What it does

Sosp Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when auditing a SOSP submission for HotCRP readiness, covering the abstract-registration and full-paper deadlines, the 12-page technical-content limit with references excluded, the 7x9-inch two-column format, double-blind rules with paper-ID substitution, conflict declaration under PC-chair audit, and desk-reject triage.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 a SOSP submission for HotCRP readiness
  • Covering the abstract-registration and full-paper deadlines
  • The 12-page technical-content limit with references excluded
  • The 7x9-inch two-column format

Example prompts

  • “/sosp-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Freeze the evaluation and rebuild all figures from logged data with one command.
  2. Compile in the official format and resolve overflow by cutting prose, not leading.
  3. Register the abstract with the final author list and a conflict list you can defend.
  4. Run the leak sweep above on the paper and the supplementary document.
  5. Replace the author block with the assigned paper ID; verify page one.
  6. Upload to HotCRP early; re-download the PDF from HotCRP and check it renders

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

Sosp Submission loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 683 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
~1.4k

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 a SOSP submission for HotCRP readiness, covering the abstract-registration and full-paper deadlines, the 12-page technical-content limit with references excluded, the 7x9-inch two-column format, double-blind rules with paper-ID substitution, conflict declaration under PC-chair audit, and desk-reject triage.

SOSP Submission

Run this audit before anything is uploaded to the SOSP HotCRP instance. Every number below is a 2026-cycle anchor verified on 2026-07-08 against the official CFP and author guidelines at sigops.org/s/conferences/sosp/2026/ and the sosp26.hotcrp.com deadlines page. SOSP re-issues these rules each year; treat the current cycle's pages as controlling and this file as the map of what to check.

Two deadlines, one hard gate

SOSP registers abstracts ahead of papers, and the registration is a real gate, not a courtesy: the paper ID assigned at registration replaces the author names on page one of the anonymized PDF, and conflict screening starts from the registered author list.

Gate (2026 anchors)DateWhat must be final
Abstract registrationMarch 27, 2026Title, abstract, complete author list, topics, conflicts
Full paper uploadApril 2, 2026, 7:59:59 AM EDTAnonymized PDF, optional supplementary document
NotificationJuly 3, 2026—
Camera-readyAugust 28, 2026Shepherd-approved final PDF

The six-day window between the two gates is for polishing, not for writing. A paper that does not build cleanly in the official format a week before registration is already late.

Page and format compliance

  • At most 12 pages of technical content — all text, figures, and tables count. Bibliographic references are not included in the limit, so never compress the bibliography to save space; compress prose instead.
  • 10-point font on 12-point leading, US letter, everything inside a 178 x 229 mm (7 x 9 in) block, two columns separated by 8 mm. Reviewers at this venue have seen every margin trick; a format violation reads as an integrity problem, not a typo.
  • Supplementary material goes in a separate document and may cover only items that are not critical to evaluating the paper (formal proofs, extra analyses, methodological detail). If a claim's evidence lives only in the supplement, the claim is unsupported for review purposes — move it into the 12 pages.

Anonymization the SOSP way

SOSP asks for a good-faith anonymization effort, judged pragmatically:

  • Page one carries the registered paper ID where the author block would sit.
  • No author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or grant numbers anywhere, including in the supplement and PDF metadata.
  • Self-references in third person; do not cite an identifying technical report as "our earlier version."
  • De-identify giveaway context: a deployment description that only one company could have written should be generalized ("a large content provider") without falsifying the evidence.

Conflict declaration is audited

Unlike venues where conflict lists are taken on trust, SOSP's PC chairs review the declared conflicts, may add missing ones, and may remove declared conflicts that have no basis — naming a PC member as a conflict to dodge a tough reviewer is explicitly called out as improper. Papers conflicted with both PC chairs are routed to a designated conflict chair. Practical consequences:

  • Build the conflict list from real categories (co-authors, advisors, same institution, recent collaboration), and be able to justify every entry if asked.
  • An undeclared genuine conflict discovered late can poison an otherwise-positive review discussion; over-declaration can be reversed by the chairs and damages trust.

Unjustified conflict entriesRemoved by chairs; credibility costChairs act unilaterally

Final-ten-days sequence

  1. Freeze the evaluation and rebuild all figures from logged data with one command.
  2. Compile in the official format and resolve overflow by cutting prose, not leading.
  3. Register the abstract with the final author list and a conflict list you can defend.
  4. Run the leak sweep above on the paper and the supplementary document.
  5. Replace the author block with the assigned paper ID; verify page one.
  6. Upload to HotCRP early; re-download the PDF from HotCRP and check it renders page-complete — the submission of record is what HotCRP holds, not your local file.
