Use when interpreting the ACM CHI Papers review pipeline — 1AC and 2AC roles, the A/ARR/RR/RRX/X recommendation scale, desk-reject and rubric-based assisted desk-reject screening, the revise-and-resubmit threshold, round-2 PC decisions — and what each stage means for authors.

# CHI Review Process CHI's Papers track runs a two-round, committee-anchored process that resembles a journal's revise-and-resubmit more than an ML conference's rebuttal. Mechanics below follow the CHI 2027 and CHI 2026 Papers Review Process pages and the CHI 2026 outcome reports (read 2026-07-08 via search renderings; the conference sites block direct automated fetching). ## Who touches your paper - **1AC** — the Associate Chair who manages your submission: screens it, recruits two external reviewers, writes the meta-review, and represents the paper at the PC meeting. The 1AC is your most important reader at CHI. - **2AC** — a second committee member who writes a full review like the externals. - **Two external reviewers** — recruited by the 1AC for topical expertise. - **Subcommittee chairs (SCs)** — run the subcommittee you designated, arbitrate desk rejects with the ACs, and chair the discussions. - **Papers Chairs / PC** — own the overall process and the final accept list. ## Two kinds of early rejection CHI screens before full review, and since the 2026 cycle this screening has teeth: 1. **Desk reject (DR):** format and compliance — wrong template, anonymization failure, unju

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