A paper-formatting guide for ACL-family research venues, including ACL, EMNLP, and NAACL. It helps set up, move to, or fix the LaTeX templates used for these conferences and review tracks.

Use it when preparing or correcting an ACL-family paper, checking citations and presentation, or moving a paper between the listed venues.

It reduces mistakes when adapting a research paper to a venue’s required template, page limits, and submission rules.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00050	$0.02347
Opus 5.5	$0.00020	$0.00939
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00010	$0.00469
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00235

Security

Grade A, and why

acl-venues 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 2mo 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 — 212 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

[SKILL: ACL-FAMILY VENUE PAPER FORMAT]

Activate when: user mentions ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, EACL, AACL, COLING, ARR, Findings of ACL, or asks to use/fix any *ACL-series template.

Execution Protocol

After this skill is activated, select the matching scenario based on user intent.

Shared Common Workflow

Before venue-specific template steps, also load and follow ml-paper-writing skill.

At minimum, apply these shared references:

writing-guide.md (narrative and clarity)
citation-workflow.md (verified citations; no hallucinations)
reviewer-guidelines.md (reviewer-facing quality checks)
checklists.md (pre-submission gates)

Built-in template: templates/acl/ (referred to as TEMPLATES_DIR below). Contents: acl.sty, acl_latex.tex, acl_natbib.bst, custom.bib, anthology.bib.txt, formatting.md.

One template for all ACL-family venues: ACL, EMNLP, NAACL, EACL, AACL, COLING, ARR, and Findings generally share the same acl.sty + acl_natbib.bst style system; venue differences are mainly page limits and policy text.

Pre-step: Venue/Year/Track Confirmation & Template Source

This step MUST be completed before any scenario below.

Confirm target venue and year (ACL/EMNLP/NAACL/EACL/AACL/COLING/ARR/Findings), plus paper type (long/short) and stage (review/final). Default to latest available year if user does not specify.
Check whether local TEMPLATES_DIR exists and includes required files: acl.sty, acl_natbib.bst, acl_latex.tex.
Use local built-in template only when BOTH conditions hold:
- local files in TEMPLATES_DIR are complete
- target venue/year does not require a different package than acl.sty
If either condition fails (local files missing/incomplete OR user asks for strict current-year kit), follow this download workflow exactly:
- Go to official ACLPUB portal: https://acl-org.github.io/ACLPUB/
- Open the target venue's CFP/submission page and find "Style Files", "Author Kit", or "Submission Instructions"
- Download the official style zip for the target year
- If the venue page is unclear, use fallback sources:
  - GitHub zip: https://github.com/acl-org/acl-style-files/archive/refs/heads/master.zip
  - Overleaf template: https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates/association-for-computational-linguistics-acl-conference/jvxskxpnznfj
- Unzip downloaded files directly into <PROJECT_CORE>.
- Verify required files exist (acl.sty, acl_natbib.bst, sample .tex)
- Continue all remaining steps using filenames from the downloaded kit if they differ
Filename substitution rule for all steps below:
- Treat acl / acl_natbib in commands/examples as defaults.
- If the downloaded kit uses different basenames, replace them consistently in \\usepackage, \\bibliographystyle, copy commands, and checks.

Changes

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.
