iros-submission
Use when auditing an IROS paper for the PaperPlaza upload — author PINs and metadata, the content-page limit with references counted in, IEEE two-column format, the 2026 double-anonymous rule, the 60-second/10 MB video attachment and its own deadline, dual-submission traps shared with ICRA and RA-L, and return-without-review triggers.

# IROS Submission Final-gate audit for an IROS conference submission on PaperPlaza (`ras.papercept.net`), the shared RAS system that also runs ICRA, CASE, and RA-L. Everything here is anchored to the verified IROS 2026 cycle; the numbers move each edition because a new IEEE/RSJ committee resets them, so open the current year-site's call-for-papers page before trusting any value below. ## Hard limits (2026-cycle values — reverify each year) | Check | 2026 rule | Consequence if violated | |---|---|---| | Page count | Content-page limit with references and appendices counted *in* (2025 anchor: 6 + up to 2 paid) | Return without review or an unexpected page charge | | Format | IEEE two-column conference template, PDF only, file up to 6 MB | Compliance failure at upload | | Anonymity | Double-anonymous (2026): no authors/affiliations in the PDF; full list in PaperPlaza metadata | Administrative rejection | | Video attachment | ≤ 60 seconds, ≤ 10 MB, mpg/mpeg/mp4 | Rejected by the upload form | | Video deadline | Its own date, a few days after the paper (2026: March 5) | No video on record | | Paper deadline | Per the CFP's stated zone — convert, do not assume AoE | Closed portal | The t

What does the iros-submission skill do?

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