What it does

Sigmetrics Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when auditing an ACM SIGMETRICS submission for HotCRP readiness, covering the choice among the three rolling deadlines (summer/fall/winter), the separate abstract-registration step, the 20-page single-column acmsmall budget plus unlimited references, double-anonymous review (and the Operational Systems Track exception), track selection, POMACS publication, and desk-reject triage before the AoE cutoff.

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 an ACM SIGMETRICS submission for HotCRP readiness
  • Covering the choice among the three rolling deadlines (summer/fall/winter)
  • The separate abstract-registration step
  • The 20-page single-column acmsmall budget plus unlimited references

Example prompts

  • “/sigmetrics-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Choose the deadline and confirm its abstract and paper dates on the current HotCRP site.
  2. Freeze the model/theorem and the evaluation early; references can churn, the argument cannot.
  3. Register title/abstract/authors/conflicts/track before the registration cutoff.
  4. Build the anonymized artifact (model, seeded simulator, trace scripts) and reference it.
  5. Run the mechanical anonymity checks on the final PDF and archive, not drafts.
  6. Re-download the uploaded PDF and read it cold to confirm it is the file you meant.

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

Sigmetrics Submission loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 108 tokens; SKILL.md has 772 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~108
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.

Use when auditing an ACM SIGMETRICS submission for HotCRP readiness, covering the choice among the three rolling deadlines (summer/fall/winter), the separate abstract-registration step, the 20-page single-column acmsmall budget plus unlimited references, double-anonymous review (and the Operational Systems Track exception), track selection, POMACS publication, and desk-reject triage before the AoE cutoff.

SIGMETRICS Submission

Run this audit before uploading to the per-deadline SIGMETRICS HotCRP site. SIGMETRICS research papers are published as journal articles in POMACS (Proceedings of the ACM on Measurement and Analysis of Computing Systems), submitted on a three-deadlines-per-year rolling model, so the submission is judged like a journal manuscript that also earns a conference slot. Every number below was read from the SIGMETRICS 2026/2027 calls on 2026-07-09 via search renderings (see resources/official-source-map.md); treat them as a one-cycle snapshot and reopen the live call first.

Choose the deadline first

SIGMETRICS has three deadlines a year — summer, fall, winter — each on its own HotCRP site. This is the biggest departure from a single-annual-deadline conference:

  • Every deadline feeds the same POMACS journal; there is no "main" deadline.
  • Papers accepted from the summer and fall deadlines appear in POMACS before the conference; a winter acceptance publishes in the following issue. Pick the deadline whose notification and publication timing fits your goals (graduation, a job-market cycle, the conference you want to present at).
  • 2026-cycle dates (verify per cycle): Summer abstract Jul 22 / paper Jul 29 2025; Fall abstract Oct 7 / paper Oct 14 2025; Winter abstract Jan 6 / paper Jan 13 2026. All 23:59 AoE, hard. The live next target as of 2026-07-09 is the SIGMETRICS 2027 summer round (abstract Jul 3, 2026; paper deadline 待核实).

The two-step deadline

Each deadline separates abstract registration from paper submission, both AoE:

  • Abstract registration locks title, abstract, authors, conflicts, and track roughly a week early. Miss it and the system will not accept the PDF later.
  • Paper submission uploads the anonymized PDF a week after. Register with the real title and abstract — the abstract drives reviewer bidding.

Track selection

Select the track that matches your evidence on the submission site:

  • Theory (stochastic processes, queueing, scheduling, caching theory, algorithms, control).
  • Measurement & Applied Modeling (principled measurement/simulation of real systems — networking, distributed systems, architecture, cloud, edge/IoT, HPC).
  • Learning (ML/AI algorithm design and analysis, or learning for systems, with guarantees).
  • Operational Systems Track (deployed systems in significant real-world use).

Pick one track; a second only for genuinely interdisciplinary work. The full track set/count is cycle-volatile (待核实).

Format and page budget

  • ACM acmsmall single-column template, unmodified. This is the journal (POMACS) format, not a two-column conference style.
  • Page budget (verify per cycle): SIGMETRICS 2026 posts up to 20 pages of technical content including all tables and figures, plus unlimited pages for references. No changes to margins, spacing, or font sizes from the style files.
  • Editorial compression, not template tampering, is how you recover space. A proof-heavy paper that only fits by shrinking the model description is over-scoped for the body — move derivations to an appendix (still within the reviewed pages unless the call says otherwise).

Double-anonymous sweep

SIGMETRICS runs double-anonymous ("double-blind") review: make a good-faith effort to anonymize; do not identify yourself explicitly or by implication.

bash
# Mechanical pass on the submission PDF and any anonymized artifact archive
pdfinfo paper.pdf | grep -Ei 'author|creator|producer'
pdftotext paper.pdf - | grep -nEi 'github\.com/[a-z0-9-]+|our (system|prior) work|acknowledg|grant|university of' | head
unzip -l artifact.zip | grep -Ei '\.git/|\.DS_Store|/home/|/Users/' | head

The SIGMETRICS-specific leaks: a system named after your group, a trace whose provenance names your institution, a self-citation phrased in the first person, a cluster path in a simulation script. Exception: the Operational Systems Track may reveal the deploying organization or the deployed system where needed — confirm which track's rules apply before scrubbing.

Desk-risk triage

Finding at audit timeSeverityReal fix
Technical content over 20 pagesDesk-reject-gradeCut or move to an appendix; references are unlimited but do not absorb body text
Two-column or non-acmsmall templateNamed desk-reject groundRecompile in single-column acmsmall
Identity leak in PDF, plots, or code (non-Operational track)Anonymity violationRe-anonymize and re-host; scrub PDF metadata
Abstract not registered by the earlier dateNo submission slot existsNothing fixes this post-AoE — calendar it now
Wrong track selectedPoor reviewer matchFix at registration; a second track only if truly interdisciplinary
Same paper under review elsewhere (incl. a paper in one-shot revision here)Simultaneous-submission violationWithdraw one; a paper under one-shot revision counts as under submission

Final-week order of operations

  1. Choose the deadline and confirm its abstract and paper dates on the current HotCRP site.
  2. Freeze the model/theorem and the evaluation early; references can churn, the argument cannot.
  3. Register title/abstract/authors/conflicts/track before the registration cutoff.
  4. Build the anonymized artifact (model, seeded simulator, trace scripts) and reference it.
  5. Run the mechanical anonymity checks on the final PDF and archive, not drafts.
  6. Re-download the uploaded PDF and read it cold to confirm it is the file you meant.

Reverify each cycle

  • The three deadline dates and abstract-vs-paper offsets (they move every cycle).
  • The page budget and which acmsmall revision is required.
  • The track list and each track's anonymity policy (Operational Systems differs).
  • Whether an artifact/reproducibility track runs and its timing.
