Use when interpreting where an NDSS submission stands — the two-round pipeline inside each cycle, the early reject with Round-1 reviews, rebuttal and interactive discussion, the Accept / Minor Revision / Major Revision decision set, and the Ethics Review Board's role.

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

# NDSS Review Process Each NDSS cycle is a funnel with one public narrowing: Round 1 reads everything and ejects the bottom; Round 2 argues about the rest. Knowing which stage you are in — and what each stage can still change — prevents both wasted effort and missed leverage. ## The pipeline (2027 cycle structure, verified 2026-07-08) ```text submit ──▶ ROUND 1 (breadth read) │ ├─ early reject ──▶ Round-1 reviews released; cycle over for this paper; │ major-overlap resubmission barred within this │ symposium's other cycle │ └─ continue ──▶ ROUND 2 (depth read, more reviewers/discussion) │ rebuttal + interactive discussion with reviewers ▼ Accept │ Minor Revision │ Major Revision │ Reject ``` Dates for the fall cycle: early notification September 25, rebuttal and discussion October 8-10, final decision November 4, 2026. The summer cycle followed the same shape (June 12 / June 24-28 / July 22). ## What each outcome means | Outcome | Substance | Author obligation | | --- | --- | --- | | Accept | Paper in, Seoul slot earned | Camera-ready by Jan 6, 2027; consider artifact evaluation | | Minor Revision | Accepted contingent on a bounded fix-up judged satisfactory | Execute exactly the r

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