What it does

Vldb Submission is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when auditing a PVLDB submission before a monthly deadline, covering the mandatory abstract on the 25th, the CMT window, the 1st-of-month 5:00 PM Pacific cutoff, category and page-budget choice, single-blind cover-page requirements, the per-month and per-year author caps, and desk-reject hazards specific to VLDB.

Its SKILL.md is about 1000 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • Auditing a PVLDB submission before a monthly deadline
  • Covering the mandatory abstract on the 25th
  • The 1st-of-month 5:00 PM Pacific cutoff
  • Category and page-budget choice

Example prompts

  • “/vldb-submission”

Workflow steps

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

  1. 20th of the prior month — CMT opens for the cycle.
  2. 25th of the prior month — mandatory abstract (title, authors, abstract,
  3. 1st of the month, 5:00 PM Pacific Time — full paper due. This is a

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 Submission loads about 998 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 415 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~998

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 auditing a PVLDB submission before a monthly deadline, covering the mandatory abstract on the 25th, the CMT window, the 1st-of-month 5:00 PM Pacific cutoff, category and page-budget choice, single-blind cover-page requirements, the per-month and per-year author caps, and desk-reject hazards specific to VLDB.

VLDB Submission

Run this in the two weeks before a PVLDB monthly deadline. VLDB research papers enter through PVLDB (Proceedings of the VLDB Endowment), and the volume's own guidelines page — not the conference site's summary — is the governing document. Everything dated below was checked 2026-07-08; reopen the live volume page first.

The three clocks of one deadline

PVLDB splits a single submission across three dates, and missing the first one kills the cycle quietly:

  1. 20th of the prior month — CMT opens for the cycle.
  2. 25th of the prior month — mandatory abstract (title, authors, abstract, subject areas) registered in CMT. No abstract, no paper slot.
  3. 1st of the month, 5:00 PM Pacific Time — full paper due. This is a Pacific-clock deadline, not AoE; for most of the world it lands in the middle of the night before the date your calendar shows. No extensions.

Category and budget check

Pick the category deliberately — reviewers calibrate expectations to it:

Category (VLDB 2026 cycle)Body budgetWhat reviewers expect
Regular Research12 pp + refsNew technique with systems evidence
Experiment, Analysis & Benchmark12 pp + refsRigorous study; reproducibility evaluation is mandatory
Scalable Data Science8 pp + refsData-science pipeline at scale, practice-forward
Vision6 pp + refsAgenda-setting argument, less evidence

References are uncapped, but appendices and acknowledgements count inside the budget. Category continuation and budgets for the volume you target: confirm on the live page (待核实 for Vol 20 beyond the sources in the source map).

Identity and caps

  • PVLDB review is single-blind: author names and affiliations belong on the paper. Do not strip them the way SIGMOD or ML venues require — an anonymous PVLDB submission is a formatting error, not a virtue. Reconfirm the wording on the live guidelines before submission.
  • Count coauthor load before promising a submission: Vol 20 caps each author at two papers per month and twelve per year.
  • Declare conflicts accurately in CMT; the review board assignment runs on them.

Pre-deadline audit sequence

text
[ ] Live volume identified (Vol 20 on 2026-07-08) and its guidelines reopened
[ ] Abstract registered in CMT before the 25th, title/author list final
[ ] Category chosen; page budget measured with appendix included
[ ] Volume template applied unmodified; fonts legible at print size
[ ] Author names and affiliations present (single-blind), conflicts declared
[ ] Caps checked for every author, not just the lead
[ ] Artifact URL decided: include now or forfeit the availability signal
[ ] Deadline converted to your local time from 5:00 PM PT on the 1st

What draws a desk rejection here

  • Overrunning the category budget or squeezing with template edits.
  • Submitting to a closed cycle because the abstract step was missed.
  • A cover page missing authors, or CMT metadata contradicting the PDF.
  • Blowing an author's cap — the excess paper, not the earliest, is at risk.

One month's miss costs exactly one month — the next cycle opens on the 20th. Submitting a half-ready paper to "make this month" wastes a cap slot and burns the one revision the process will ever offer.
