A guide for preparing research papers for ICML, the International Conference on Machine Learning. It covers the conference’s paper template and submission requirements.

Use it to format an ICML paper, apply the correct LaTeX template, check citations and reviewer-facing quality, and prepare for submission.

It helps avoid formatting mistakes and missed submission checks when preparing an ICML paper.

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	$0.00038	$0.02541
Opus 5.5	$0.00015	$0.01016
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00008	$0.00508
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00254

Security

Grade A, and why

icml 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.

[SKILL: ICML PAPER FORMAT]

Activate when: user mentions ICML, International Conference on Machine Learning, or asks to use the ICML 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/icml2026/ (referred to as TEMPLATES_DIR below), targeting ICML 2026. Contents: icml2026.sty, icml2026.bst, example_paper.tex, fancyhdr.sty, algorithm.sty, algorithmic.sty.

Pre-step: Year Confirmation & Template Acquisition

This step MUST be completed before any scenario below.

Confirm the target year with the user (default: latest available year).
Check whether TEMPLATES_DIR exists and includes required files: icml2026.sty, icml2026.bst, example_paper.tex, fancyhdr.sty, algorithm.sty, algorithmic.sty.
Use local built-in template only when BOTH conditions hold:
- target year = 2026
- files in TEMPLATES_DIR are complete
If either condition fails (target year is not 2026 OR local template files are missing/incomplete):
- Inform the user local built-in template is unavailable or year-mismatched.
- Guide the user to download the correct Author Kit from:
  - Official website: https://icml.cc → target year → "Author Instructions" or "Submission Guidelines" → download Style Files .zip
  - Overleaf fallback: search "ICML [year]" on https://www.overleaf.com/latex/templates
- Unzip downloaded files directly into <PROJECT_CORE>.
- All subsequent steps must use downloaded year-specific filenames (e.g., icml2025.sty).
Filename substitution rule for all steps below:
- Treat icml2026 in commands/examples as a placeholder for the resolved package basename from the selected .sty file.
- Example: if the downloaded file is icml2025.sty, replace icml2026 with icml2025 everywhere (\\usepackage, .bst, copy commands, checklist 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.

icml is a skill published in the GitHub repository nanoAgentTeam/research-claw (138 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 38 tokens to every session and 2,541 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
