At a glance

A skill your agent uses when converting a SODA (ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms) acceptance into a correct SIAM proceedings entry — following the October final-version instructions…

  • Condensing the no-limit submission into the proceedings version

  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Soda Camera Ready is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when converting a SODA (ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms) acceptance into a correct SIAM proceedings entry — following the October final-version instructions, condensing the no-limit submission into the proceedings version, restoring author identity, syncing the arXiv full version, and planning the January talk.

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 Academic paper search. It works with arXiv. 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

  • Condensing the no-limit submission into the proceedings version
  • Restoring author identity
  • Syncing the arXiv full version
  • Planning the January talk

Example prompts

  • “/soda-camera-ready”

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 (its code samples are bibtex).

    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

Soda Camera Ready loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 698 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~86
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.

SODA Camera-Ready

For SODA 2027, acceptance notices and final-paper instructions go out in October 2026, and the conference runs January 24-27, 2027 in Philadelphia (checked 2026-07-08 via the SIAM SODA27 pages, read through search renderings). SODA proceedings are produced through SIAM's publication machinery and appear in the SIAM Publications Library (epubs.siam.org) as "Proceedings of the [year] Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms" — e.g., DOI prefix 10.1137/1.9781611978322 for 2025 and 10.1137/1.9781611978971 for 2026. The final-version page allowance, the SIAM macro package to use, and the exact upload route are specified only in the acceptance email each cycle (2027 values: 待核实 until that email exists).

The condensation problem

SODA reviews the full version but publishes a proceedings version, so October's work is usually compression, the reverse of page-capped venues where camera-ready means expansion. Decide early which of the three standard shapes the final version takes:

ShapeWhen to choose itCost
Full paper fits the allowanceShort papers, tight allowances rareNone — reformat only
Proceedings version + arXiv full versionThe normal SODA outcomeMaintaining two documents that must not drift
Proceedings version + journal planResults with journal-strength depth (SICOMP, TALG, ACM ToA)Journal referee round later; note the proceedings appearance

Rules for the cut:

  • Theorem statements never change between versions. If compression forces a restatement, something is wrong with the plan, not the theorem.
  • Cut proofs bottom-up: routine verifications first, then standard-technique lemmas, never the novel-technique core. Each cut gets a pointer: "the proof appears in the full version [arXiv:XXXX.XXXXX]."
  • Update the arXiv record the same week the proceedings version is finalized, so the pointer resolves to the version you actually cite.

De-anonymization checklist

The submission was lightweight double-blind; the proceedings version is not. Restore, in one pass:

text
[ ] Author block: names, affiliations, emails — order agreed by all coauthors
[ ] Funding and grant acknowledgements (agency rules on wording checked)
[ ] Personal acknowledgements (colleagues, referees if the PC permits)
[ ] Self-citations returned to natural first-person phrasing where clearer
[ ] ORCID / author-metadata fields in whatever form SIAM's system requests
[ ] PDF metadata regenerated — title and authors, not "anonymous submission"

Then run the reverse check: no leftover "the authors of [7]" circumlocutions that now read strangely, no \ifanon branches still active.

SIAM machinery specifics

  • Follow the macro/style instructions in the acceptance email exactly; SIAM copyediting is format-strict, and the proceedings are typeset from what you hand over. Package name and options for 2027: 待核实.
  • A copyright or publication agreement with SIAM is part of the process; the signer must be authorized by all authors. Terms and any open-access mechanics for the 2027 volume: 待核实 (do not assume another society's defaults).
  • The DOI for your paper will hang off the volume's 10.1137/1.978... prefix — cite the proceedings version by that DOI once live, not by a HotCRP link.

Version-citation hygiene after publication

Once the proceedings entry exists, three versions of the paper circulate — the proceedings version, the arXiv full version, and (later, perhaps) a journal version. Set the citation policy now, because other people's bibliographies will fossilize whatever you put in front of them first:

bibtex
@inproceedings{YourKey27,
  author    = {...},
  title     = {...},
  booktitle = {Proceedings of the 2027 Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium
               on Discrete Algorithms (SODA)},
  year      = {2027},
  pages     = {...},           % from the SIAM volume
  doi       = {10.1137/1.978...},
  note      = {Full version: arXiv:XXXX.XXXXX}
}
  • Announce the canonical citation on the arXiv abstract page ("Appeared in SODA 2027; cite the proceedings version").
  • If a journal version is planned (SICOMP, TALG, ACM ToA are the community's registers of record), say so in the arXiv comments so surveys wait for the strongest bound rather than quoting the proceedings one forever (soda-related-work documents the reader-side of this problem).
  • Keep theorem numbering stable across versions where possible; downstream papers cite "Theorem 3 of [You]" and renumbering breaks them silently.

January obligations

  • SODA talks are the visible payoff; slots are short. Build the talk around one theorem, one picture of the technique, one open problem.
  • Presentation/registration requirements (who must register, remote options if any) are stated in the SIAM acceptance materials: 待核实 per cycle. Assume at least one author attends in person and budget for a January North-American trip.
  • Coordinate with co-located ALENEX and SOSA schedules if coauthors have papers there — the satellite talks share the venue and the audience.
