What it does

Socc Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when auditing an ACM SoCC (Symposium on Cloud Computing) research-paper submission for HotCRP readiness, covering the two-round abstract+paper deadlines, the acmart/sigconf 12-page (full) or 6-page (short) budget with unlimited references, dual-anonymous review, the systems-and-data reproducibility posture, and desk-reject triage before the AoE cutoff.

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.

It sits in Research & Science, covering Reproducible research. 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 SoCC (Symposium on Cloud Computing) research-paper submission for HotCRP readiness
  • Covering the two-round abstract+paper deadlines
  • The acmart/sigconf 12-page (full)
  • 6-page (short) budget with unlimited references

Example prompts

  • “/socc-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Freeze the system and the measurements early; text can churn, the numbers cannot.
  2. Register title/abstract/authors/conflicts before the round's abstract cutoff.
  3. Assemble the anonymized artifact (trace-replay harness, testbed scripts) and place its link in
  4. Run the mechanical anonymity checks on the final PDF and the final archive, not drafts.
  5. Fill every HotCRP field — subject tags matching both the systems and data facets, conflicts for
  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

Socc Submission loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 770 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
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 auditing an ACM SoCC (Symposium on Cloud Computing) research-paper submission for HotCRP readiness, covering the two-round abstract+paper deadlines, the acmart/sigconf 12-page (full) or 6-page (short) budget with unlimited references, dual-anonymous review, the systems-and-data reproducibility posture, and desk-reject triage before the AoE cutoff.

SoCC Submission

Run this audit before uploading to the SoCC HotCRP site (socc26.hotcrp.com for the 2026 cycle). SoCC — the ACM Symposium on Cloud Computing — is the only venue jointly sponsored by SIGMOD and SIGOPS, so your paper is read by both systems and data-management reviewers and must satisfy both. Every number below was read from the SoCC 2026/2025 calls on 2026-07-09 via search renderings of the acmsocc.org URLs (see resources/official-source-map.md); treat them as a one-cycle snapshot and reopen the live call first.

The two-round calendar (the distinctive SoCC deadline)

SoCC runs two review rounds per year, each with its own abstract, submission, author-response, and notification dates. For SoCC 2026:

  • Round 1: abstract 6 Feb 2026, paper 13 Feb 2026, response 12-14 Apr 2026, notify 29 Apr 2026.
  • Round 2: abstract 7 Jul 2026, paper 14 Jul 2026 (AoE), response 10-12 Sep 2026, notify 26 Sep 2026.

Two consequences to internalize:

  • Abstract registration precedes the paper by ~a week within the round. Register the real title and abstract; the abstract drives reviewer bidding.
  • A Round-1 reject cannot be resubmitted to Round 2 of the same year. Choose the round you are genuinely ready for — a rushed Round-1 submission does not buy a cheap second attempt months later. Verify the exact dates and the no-resubmission rule on the live HotCRP deadlines page.

Format and page budget

  • ACM Primary Article Template, sigconf proceedings format, submitted anonymized: \documentclass[sigconf, anonymous]{acmart}, 9pt. This is the ACM acmart path — not the USENIX template that OSDI/NSDI/ATC use. Do not carry a USENIX-format habit across.
  • Page budget (verify per cycle): full research papers 12 pages for all text and figures, plus unlimited references; short research papers 6 pages plus unlimited references. The unlimited-reference allowance is generous — but everything a reviewer must read to judge the paper lives in the 12 (or 6) pages, not in an appendix.
  • Single PDF, US-Letter, ≤10 MB. Margins, font, and spacing are fixed by acmart; recover space by editing, not by tampering with the template.

Dual-anonymous sweep

SoCC review is dual-anonymous: reviewers do not see authors and authors do not see reviewers. Because cloud-systems papers lean on deployments, traces, and named infrastructure, the leak surface is wide:

bash
# Mechanical pass on the submission PDF and any released artifact archive
pdfinfo paper.pdf | grep -Ei 'author|creator|producer'
pdftotext paper.pdf - | grep -nEi 'github\.com/[a-z0-9-]+|zenodo\.org/record|our (cluster|company|team|deployment)|acknowledg|grant' | head
unzip -l artifact.zip | grep -Ei '\.git/|\.DS_Store|/home/|/Users/|internal' | head

The SoCC-specific leaks: a cluster or datacenter name, a cloud provider or product hint that only your team runs, a trace named after your organization, a system named after your lab, and a data-availability link pointing at a personal or corporate repository. Anonymize traces and re-host artifacts behind an anonymizing service before upload.

Reproducibility posture at submission time

SoCC is a systems-and-data venue; reviewers expect an inspectable evidence trail:

  • Describe the testbed / cluster, the workloads or traces, and the measurement scripts that produce the paper's figures — enough that a reviewer believes the numbers are reproducible.
  • Provide an anonymized artifact link or archived supplement where possible; released code, workload generators, and traces strengthen both the systems and the data reading of the paper.
  • If a production trace or deployment cannot be shared (confidentiality), say so and why, and give what can be shared (a synthetic generator, aggregate statistics).

Desk-risk triage

Finding at audit timeSeverityReal fix
Main text over the 12/6-page budgetDesk-reject-gradeCut or compress; unlimited references do not absorb body text

Round-1 reject reused in Round 2Policy violationNot allowed same year; reroute or wait a full cycle
Same work under review elsewhereDual-submission exposureWithdraw one venue; verify the current concurrent-submission wording

Final-week order of operations

  1. Freeze the system and the measurements early; text can churn, the numbers cannot.
  2. Register title/abstract/authors/conflicts before the round's abstract cutoff.
  3. Assemble the anonymized artifact (trace-replay harness, testbed scripts) and place its link in the paper.
  4. Run the mechanical anonymity checks on the final PDF and the final archive, not drafts.
  5. Fill every HotCRP field — subject tags matching both the systems and data facets, conflicts for every coauthor's institution and recent collaborators — a day early.
  6. Re-download the uploaded PDF and read it cold to confirm it is the file you meant.

Reverify each cycle

  • The number of rounds, both rounds' dates, AoE cutoffs, and the no-cross-round-resubmission rule.
  • The page budget and which acmart revision / font size is required.
  • Rebuttal format, artifact-track existence and timing, dual-submission wording, and any AI-disclosure rule — all cycle-volatile; none should be assumed stable.
