What it does

Vldb Workflow is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when planning a VLDB project on the PVLDB rolling calendar, covering month-picking strategy, the volume-to-conference mapping and acceptance cutoff, budgeting a possible three-month revision, coordinating author caps across a group, and backward planning from the 25th-abstract / 1st-paper rhythm.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 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 Business, Finance & HR, covering Budgeting and forecasting and Calendar and scheduling. 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

  • Planning a VLDB project on the PVLDB rolling calendar
  • Covering month-picking strategy
  • The volume-to-conference mapping and acceptance cutoff
  • Budgeting a possible three-month revision

Example prompts

  • “/vldb-workflow”

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 Workflow loads about 951 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 395 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
~951

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.

Use when planning a VLDB project on the PVLDB rolling calendar, covering month-picking strategy, the volume-to-conference mapping and acceptance cutoff, budgeting a possible three-month revision, coordinating author caps across a group, and backward planning from the 25th-abstract / 1st-paper rhythm.

VLDB Workflow

Use this as the project-management layer. PVLDB's defining freedom — a deadline every month — is also its trap: with no scarcity forcing quality, the calendar discipline must come from you.

Know your volume geometry first

On 2026-07-08 the live volume is Vol 20: deadlines April 1, 2026 through March 1, 2027, feeding VLDB 2027 (Athens, Aug 23-27, 2027). Vol 19 fed VLDB 2026 (Boston, Aug 31 - Sep 4, 2026) with a June 15, 2026 acceptance cutoff; acceptances after a cutoff roll to the next conference. Re-derive this geometry from the live guidelines whenever you plan — it resets every volume.

Month-picking, done as arithmetic

The right month is computed backward from what you want, not chosen by mood:

GoalComputation
Present at the volume's conferenceCutoff month − 1.5 months (review) − 3 months (possible revision) − 1.5 months (re-review) ⇒ submit roughly 6 months before the cutoff to keep the revision path open
Accept-or-nothing, no revision slackCutoff − 1.5 months, accepting that a revise verdict rolls you past it
No conference-year preferenceThe month your weakest experiment is actually fixed
Thesis or job-market dateDecision date needed + 1 month safety, then backward as above

The month itself carries no difficulty signal — the review board is standing and the bar is flat. What varies is your readiness.

One cycle, backward from the 1st

text
Day -21        go/no-go: evaluation complete? loss map measured?
Day -14        internal builder-review (a colleague reads as Reviewer 2)
Day -10        fixes from mock review; freeze the claim set
Day -6 (25th)  abstract registered in CMT — title and authors final
Day -5..-2     full-text polish, artifact tag, fairness ledger check
Day -1         PDF built on the volume template; local time of 5PM PT confirmed
Day 0 (1st)    submit hours early; Pacific afternoon, not local midnight

If the go/no-go fails, slide one month. That sentence is the whole advantage of this venue — use it instead of negotiating with your own evidence.

Revision bandwidth is a scheduling object

A revise verdict opens a three-month window that will collide with whatever else the group planned. Before submitting, name the two people who would own a revision and check their next quarter. A revision no one has time to execute converts positive signal into a rejection.

Group-level calendar management

  • Track every member's live submissions against the two-per-month and twelve-per-year caps in one shared sheet.
  • Stagger related papers across months so a shared infrastructure fix does not block two deadlines at once.
  • Log every cycle's dates the moment reviews arrive: decision on the ~15th, revision due date, expected issue. Rolling venues punish loose bookkeeping with silent misses.

Conference logistics tail

Publication precedes presentation by months. After acceptance: registration, visa lead time for the conference country (Greece for Vol 20's VLDB 2027), and speaker assignment — obligations and pricing are cycle-specific (待核实 on the conference site).
