ccs-workflow

ccs-workflow is a skill for Claude Code from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. It costs 67 tokens per session (976 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A project timeline for submitting a research paper to ACM CCS, a computer-security conference. It covers venue choice, deadlines, review, rebuttal, notification, artifact evaluation, final publication files, and presentation.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to choose a submission cycle, schedule writing and experiments, prepare the rebuttal, plan artifact evaluation, and track camera-ready and presentation work.
Why use it?
It turns CCS's two submission cycles into a schedule that can be planned backwards from each deadline. It also highlights that a paper normally enters only one cycle and that dates must be checked for the current year.

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

ccs-workflow 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 12d ago.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

CCS Workflow

Use this as the project-management skill for a CCS submission. CCS is a conference, not a journal: it has no editor-in-chief and no article-processing charge. The rotating leadership is the per-edition General Chairs and Program Co-Chairs (CCS 2026 Program Co-Chairs: Véronique Cortier and Zhiqiang Lin, reported 2026-07-08; verify against the organizing-committee page). Replace every date below with the current cycle's HotCRP deadlines and work backward.

The dual-deadline cycle

CCS runs two review cycles per year into one conference. A paper enters one cycle only; work rejected in the first cycle may not be resubmitted (even revised) to the second cycle of the same year. Pick the cycle from readiness, not hope — a thin first-cycle submission burns the year at this venue.

  • CCS 2026 (The Hague, Netherlands, Nov 15-19, 2026) Cycle A: abstract registration Jan 7, full paper Jan 14, rebuttal Mar 17-20, notification Apr 9, 2026 (verify).
  • CCS 2026 Cycle B: abstract registration Apr 22, full paper Apr 29, rebuttal Jun 29-Jul 1, notification Jul 17, 2026 (verify). Camera-ready reported Aug 21, 2026.
  • Both 2026 deadlines have passed as of 2026-07-08; treat them as a template and read the CCS 2027 CFP when posted (CCS 2027 host city was still under steering-committee selection).

Milestones

  • Venue fit: confirm the contribution is a broad security result for the SIGSAC PC.
  • Evidence lock: freeze threat model, attack/defense implementation, adaptive evaluation, measurement validation, and the ethics/disclosure posture.
  • Abstract registration: mandatory title, authors, abstract, and topics in HotCRP before the registration deadline; no paper without a registered abstract.
  • Full-paper deadline: upload the anonymized 12-page ACM sigconf PDF plus appendices.
  • Rebuttal window: respond to reviews in the short author-response period.
  • Notification: accept, minor revision (revise within the cycle), or reject.
  • Artifact evaluation: submit artifacts after acceptance for ACM badges if you opt in.
  • Camera-ready and registration: ACM proceedings version, then in-person presentation.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
