What it does

Stoc Camera Ready is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when converting a STOC (ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing) acceptance into publishable form — the ACM proceedings version, de-anonymization, rights forms, the CFP-level expectation that the full paper with proofs goes public on arXiv or ECCC by the camera-ready deadline, and TheoryFest talk preparation.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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

  • Converting a STOC (ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing) acceptance into publishable form — the ACM proceedings version
  • De-anonymization
  • The CFP-level expectation that the full paper with proofs goes public on arXiv
  • ECCC by the camera-ready deadline

Example prompts

  • “/stoc-camera-ready”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read the acceptance packet the same day; extract the production vendor's
  2. Triage the corrections file (stoc-workflow): reviewer-caught issues and
  3. Rebuild the paper in the ACM template early — two-column ACM format holds
  4. Freeze theorem numbering across both documents before either is finalized.
  5. Submit the ACM rights form, paste the generated block, upload, and then
  6. Book the talk rehearsal after the program schedule lands.

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 bash).

    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

Stoc Camera Ready loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 819 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 converting a STOC (ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing) acceptance into publishable form — the ACM proceedings version, de-anonymization, rights forms, the CFP-level expectation that the full paper with proofs goes public on arXiv or ECCC by the camera-ready deadline, and TheoryFest talk preparation.

STOC Camera-Ready

Anchor cycle: STOC 2026 required camera-ready copies by March 31, 2026 (AoE) for the conference in Salt Lake City, June 22–26, 2026, with proceedings in the ACM Digital Library (58th proceedings: dl.acm.org/doi/proceedings/10.1145/3798129; checked 2026-07-08). Two deliverables leave your hands in this phase, and they are not the same document.

Deliverable A: the proceedings version

  • Reformat from the loose 11-point submission format into the ACM proceedings template the acceptance email specifies; exact class file, page allowance, and the production vendor's upload flow are per-cycle instructions (待核实 from the acceptance packet, not from this file).
  • De-anonymize deliberately: author block with canonical name spellings and ORCID, restored acknowledgements and grant numbers, self-citations back in first person where that reads naturally.
  • Complete the ACM rights form before final upload; the copyright block the form generates must be pasted into the paper, and the title/author list in the form must match the PDF character for character.
  • Expect the proceedings version to remain an extended abstract: theorem statements, overview, and selected proofs. It is the citable record, not the complete mathematical record.

Deliverable B: the public full version

The STOC 2026 CFP stated the expectation that authors of accepted papers make their full papers, with proofs, publicly available on arXiv, ECCC, or a similar preprint service by the camera-ready deadline. Treat this as a hard milestone with its own checklist:

  • The full version must contain every proof the extended abstract defers, under the same theorem numbering or with an explicit correspondence table.
  • Title should match the proceedings title (a "(full version)" annotation is fine); the abstract page should cite the proceedings version once the DOI exists.
  • ECCC suits complexity papers seeking community review; arXiv cs.DS/cs.CC etc. is the default. Cross-listing is common and harmless.
bash
# Package the full version for arXiv from a clean checkout
latexmk -pdf full-version.tex                 # confirm it compiles cold
tar czf stoc-full.tar.gz full-version.tex \
    macros.tex refs.bib sections/ figures/    # sources, not the PDF
# then on arXiv: submit, check the auto-compiled PDF page by page,
# and verify theorem numbering against the proceedings version.

Keeping the two versions coherent

CheckProceedings versionFull version
Theorem statementsMust match full version verbatimMaster copy
ProofsSketches + pointers allowedComplete, no deferred steps
Bug found after acceptanceFix if production window allows; else noteFix and replace; arXiv versions are revisable
Long-term citationsDOI of recordWhere the community actually reads the math
NumberingMay compress; include mapping if soCanonical

The failure mode this table exists to prevent: a proceedings version whose Theorem 3 is the full version's Theorem 5, silently — every later citation and every reader cross-checking proofs pays for it.

Conference obligations

  • STOC 2026 ran inside a five/six-day TheoryFest program (talks, workshops, posters, invited events; the extra Saturday hosted a "Can AI do Theory?" workshop). Expect a short talk slot; theory talks succeed on one theorem, one proof idea, one picture — rehearse to the slot length announced with the program.
  • Registration and physical-presentation requirements for accepted papers were not verifiable from the CFP excerpts at check time: 待核实 in the acceptance email before booking decisions.
  • Award eligibility is automatic: the PC may designate up to four STOC Best Papers, and the Danny Lewin Best Student Paper Award applies when all authors were full-time students at submission (sigact.org/prizes).

Sequence from acceptance email to conference

  1. Read the acceptance packet the same day; extract the production vendor's instructions, the exact template, and every form deadline into a checklist.
  2. Triage the corrections file (stoc-workflow): reviewer-caught issues and post-submission bug fixes go into both versions now, cosmetic improvements into the full version only.
  3. Rebuild the paper in the ACM template early — two-column ACM format holds far less than the loose submission format, and the compression decisions (which proofs stay in the proceedings version) take real editorial time.
  4. Freeze theorem numbering across both documents before either is finalized.
  5. Submit the ACM rights form, paste the generated block, upload, and then post the full version — in that order, so the arXiv abstract can cite the final title.
  6. Book the talk rehearsal after the program schedule lands.

Post-publication hygiene

  • Update the arXiv/ECCC record with the DOI once the ACM DL entry is live.
  • If a journal version follows (JACM, SICOMP, TheoretiCS and TALG are the usual homes), note that SIGACT's prior-publication policy runs one way: the journal version extending a STOC extended abstract is standard practice, expected by editors, and should say "a preliminary version appeared in STOC 2026."
  • Archive the exact submitted, accepted, and camera-ready sources; Test of Time and prize committees read the proceedings version decades later.

Failure modes seen at this stage

  • The proceedings version compiled from stale submitted sources while all fixes went to the full version — the published record now carries known bugs (stoc-reproducibility's drift vignette, realized in production).
  • Rights-form metadata typed from memory, so the DL entry spells an author differently from every other paper they have written.
  • The arXiv posting deferred "until after the conference," quietly breaking the CFP's camera-ready expectation and leaving five months where the community cites a proofless extended abstract.
  • A talk built as a proof walkthrough; twenty minutes of lemma dependencies loses even the specialists. One theorem, one idea, one picture.
