pods-submission
Use when auditing an ACM PODS research submission for EasyChair readiness, covering the chosen cycle's abstract-then-paper deadlines, the acmsmall[review,anonymous] format and 15-page budget, the at-submission proof appendix, lightweight double-anonymity, the declared conflicts of interest, PACMMOD-track publication, and desk-risk triage before the AoE cutoff.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# PODS Submission Run this audit before uploading to the PODS EasyChair site. PODS research papers are published in the **PACMMOD PODS track** and presented at the symposium, and the review is **lightweight double-anonymous** with a proof appendix that ships with the submission. Every number below was read from the PODS 2026/2027 calls on 2026-07-09 via search renderings of the `sigmod.org` PODS pages (see `resources/official-source-map.md`); treat them as a one-cycle snapshot and reopen the live call first. ## Pick the cycle, then the two-step deadline PODS runs **multiple cycles per year**; choose the cycle whose paper deadline your proofs will actually be complete for. Within a cycle there are two steps, both AoE: - **Abstract (and COI) registration** locks title, abstract, authors, and the declared conflicts of interest about a week early (PODS 2026 Cycle 1: 3 Jun 2025; Cycle 2: 3 Dec 2025). Miss it and the system will not accept the PDF. - **Full paper submission** uploads the anonymized PDF (PODS 2026 Cycle 1: 10 Jun 2025; Cycle 2: 10 Dec 2025). As of 2026-07-09 the live next deadline is **PODS 2027 Cycle 2: abstract+COI 10 Oct 2026, paper 17 Oct 2026**. Register with the *re

What does the pods-submission skill do?
Use when auditing an ACM PODS research submission for EasyChair readiness, covering the chosen cycle's abstract-then-paper deadlines, the acmsmall[review,anonymous] format and 15-page budget, the at-submission proof appendix, lightweight double-anonymity, the declared conflicts of interest, PACMMOD-track publication, and desk-risk triage before the AoE cutoff.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill pods-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.
