uist-submission
Use when performing the final pre-upload audit of a UIST paper in PCS — the abstract-then-paper deadline pair, 10-page/5-page two-column limits with desk-reject enforcement, anonymous acmart options, video-figure and supplementary uploads, the prior-work overlap rule, and deadline-week sequencing.

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.
# UIST Submission This is the audit to run in the final week before the Papers deadline. Numbers below are the verified 2026 cycle (checked 2026-07-08 via search renderings of `uist.acm.org/2026/`, direct fetch blocked): abstracts March 24, papers March 31, both 11:59 pm AoE. The 2026 deadline has passed — apply this skill to a 2027 submission only after re-reading that year's Author Guide, and expect the numbers to move. ## What PCS collects, and when UIST runs on PCS (Precision Conference Solutions): in the submission form, choose society "SIGCHI", conference "UIST 2026", track "UIST 2026 Papers". Two deadlines structure the week: 1. **Abstract deadline (one week out).** Title, abstract, author list, and metadata must exist in PCS. This gates reviewer assignment — a placeholder abstract that drifts from the final paper lands you with mismatched reviewers, the least fixable submission error. 2. **Paper deadline.** The PDF, the video figure, and all supplementary files. Everything reviewed arrives now; there is no later supplement slot. ## Format gate | Check | 2026 rule | Enforcement | |---|---|---| | Template | Two-column `acmart`, `\documentclass[sigconf,review,anonymous]{acmart

What does the uist-submission skill do?
Use when performing the final pre-upload audit of a UIST paper in PCS — the abstract-then-paper deadline pair, 10-page/5-page two-column limits with desk-reject enforcement, anonymous acmart options, video-figure and supplementary uploads, the prior-work overlap rule, and deadline-week sequencing.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill uist-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.
