Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# ACL Camera Ready Use this after ACL (or Findings of ACL) acceptance. Camera-ready quality controls how the paper looks forever in the ACL Anthology, which is the permanent open-access record. For ACL 2026 the camera-ready deadline was April 19, 2026 — confirm the current edition's date in the acceptance email before planning anything. ## The extra page and what it is for - Accepted \*ACL papers traditionally receive one additional content page: long papers up to 9 pages, short papers up to 5. The page exists to address reviewer and meta-review comments, not to smuggle in a new contribution. - Spend it in priority order: fixes the meta-review asked for, clarifications reviewers requested, then de-anonymization overhead (author block, acknowledgements) which consumes real space. - References remain unlimited; the Limitations section remains **mandatory** in the camera-ready and still sits outside the page count. ## De-anonymization pass - Restore authors, affiliations, and acknowledgements; convert third-person self-citations ("Smith showed") back to natural first person where clearer. - Replace anonymous supplement links with the permanent public repository, dataset page, or model

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill acl-camera-ready --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
