  • Producing the final PVLDB version of an accepted VLDB paper

What it does

Vldb Camera Ready is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when producing the final PVLDB version of an accepted VLDB paper, covering the volume-specific template, PDF/A compliance and font embedding, figure legibility floors, the availability paragraph and artifact URL, proceedings file naming and copyright steps, and planning presentation at the matching VLDB conference.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 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 Documents & Office, covering Embeddings and PDF. 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

  • Producing the final PVLDB version of an accepted VLDB paper
  • Covering the volume-specific template
  • PDF/A compliance and font embedding
  • Figure legibility floors

Example prompts

  • “/vldb-camera-ready”

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

Vldb Camera Ready loads about 982 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 381 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~982

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 producing the final PVLDB version of an accepted VLDB paper, covering the volume-specific template, PDF/A compliance and font embedding, figure legibility floors, the availability paragraph and artifact URL, proceedings file naming and copyright steps, and planning presentation at the matching VLDB conference.

VLDB Camera Ready

Use this after a PVLDB acceptance. Publication is journal-style and fast: the paper enters a monthly PVLDB issue on vldb.org, usually well before the conference where it is presented. That speed cuts both ways — production errors go public quickly, and there is no long camera-ready season to catch them.

Production gates

  • Template: fetch the current template from the volume's formatting page (vldb.org/pvldb/volumes/<N>/formatting). Templates carry volume-specific headers and tags; a stale copy produces wrong running heads that only the proceedings chairs will catch, late.
  • PDF/A: PVLDB has required PDF/A-compliant files (PDF/A-2 or newer in the Vol 16 instructions) with every font embedded, including fonts inside figures exported from plotting tools — the usual offender. Validate with a real PDF/A checker, not by eyeballing.
  • Figure floor: nothing in a figure below LaTeX scriptsize (Vol 16 rule). Regenerate rather than rescale.
  • Naming and forms: Vol 16 wanted p[ID]-[lastname].pdf plus a signed copyright form; the exact Vol 20 mechanics are 待核实 — follow the acceptance email over anything here.

Availability paragraph

Supplying an artifact URL adds a highlighted availability statement to the published paper and qualifies it for the ACM availability badge. Decide the permanent home now:

Artifact homeBadge-worthinessRisk
Archival deposit (DOI-backed)StrongLeast; version-frozen
Institutional or lab serverWeakLink rot within years
Git repo, tagged releaseGoodForce-push and deletion hazards
Git repo, default branchPoorContents drift from the paper

Tag the exact commit the paper's numbers came from; the Reproducibility Committee may rerun it long after your cluster allocation expired.

Final-pass checklist

text
[ ] Current volume template, unmodified, correct running heads
[ ] Page budget still holds after final author block and acknowledgements
[ ] PDF/A validation passes; all fonts embedded (check figures separately)
[ ] No figure text below scriptsize at print size
[ ] Artifact URL live, tagged, and matching the measured version
[ ] Availability statement present; badge criteria reviewed
[ ] File naming + copyright form per the acceptance email
[ ] Camera-ready numbers identical to accepted-version numbers, or every
    change listed for the editors

Conference leg

Acceptance into the volume earns presentation at the matching conference: Vol 19 papers accepted by June 15, 2026 present at VLDB 2026 in Boston (Aug 31 - Sep 4, 2026); Vol 20 feeds VLDB 2027 in Athens (Aug 23-27, 2027); late acceptances roll to the next conference. Registration and the exact presentation obligation are cycle-specific — 待核实 against the conference site, and budget travel early since the conference lands months after publication.

What goes wrong here

  • Silent renumbering: results edited "for polish" after acceptance without telling the editors — a trust violation at a venue that reruns artifacts.
  • The artifact URL pointing at a moving branch, so the badge certifies code the paper never used.
  • PDF/A failures discovered by the proceedings team on issue-assembly week.
