asplos-review-process

asplos-review-process is a skill for Claude Code from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. It costs 69 tokens per session (1,512 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to how ASPLOS reviews a paper, including an initial two-page screen, full double-blind review, an author response, and possible Accept, Major Revision, or Reject decisions. Double-blind review means reviewers and authors are kept anonymous to each other.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan the first two pages, prepare for full review, write the author response, and organize a revision and its change note.
Why use it?
It shows what reviewers read at each stage and where authors can still address problems. It also explains that a Major Revision is reviewed again as a submission rather than treated as an automatic acceptance.

About the project

Awesome Journal Skills is a collection of agent skill packs tailored to hundreds of academic journals across fields including economics, social science, medicine, science, and engineering. Researchers use the packs for tasks such as choosing topics, designing empirical strategies, preparing tables and figures, submitting papers, and responding to reviewers. The catalogue entries are the project's journal-specific skills and related plugins.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

asplos-review-process scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

ASPLOS Review Process

ASPLOS 2027 runs a staged pipeline that differs from every sibling venue in two places: an explicit rapid-review screen on the first two pages, and a Major Revision outcome with journal-like mechanics. Everything below is the 2027 cycle as verified 2026-07-08; stage design is re-decided per edition.

Stage map

Stage Who reads what Author leverage
Rapid review Committee members read pages 1-2 only, double-blind Total — you wrote those pages
Full review Full paper, double-blind, multiple reviewers High before submission, zero during
Author response Reviews + your rebuttal (reading expectation ≈ 800 words) Moderate — corrections and answers land
Decision Accept / Major Revision / Reject None
Revision re-review Revised paper + change note, judged as a submission High — the requirements are written down

What the rapid review is for — in the CFP's own framing

The 2027 CFP models the screen on early triage at high-impact journals: most submissions may not advance past it, and the point is to concentrate expert reviewer effort on papers where the committee can review with high confidence. Two consequences for authors:

  • The screen prioritizes work at the architecture-languages-OS intersection. A paper that reads like a pure single-community result in its first two pages is the archetypal rapid casualty, whatever its page-7 content.
  • Rapid rejection is cheap and fast for the PC but carries little diagnostic signal for you beyond "the first two pages did not make the case." Re-aim the framing before re-aiming the venue.

Full review: what systems-intersection reviewers probe

A useful red-team script — have a non-author run it against the submitted PDF:

R1  Is the claimed coupling real? Try to mentally re-implement each half
    without the other; if either succeeds, expect a "why not <single venue>?"
R2  Is the baseline the strongest deployed alternative, tuned, on the same
    platform? Find one stronger baseline the paper skipped.
R3  Does the evidence class match the claim (silicon vs FPGA vs simulator)?
    Flag any latency/energy claim resting on an unvalidated model.
R4  Attribution: is the win traced to the mechanism via ablation, or asserted?
R5  Generality: does anything survive a workload/technology parameter change?
R6  Are the citation and formatting rules met? (Reviewers do notice.)

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
