Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# ICRA Camera-Ready Acceptance email to Xplore entry is a five-week administrative gauntlet (2026 cycle: notification Jan 31, final upload Mar 6). Errors here are permanent — the camera-ready is what IEEE Xplore archives forever — and some steps (copyright, registration) can block publication outright. Work the checklist, not vibes; and reverify every number on the current year's final-submission instructions page. ## The page-geometry surprise The 2026 final limit was **8 pages total, including references and everything else** — a different shape from the submission's 6-content + 2-reference split. Consequences: - A submission using its full 6+2 arrives at camera-ready already at the ceiling; every reviewer-requested addition must displace something. - Long bibliographies now compete with content — prune duplicate ICRA/RA-L citations (`icra-related-work`) before cutting analysis. - No overlength purchase was offered in the 2026 ICRA instructions; do not assume the RA-L extra-page fee model (USD 175/page there) applies to the conference — different rules, verify each. ## Submission vs final: what changes shape | Dimension | At submission (2026) | At camera-ready (2026) | |---|---|-

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