model
  • Double-anonymous review
  • The three first-round outcomes (Accept-with-shepherding / One-Shot Revision / Reject)

Example prompts

  • “/sigmetrics-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

Sigmetrics Review Process loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 103 tokens; SKILL.md has 661 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~103
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.6k

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 reasoning about how an ACM SIGMETRICS submission is evaluated, covering the hybrid conference-journal model, double-anonymous review, the three first-round outcomes (Accept-with-shepherding / One-Shot Revision / Reject), the one-shot revision resubmitted to a subsequent rolling deadline, the 12-month resubmission bar, and how SIGMETRICS differs from IMC, SIGCOMM, and NSDI.

SIGMETRICS Review Process

Model the pipeline before interpreting any single review. SIGMETRICS's process is a hybrid of the conference and journal models: papers are POMACS articles, and the first-round decision is one of three outcomes, not a binary accept/reject. The most consequential mental shift for authors arriving from a plain conference is that One-Shot Revision is a real revise-and-resubmit round — but, unlike an open-ended journal R&R, it is single-shot and re-reviewed against an explicit list of required changes.

Process model

  • Submission and review run on HotCRP, one site per rolling deadline, with double-anonymous review (the Operational Systems Track may reveal the deploying org/system).
  • Reviewers weigh the rigor of the model or measurement, the correctness of proofs, the validity of assumptions, the fairness and soundness of any empirical/simulation evidence, novelty, and reproducibility. SIGMETRICS reviewers check theorems, not just plots.
  • Three first-round outcomes:
    • Accept — every accepted paper is shepherded, so reviewer-required changes are incorporated into the final POMACS version.
    • One-Shot Revision — a major-revision decision: the authors receive a summary of merits and a list of necessary changes, and may resubmit a revised version to one of the two subsequent SIGMETRICS/Performance deadlines, where it is re-reviewed (generally by the original reviewers).
    • Reject — may not be resubmitted to any SIGMETRICS deadline within 12 months of the initial submission.
  • Accepted papers publish in POMACS; summer/fall acceptances appear before the conference.

Reading a decision against the categories

DecisionWhat it meansAuthor move
Accept (shepherded)Rigor and evidence hold; shepherd will enforce specific fixesExecute the shepherd's list precisely; do not reopen scope
One-Shot RevisionRepairable gaps: a missing proof case, an unvalidated assumption, a needed experimentTreat as a single-shot R&R: close every listed change, resubmit to a subsequent deadline
RejectStructural: flawed model, wrong metric, unfixable evidenceReframe or reroute; you cannot resubmit to SIGMETRICS for 12 months

The strategic reading: write the initial submission so that whatever is weakest is fixable in one revision round (a proof case you can add, a simulation you can run) rather than structural (a model that does not capture the system). The process rewards repairable papers, but the revision is one shot — a second revision is not offered.

The one-shot-revision mechanics (the distinctive SIGMETRICS move)

  • You get one resubmission, targeting one of the next two deadlines — pick the one that gives you enough time to close the list without rushing.
  • The revision is judged against the explicit list of required changes, not re-opened for new objections in principle; unaddressed items are what turn the single shot into a reject.
  • Simultaneous-submission caution: a paper under one-shot revision is considered under submission to SIGMETRICS. Submitting it elsewhere before withdrawing is a dual-submission violation.

How SIGMETRICS differs from its siblings

  • vs. IMC (Internet Measurement Conference): IMC is a single-annual-deadline, measurement-only venue; SIGMETRICS runs three rolling deadlines, publishes in POMACS, and welcomes theory and learning alongside measurement. Do not assume IMC's calendar, scope, or accept/reject binary.
  • vs. SIGCOMM / NSDI: those are networking-systems conferences with rebuttal-then-decision cycles; SIGMETRICS's identity is the rigorous performance-evaluation framing (proofs of bounds) and the one-shot-revision journal hybrid. A systems-building paper often fits NSDI/OSDI better than SIGMETRICS.
  • vs. an open-ended journal (TON, Performance Evaluation): those allow multiple revision rounds; SIGMETRICS gives exactly one and ties publication to a conference presentation.

Who reads you

Expect reviewers who are performance-evaluation specialists: they will read a proof for a missing case, ask whether the M/G/1 (or other) assumptions match the measured workload, check whether a baseline is fairly tuned, and open the simulator to see whether the analytic curve really matches. Vague assumptions and hand-waved proofs get caught, not skimmed.

Where author leverage actually exists

text
[Before submission]  track + abstract -> reviewer pool               (largest lever)
[Initial reviews]    factual corrections, a missing proof case, an added assumption-validity check
[One-Shot Revision]  the strongest lever: close every listed change, resubmit to a later deadline,
                     re-read by the same reviewers -- but only once
[After reject]       no appeal; 12-month bar on SIGMETRICS resubmission -> reroute meanwhile

Misreadings to avoid

  • Treating One-Shot Revision as a guaranteed accept — the re-review is real and single-shot.
  • Assuming you can revise twice — you cannot; budget the one revision to close everything.
  • Forgetting the 12-month bar after a reject when planning the calendar.
  • Ignoring the shepherd on an accept — unincorporated shepherd requests can hold the final version.

Output format

text
[Process stage] pre-submission / awaiting reviews / one-shot revision / shepherding / accepted
[Decision category] accept / one-shot revision / reject, with the criterion driving it
[Criterion map] each review point -> rigor | proof correctness | assumption validity | evidence | novelty | reproducibility
[Revision plan] which subsequent deadline, and the closed-list of required changes
[Forbidden moves] identity leak / dual-submission while under one-shot revision / unaddressed listed change
