Usenixsec Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about how a USENIX Security Symposium cycle actually decides — early-reject notifications, multi-round reviewing, the retirement of Major Revision in favor of shepherd-approval acceptances, resubmission restrictions between cycles, and what each notification email means for planning.
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.
It sits in Security. 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.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Usenixsec Review Process loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 555 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

.claude/skills/usenixsec-review-process/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).USENIX Security reviews in two annual cycles, each a self-contained pipeline from registration to notification. The '26 cycle mechanics below were read from usenix.org pages on 2026-07-08 (via search renderings; direct fetch 403'd), with the '25 reviewing-model page as documented history. The '27 mechanics under chairs Adam Doupé (Arizona State) and Andrei Sabelfeld (Chalmers) are only partially posted — treat everything here as one venue-generation's snapshot.
| Stage | Cycle 1 ('26) | Cycle 2 ('26) | What is happening |
|---|---|---|---|
| Registration | Aug 19, 2025 | Jan 29, 2026 | HotCRP record frozen; bidding data set |
| Submission | Aug 26, 2025 | Feb 5, 2026 | Format/policy screening begins |
| Early reject | Oct 7, 2025 | Mar 17, 2026 | Bottom of the pool exits after first-round reads |
| Final notification | Dec 4, 2025 | May 14, 2026 | Accept / shepherd-approval / reject |
| Finals due | Jan 15, 2026 | Jun 11, 2026 | Shepherding + Phase-1 AE complete |
The '25 model (last fully published) shows the shape inside those windows: two first-round reviews; online discussion; survivors gain two more reviews in round two; authors respond; the committee discusses to a decision. Expect roughly that structure until the current cycle's reviewing-model page says otherwise (待核实 for '27).
Through '25, USENIX Security ran an Accept / Invited Major Revision / Reject scheme, where a major revision returned to the same reviewers in a later cycle. The '26 CFP retired major revisions. The current outcomes:
Strategic consequence: the paper must be finished at submission. The old major-revision safety net — submit at 85% and repair through revision — no longer exists; its replacement (shepherding) fixes prose, not evidence.
Beyond ordinary top-venue novelty/rigor screens, this committee applies filters that surprise authors from adjacent fields:
Early reject → 4 reviews were not spent on you; the pool's bottom tier.
Diagnose fit and framing, not just polish. Consider
usenixsec-topic-selection before re-targeting.
Reject (final) → full reviews attached; mine them for the resubmission and
check the current cross-cycle restriction before re-queuing.
Shepherd approval → acceptance-in-waiting; scope the change list within 48h
(see usenixsec-author-response).
Accept → the artifact clock is already running
(see usenixsec-camera-ready).Submissions are confidential to the committee; reviewer identities are hidden; contacting reviewers or attempting to identify them is out of bounds. Conflicts declared at registration drive assignment — fabricating conflicts to dodge a skeptical expert is chair-level misconduct at USENIX as elsewhere.

Usenixsec Review Process is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when reasoning about how a USENIX Security Symposium cycle actually decides — early-reject notifications, multi-round reviewing, the retirement of Major Revision in favor of shepherd-approval acceptances, resubmission restrictions between cycles, and what each notification email means for planning.
Usenixsec Review Process fits situations like: reasoning about how a USENIX Security Symposium cycle actually decides — early-reject notifications; multi-round reviewing; the retirement of Major Revision in favor of shepherd-approval acceptances; resubmission restrictions between cycles.
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill usenixsec-review-process -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (USENIX-Security-Skills/skills/usenixsec-review-process in brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills) into .claude/skills/usenixsec-review-process in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill usenixsec-review-process -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/usenixsec-review-process, .gemini/skills/usenixsec-review-process, .github/skills/usenixsec-review-process and .opencode/skills/usenixsec-review-process in your project.
SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Usenixsec Review Process is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Usenixsec Review Process is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.3k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 5.4k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
