What it does

Sigmod Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when readying a SIGMOD research-track submission for a PACMMOD round, covering the abstract-plus-COI pre-deadline, Microsoft CMT mechanics, the 12-page ACM-template limit, double-anonymous rules, the 10-paper author cap, the 12-month rejection embargo, and desk-reject hazards.

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

  • Readying a SIGMOD research-track submission for a PACMMOD round
  • Covering the abstract-plus-COI pre-deadline
  • Microsoft CMT mechanics
  • The 12-page ACM-template limit

Example prompts

  • “/sigmod-submission”

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

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • 2027.sigmod.org

    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

Sigmod Submission loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 766 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~75
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 readying a SIGMOD research-track submission for a PACMMOD round, covering the abstract-plus-COI pre-deadline, Microsoft CMT mechanics, the 12-page ACM-template limit, double-anonymous rules, the 10-paper author cap, the 12-month rejection embargo, and desk-reject hazards.

SIGMOD Submission

Run this audit before a round deadline. SIGMOD research papers are journal submissions to PACMMOD (Proceedings of the ACM on Management of Data), reviewed in year-round batches rather than one annual cutoff, so the first question is always "which round," not "which year." Reopen the live CFP for the cycle you target before trusting any number quoted here.

What must be true a week early

SIGMOD front-loads part of the deadline: the abstract and the declaration of conflicts of interest are due roughly one week before the paper itself (SIGMOD 2027: the 10th vs. the 17th of the round month, 11:59 PM AoE). Missing the abstract stage closes the round entirely — there is no PDF-only entry.

  • Register the submission in Microsoft CMT with final title, abstract, topic areas, and the complete author list.
  • Declare COIs honestly and completely; PC assignment happens off this data.
  • Count your load: SIGMOD 2027 caps each author at ten research-track submissions across all four rounds combined.
  • Decide now whether a weak draft should wait a round; a rejection triggers a 12-month embargo, and a late withdrawal is treated as a rejection too.

Format and anonymity gate

CheckSIGMOD 2027 rule (verify per cycle)Failure mode
Length12 pages max, unlimited pages for referencesDesk reject
TemplateCurrent ACM template, fonts/margins untouchedDesk reject
PACMMOD formatOnly for final publication, never for submissionConfused reviewers, chair flag
Author identityNo names, affiliations, or funding acknowledgementsDesk reject
Colleague thanksNo research-group or collaborator acknowledgementsAnonymity violation
Self-referencesThird person, no "our prior system" giveawaysReviewer discount or flag
ArtifactsLinks must not expose authorship or institutionAnonymity violation

Note the asymmetry with one-shot conferences: because reviewing is double-anonymous across the full round — including any revision phase — the anonymity discipline must survive months, not weeks. Plan artifact hosting accordingly.

Exclusivity and overlap

PACMMOD requires substantial novel content and exclusive consideration: once submitted, the paper (or anything with substantial overlap in results) stays out of every other venue until PACMMOD rejects it or you withdraw. Rolling PVLDB submissions of a sibling paper are the classic accidental violation — map the overlap between your group's pipelines before the abstract stage.

Round-selection judgment

  • Submit to the earliest round the evidence genuinely supports; a revision verdict already builds in one more month of runway.
  • Do not burn a round on a draft whose experiments are still moving — the embargo prices failure at three skipped rounds, not one.
  • If a companion paper is in PVLDB's monthly queue, stagger topics so neither submission poisons the other's novelty claim.
  • Check whether the industrial track fits better before defaulting to research; its calendar and rules are separate and single-shot.

All cutoffs 11:59 PM AoE. Source: https://2027.sigmod.org/calls_papers_important_dates.shtml. Future cycles will shift these dates; treat the pattern (quarterly rounds, abstract a week early) as the durable part and the dates as perishable.

Common desk-reject and triage patterns

  • Page 13 of content because an appendix crept ahead of the references.
  • A GitHub link whose organization name is the authors' lab.
  • Abstract registered under a placeholder title that never got updated.
  • The same experimental core simultaneously sitting in a PVLDB revision.
  • An acknowledgements section pasted in from a camera-ready of prior work.

None of these are recoverable after the round deadline; all of them are findable in an afternoon before it.

PODS co-location caution

SIGMOD ships with PODS, the theory symposium, under one registration and one week — but they are separate venues with separate CFPs, PCs, deadlines, and publication series. Concretely:

  • A theory-leaning paper does not "fall through" to PODS if SIGMOD rejects it; it must be submitted to PODS on PODS's own calendar.
  • Do not cite SIGMOD round dates when planning a PODS submission, and vice versa; the calendars are unrelated.
  • The exclusivity rule still applies across the pair — the same results cannot sit in both queues at once.

Final self-audit, one minute each

  • Open the uploaded PDF from CMT and read the title, author-block area, and page count with fresh eyes.
  • Search the PDF text for your surnames, institution, and grant numbers.
  • Click every URL in the paper from an incognito window.
  • Confirm the abstract in CMT matches the PDF abstract verbatim.
  • Confirm the round you think you entered is the round CMT shows.
