What it does

Uist Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when interpreting the UIST review pipeline — anonymous PC-plus-external review of papers and videos, the rebuttal's role, PC-meeting decisions, conditional acceptance mechanics, reading systems-reviewer psychology, and choosing the demo/poster fallback or resubmission path after a rejection.

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.

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.

  • 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

Uist Review Process loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 741 words of instructions outside code blocks.

~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.

UIST Review Process

Understanding how UIST decides is mostly understanding who decides: a program committee of people who build interactive systems, supported by external reviewers drawn from the same community, converging in discussion and a PC meeting. The venue is single-track and relatively intimate — the person reviewing your haptics paper probably built a haptics device. The pipeline facts below are the 2026 cycle's (verified 2026-07-08); exact committee mechanics beyond the published dates are 待核实 each year.

The 2026 pipeline

Stage2026 timingWhat happens to your paper
Submission closesMar 31PDF + video + supplement enter PCS
Review periodApril-MayPC members and externals review paper and video
RebuttalMay 28 - Jun 5Authors respond in ≤ 5,000 characters
Discussion + PC meetingJuneRecommendations formed from submission, rebuttal, reviews, and reviewer/PC discussion
NotificationJun 27Accept (conditional), or reject
Camera-readyJul 24Conditions from the rebuttal must be delivered

Two structural notes: the decision explicitly weighs the rebuttal and the inter-reviewer discussion, so the rebuttal is a real instrument (see uist-author-response); and acceptances are conditional — the notification is a contract whose terms you wrote yourself in the rebuttal.

How systems reviewers actually read

  • Video first, skeptically. The initial question is "does this thing exist and work as claimed?" A missing video for a highly dynamic system starts the review from doubt.
  • Novelty as capability delta. Reviewers pattern-match against the systems canon; the related-work table is where they check whether you know it (see uist-related-work).
  • Implementation as competence signal. Vague engineering prose reads as either concealment or shallow work; specific parameters and honest failure boundaries read as craft.
  • Evaluation-matching, not evaluation-maximizing. A ritual study annoys reviewers more than a well-argued demonstration portfolio (see uist-experiments).
  • Enthusiasm is a real variable. UIST reviewers reward inventiveness; a technically modest but genuinely delightful idea can outscore a heavy but dull one. Write and film for the builder's grin.

Reading your reviews

Sort every reviewer point into one of four bins before reacting:

text
FACTUAL ERROR      reviewer misread a mechanism/number  -> correct, citing section
EVIDENCE GAP       claim outruns measurement            -> concede scope or add data
NOVELTY CHALLENGE  "system X already does this"         -> capability-delta answer
TASTE              "I would have built it differently"  -> acknowledge, do not litigate

The bins predict rebuttal leverage: factual errors and novelty challenges are winnable in 5,000 characters; evidence gaps are winnable only if the evidence already exists; taste is never winnable and costs characters.

Discussion dynamics in a small committee

Between rebuttal and notification, your paper's fate is a conversation you cannot attend. What is knowable about that phase shapes what you should have done earlier:

  • Reviews converge through discussion; a champion reviewer arguing from your rebuttal's specifics is the mechanism by which mixed reviews become accepts. The rebuttal's job is to arm that champion (see uist-author-response).
  • Expertise is uneven by design — a paper spanning fabrication and ML gets one deep expert per half; the review that "missed the point" often belongs to the other half's expert, and answering it teaches the whole committee.
  • Single-track scale means PC members see a broad slice of the year's submissions; "we saw three of these this cycle" is a real dynamic, and a crisp capability delta is the defense.
  • Scores move at the meeting. Borderline papers with concrete, deliverable rebuttal promises are cheap accepts; borderline papers with defensive rebuttals are cheap rejects.

Calibrating expectations by decision class

Outcome signalWhat it usually meansYour move
Conditional accept, short condition listCommittee wants the paper; conditions are the contractDeliver precisely; see uist-camera-ready
Reject, reviews ask for more evaluationEvidence gap — repairable in one cycleRepair plan from the review bins
Reject, reviews dispute noveltyRelated-work or delta failureFix positioning before anything else
Reject, reviews question the contribution's homeVenue mismatchRe-run uist-topic-selection honestly

After rejection: the three exits

  1. Adjunct fallback, same conference. A rejected paper's system is often a strong Demo or Poster submission to the same edition — the adjunct deadlines fall after paper notification. This keeps the work visible, collects hallway review, and stakes a dated adjunct publication. Remember the 2026 rule: one adjunct track per work, not both.
  2. Repair and resubmit to UIST next year: use the review bins as the work plan; evidence-gap rejections are the most repairable class.
  3. Re-route when reviews reveal a venue mismatch — "the contribution is the study, not the system" is a CHI/CSCW signal, and uist-topic-selection should be re-run rather than argued with.

Confidentiality and conduct

Reviews, reviewer identities, and PC discussion are confidential; do not quote reviews publicly or attempt reviewer identification. Contact the program chairs (program2026@uist.org for the 2026 cycle) only for process failures — a genuinely missing review, a compromised anonymity situation — not to relitigate scores.
