Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# ACL Submission Run this audit before uploading to an ACL Rolling Review (ARR) cycle on OpenReview. ACL papers are not submitted to the conference directly: they enter an ARR cycle, collect reviews and a meta-review, and are later *committed* to ACL. Reopen the current ARR CFP at aclrollingreview.org/cfp and the target conference's call before trusting any number below. ## Two-step reality check - Confirm which ARR cycles feed your target ACL edition. ACL 2026 accepted work from the October 2025 and January 2026 cycles; committing requires a complete review package, so the last eligible cycle is earlier than the conference date suggests. - The ARR deadline is the hard one. Commitment is a separate, later form with its own deadline (March 14, 2026 for ACL 2026) — see `acl-workflow` for the calendar. - All ARR deadlines run 11:59 pm UTC-12 (anywhere on Earth). ## Format gate - Long papers: up to 8 content pages. Short papers: up to 4. Both get unlimited pages for references, plus unlimited space after the conclusion for the **required Limitations section** and an optional ethics statement. - A missing Limitations section or overlength content is an explicit desk-reject condition und

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill acl-submission --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.
