colt-workflow
Use when planning a COLT (Conference on Learning Theory) submission calendar backward from the single AoE paper deadline — proof-completion and verification milestones, writing and appendix-assembly passes, CMT logistics, the rebuttal window, decision aftermath, and PMLR camera-ready with conference presentation in early summer.

# COLT Workflow Use this as the project-management layer for a COLT paper. Anchor everything to the live timetable: for the 39th edition the CFP (checked 2026-07-08) set one submission deadline — February 4, 2026, Anywhere on Earth, via CMT — for a conference running June 29 to July 3, 2026 in San Diego. Notification and camera-ready dates were not on the checked pages (待核实); take them from the CFP and acceptance email of your cycle. ## Stage map - **Fit decision**: confirm the contribution is a theorem a learning theorist wants (see `colt-topic-selection`); if the result is 80% proved, the clock question is whether the remaining 20% is verification or invention — only the first is schedulable. - **Result freeze**: theorem statements stop moving. At COLT this is the single most important date you control, because every downstream artifact (proof appendix, overviews, comparisons) quotes the statements. - **Verification**: independent re-derivation of every load-bearing proof (`colt-reproducibility`). Schedule it as real work with an owner per theorem — it finds bugs at a rate authors never want to believe. - **Writing**: body-first is a mistake here; write the appendix proofs first,

What does the colt-workflow skill do?

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