parse-cfp

parse-cfp is a skill for Claude Code from ShaishavMaisuria/research-paper-lifecycle-skills. It costs 155 tokens per session (2,129 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool that turns a conference Call for Papers, or CFP, into a structured record of submission requirements. A CFP is the public announcement explaining what a conference accepts and how to submit it.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a verified venue-and-year profile for later checks, paper tailoring, rebuttals, camera-ready preparation, or venue selection.
Why use it?
It reduces the need to manually track changing deadlines, page limits, review rules, templates, and policies across conference websites.

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

parse-cfp 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/fetch_cfp.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 171 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Parse CFP

Turn a live Call for Papers into the machine-readable venue profile that the rest of this repo runs on. Output is a venues/conferences/<venue>-<year>.yml file conforming to venues/schema.yml, plus a human-readable requirements card. Downstream consumers: preflight-check, tailor-to-venue, write-rebuttal, prepare-camera-ready, select-venue.

When to use

  • The user pastes a CFP, author-guidelines, or submission-instructions URL.
  • "What are the requirements / deadlines / page limits for VENUE YEAR?"
  • A profile in venues/conferences/ is missing or a year out of date.

Inputs

  • A CFP URL. If the user only names a venue, check venues/conferences/<venue>-<year>.yml for a cfp_url first; an older year's profile usually links the venue website where the new CFP lives.
  • venues/schema.yml — read it before writing the profile; it defines every field and the mandatory verified: provenance block.
  • The matching venues/families/<family>.yml for family-level defaults.
  • CONTACT_EMAIL env var (used in the polite fetch User-Agent; the script prompts if unset).

Process

  1. Scope one venue + one year. Read venues/schema.yml. If a profile for this venue-year already exists, treat it as hints to re-verify, never as ground truth.

  2. Fetch the CFP page. Run:

    python3 scripts/fetch_cfp.py "<cfp-url>"
    

    The script fetches ONE page per invocation, rate-limits to 1 request/second per host, backs off exponentially on HTTP 429, caches under .cache/ (gitignored) for 24h, and prints readable text with link targets as [url]. It exits nonzero with a clear message on failure. Then fetch the handful of follow-up pages you actually need — per-track submission pages, the deadlines page, the camera-ready/author-kit page — one invocation each, never a site crawl.

    • Exit code 3 = non-HTML content (a PDF CFP, a JSON API response); the body is saved under .cache/ — read that file directly.
    • "very little text extracted" warning = JavaScript-rendered page; ask the user to paste the page text and mark the profile needs-verification. Never fill gaps from memory.

Files

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
