soda-submission
Use when preparing or auditing a SODA (ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms) submission — the no-page-limit full-version norm, the title-page abstract, 11-point single-column letter format, lightweight double-blind rules, HotCRP entry, and the July AoE deadline with its summary-rejection triggers.

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.
# SODA Submission Anchor cycle: SODA 2027, the ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms in Philadelphia, January 24-27, 2027, jointly sponsored by the SIAM Activity Group on Discrete Mathematics and ACM SIGACT. Facts below were checked 2026-07-08 against the SIAM SODA27 submission page (read via search rendering; `siam.org` refused direct fetches) and `soda27.hotcrp.com`. The 2027 paper deadline is **July 9, 2026, anywhere on Earth** — if you are reading this in early July 2026, the clock is already inside the final week. Re-verify every number on the live SIAM page for any later cycle. ## Submit the full version — SODA means it SODA imposes **no page limit** and the CFP encourages authors to submit the full version of the paper. This inverts the instinct trained by page-capped venues: - Do not amputate proofs to look "conference-length." A SODA submission missing a proof invites the referee to assume the gap is real. - The document still needs an act structure. Committee members triage hundreds of submissions; the ones they champion make the result and the technique graspable before page 5, with the complete proofs behind that front matter. - The title page carries the title plus
- Submit the full version — SODA means it
- Format floor (2027 wording)
- Lightweight double-blind, SODA flavor
- Prior and concurrent work constraints
- HotCRP mechanics
- The final 48 hours, hour-ordered
- Failure triage
- Output format

What does the soda-submission skill do?
Use when preparing or auditing a SODA (ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms) submission — the no-page-limit full-version norm, the title-page abstract, 11-point single-column letter format, lightweight double-blind rules, HotCRP entry, and the July AoE deadline with its summary-rejection triggers.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill soda-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 984 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.
