What it does

Uist Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when performing the final pre-upload audit of a UIST paper in PCS — the abstract-then-paper deadline pair, 10-page/5-page two-column limits with desk-reject enforcement, anonymous acmart options, video-figure and supplementary uploads, the prior-work overlap rule, and deadline-week sequencing.

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. 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

  • Performing the final pre-upload audit of a UIST paper in PCS — the abstract-then-paper deadline pair
  • 10-page/5-page two-column limits with desk-reject enforcement
  • Anonymous acmart options
  • Video-figure and supplementary uploads

Example prompts

  • “/uist-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Abstract deadline (one week out). Title, abstract, author list, and metadata
  2. Paper deadline. The PDF, the video figure, and all supplementary files.

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
    • ffprobe

    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

Uist Submission loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 767 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~79
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.

description
Use when performing the final pre-upload audit of a UIST paper in PCS — the abstract-then-paper deadline pair, 10-page/5-page two-column limits with desk-reject enforcement, anonymous acmart options, video-figure and supplementary uploads, the prior-work overlap rule, and deadline-week sequencing.

UIST Submission

This is the audit to run in the final week before the Papers deadline. Numbers below are the verified 2026 cycle (checked 2026-07-08 via search renderings of uist.acm.org/2026/, direct fetch blocked): abstracts March 24, papers March 31, both 11:59 pm AoE. The 2026 deadline has passed — apply this skill to a 2027 submission only after re-reading that year's Author Guide, and expect the numbers to move.

What PCS collects, and when

UIST runs on PCS (Precision Conference Solutions): in the submission form, choose society "SIGCHI", conference "UIST 2026", track "UIST 2026 Papers". Two deadlines structure the week:

  1. Abstract deadline (one week out). Title, abstract, author list, and metadata must exist in PCS. This gates reviewer assignment — a placeholder abstract that drifts from the final paper lands you with mismatched reviewers, the least fixable submission error.
  2. Paper deadline. The PDF, the video figure, and all supplementary files. Everything reviewed arrives now; there is no later supplement slot.

Format gate

Check2026 ruleEnforcement
TemplateTwo-column acmart, \documentclass[sigconf,review,anonymous]{acmart}Manual + visual
Body length10 pages (standard) or 5 pages (short), excluding references and appendicesDesk reject if exceeded
AppendicesInside the same PDF, after references; body must stand aloneReview-stage damage
Video figureOptional, strongly encouraged: ≤ 3 min, 1080p/4K, MP4 H.264Reviewer-side (see uist-supplementary)
AnonymityPaper, video, and supplement all purged of identityDesk reject

A short paper is a distinct category (smaller complete contribution), not a truncated standard paper — do not switch categories on deadline night to dodge the page count.

Anonymity, the UIST version

The standard is "reasonable effort," with two venue-specific twists:

  • Third-person self-citation with full references. Do not redact your own citations; write about your prior work as if someone else built it.
  • Overlap attachment. If a prior submission of yours overlaps significantly, upload an anonymized copy of it as supplementary material.

Sweep everything that ships: PDF text, PDF metadata, acknowledgements and grant numbers, repository and project-page URLs, video frames (lab posters, faces, institutional wallpaper), video audio (narrator self-identification), file names, and archive contents.

bash
# Mechanical pass over the actual upload set
pdfinfo paper.pdf | grep -Ei 'author|creator|producer'
pdftotext paper.pdf - | grep -nEi 'github|gitlab|osf\.io|acknowledg|grant' | head
ffprobe -v error -show_entries format=duration:stream=width,height,codec_name video.mp4
unzip -l supplement.zip | grep -Ei '\.git|DS_Store|/Users/|/home/' | head

Deadline-week order of operations

  1. T-7d: abstract deadline — final title/abstract in PCS, authors and conflicts complete, subject metadata chosen for reviewer routing.
  2. T-5d: body frozen at the page limit; appendix absorbs the overflow.
  3. T-4d: video locked (edits, captions, anonymization) and compressed to spec; verify PCS accepts the file size early, since caps were not published (待核实).
  4. T-2d: full anonymity sweep on the merged PDF, video, and archive; run the mechanical checks above on the exact files to be uploaded.
  5. T-1d: upload everything, then re-download from PCS and open cold — the re-downloaded copy is what reviewers see. Confirm the PCS abstract matches the PDF abstract word for word.
  6. T-0: buffer only. AoE means UTC-12; convert once, write it on the wall.
Show full SKILL.md (303 more words)Show less

PCS form fields worth drafting early

The form is read before the PDF and configured per track; draft its contents days ahead rather than composing in the upload session:

  • Title and abstract — identical to the PDF, since the abstract drives reviewer matching from the abstract deadline onward.
  • Author list and conflicts — complete at abstract time; adding authors later in the process is at minimum awkward and possibly restricted (待核实 per cycle).
  • Subject/topic descriptors — choose for the reviewer pool you want; a fabrication paper tagged only "AI" gets AI reviewers.
  • Prior-submission declarations — where the form asks about overlapping or previously reviewed material, answer literally; this is also where the anonymized overlap attachment gets referenced.
  • Track category — standard vs short is a claim about contribution scale; reviewers hold you to the category you picked.

Last-day failure modes, ranked by frequency

FailurePrevention
Video upload stalls or exceeds an unpublished capUpload media a full day early; keep a lower-bitrate export ready
Final LaTeX rebuild shifts the paper past the limitFreeze the body two days out; late edits go to the appendix
PDF metadata carries an author name from a home templateMechanical sweep on the exact export, every export
PCS abstract diverges from a last-minute PDF abstract editOne person owns both texts; diff them at T-1d
A co-author's "tiny fix" reintroduces an acknowledgements blockLock the repo after the anonymity sweep

Dual-track and dual-venue rules

  • Papers under review elsewhere may not be under review at UIST at the same time.
  • Within UIST 2026, the same work sent to both Demos and Posters is treated as a demo submission and rejected from Posters — pick one adjunct lane deliberately.
  • A prior adjunct publication (demo/poster abstract) of the same system does not anonymize away: cite it in the third person and state the delta.
