What it does

Sosp Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning a SOSP campaign across the annual cycle — back-scheduling from the spring abstract and paper deadlines, running the summer response and July notification, stacking the August camera-ready with artifact evaluation, and retargeting rejections across the SOSP/OSDI/EuroSys circuit.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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

  • Planning a SOSP campaign across the annual cycle — back-scheduling from the spring abstract and paper deadlines
  • Running the summer response and July notification
  • Stacking the August camera-ready with artifact evaluation
  • Retargeting rejections across the SOSP/OSDI/EuroSys circuit

Example prompts

  • “/sosp-workflow”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Shepherd thread — revision plan within days, agreed scope, 13th/14th page
  2. Artifact thread — sysartifacts registration opens days after notification;
  3. Logistics thread — ACM rights form, registration, Czech-entry visas where

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

    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 Workflow loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 520 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

SOSP Workflow

Use this to place a project on the SOSP calendar and to decide what to do in the current phase. SOSP has been annual since 2024 (the SIGOPS announcement is at sigops.org/2023/sosp-is-going-annual/), which changed campaign planning from a two-year bet into a rolling circuit. All dates below were checked 2026-07-08.

The 2026 cycle as the template

Milestone (2026 cycle)DatePhase it opens
Abstract registrationMarch 27, 2026 (Apr 1 AoE window rendered in EDT on HotCRP)Freeze title/authors/conflicts
Full paper deadlineApril 2, 2026, 7:59:59 AM EDTReview
Author response windowAnnounced with reviews, pre-PC-meetingsosp-author-response
NotificationJuly 3, 2026Camera-ready + AE (accepted) or retarget (rejected)
Camera-readyAugust 28, 2026Shepherded final version
ConferenceSep 29 - Oct 2, 2026, Prague, Czech RepublicTalk, posters, workshops

As of 2026-07-08 the notification has just landed: teams are either five days into the acceptance track or five days into retargeting. SOSP 2027 dates are unpublished (待核实 at sigops.org and sosp.org); the annual pattern implies a spring 2027 deadline, but never back-schedule against an implied date — only against a posted one.

Accepted: three threads, two months

July 3 to August 28 runs three deadline-bound conversations in parallel, and the standing failure is one person owning all three:

  1. Shepherd thread — revision plan within days, agreed scope, 13th/14th page negotiation (see sosp-camera-ready). Owner A.
  2. Artifact thread — sysartifacts registration opens days after notification; the evaluation window is interactive (see sosp-artifact-evaluation). Owner B.
  3. Logistics thread — ACM rights form, registration, Czech-entry visas where needed, talk preparation. Owner C, earliest start wins on visas.

Rejected: the retargeting circuit

Annual SOSP plus annual OSDI plus the EuroSys/ATC/NSDI ring means a systems paper is rarely more than a few months from its next natural deadline. Retarget on a decision tree, not on grief:

  • Reviews attack soundness (evaluation holes, unisolated mechanisms): fix the evidence first; the next deadline is whichever one the new experiments make.
  • Reviews attack fit or significance but concede soundness: the paper may be right for a sibling with a different center of gravity — networked-systems framing to NSDI, storage framing to FAST, deployment/practitioner framing to ATC.
  • Reviews are strong with one blocker: an OSDI resubmission in the next window with a surgical fix and a cover-your-delta introduction paragraph is the highest expected-value move. Exact sibling deadlines shift every cycle (待核实 against each venue's current CFP before promising a date to co-authors).

Back-scheduling the next submission

text
T-9 months   problem locked; motivating measurement exists; skeleton design review
T-6 months   system runs end-to-end on one workload; claim list drafted
T-4 months   evaluation matrix frozen (sosp-experiments); baselines built and tuned
T-10 weeks   full experimental sweep begins; env capture automated (sosp-reproducibility)
T-6 weeks    complete draft; strict 15-minute read by an outside systems reader
T-3 weeks    evaluation freeze; figures one-command from logs
T-10 days    format compile, leak sweep, conflict list drafted (sosp-submission)
T-6 days     abstract registration
T-0          upload; verify the HotCRP-held PDF, not the local one

The two intervals teams misjudge: baselines (building and fairly tuning someone else's system routinely costs a month) and the draft-to-freeze gap (a SOSP draft that first exists three weeks before the deadline reads like it).

Cadence discipline for a group

  • Track the circuit in one shared calendar: SOSP, OSDI, EuroSys, ATC, NSDI, FAST, plus HotOS in odd rhythm for early-stage ideas — each with abstract and paper gates, refreshed from official CFPs each fall and spring.
  • One project, one primary venue bet, one named fallback — deciding the fallback before notification removes the week of post-rejection drift.
  • Never submit the same work to overlapping review cycles; systems venues share PC members and treat dual submission as an integrity violation.

Output format

[Phase] where this project sits on the cycle today
[Owners] shepherd / artifact / logistics threads assigned?
[If rejected] soundness vs fit diagnosis -> named next venue + posted deadline
[Back-schedule] T-milestones with dates against the next posted deadline
