prepare-camera-ready

prepare-camera-ready is a skill for Claude Code from ShaishavMaisuria/research-paper-lifecycle-skills. It costs 223 tokens per session (2,582 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided checklist for preparing an accepted research paper’s final publication files, often called the camera-ready version.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps navigate ACM eRights and TAPS, IEEE PDF eXpress and copyright forms, OpenReview submissions, ORCID details, DOI blocks, and final uploads.
Why use it?
The final submission may involve venue-specific forms, identifiers, page rules, file names, and upload systems that are easy to miss. It organizes those requirements and checks the source for common publication blockers.

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

prepare-camera-ready 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/camera_ready_checklist.py, scripts/check_camera_ready.py, scripts/venue_profile.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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 177 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Prepare Camera-Ready

Walk an accepted paper through the camera-ready pipeline. The rules are tribal knowledge split across two big rails (ACM: eRights → ORCID → rights/DOI block → TAPS; IEEE: PDF eXpress → file naming → eCF → registration) plus the OpenReview-direct rail used by ML venues, and they change every cycle. This skill turns the venue profile into an ordered checklist, walks each form and upload with the user, and lints the final source for the mistakes that delay or block publication — but the user does every irreversible click.

When to use

  • "My paper was accepted at SIGSPATIAL / ICDE / NeurIPS — what now?"
  • "Help me with the camera-ready / final version."
  • "What is this eRights email / TAPS link / PDF eXpress conference ID / eCF?"
  • "Do all my coauthors really need ORCIDs?" / "Where does the DOI block go?"
  • "How many pages do I get for the camera-ready?" / "How do I de-anonymize?"
  • After write-rebuttal succeeds; before make-slides / talk prep.

Inputs

  1. The acceptance email (ask the user to paste the camera-ready instructions from it — they override everything else).
  2. The venue profile: venues/conferences/<venue>-<year>.yml (schema in venues/schema.yml; family files supply rail defaults). If missing, create one with parse-cfp first.
  3. The final .tex source (the file with \documentclass) once editing starts; a compiled .log/.pdf next to it enables the page-count check.

Process

  1. Resolve the rail and generate the checklist. Find the profile, ask which track the paper was accepted to (camera-ready deadlines and page limits differ per track), then run:

    python3 scripts/camera_ready_checklist.py venues/conferences/<venue>-<year>.yml --track "<track>"
    

    It merges the family profile, resolves the rail (acm-taps, ieee-pdfexpress, openreview-direct, or other), and prints the ordered steps, the venue-specific requirements, the deadline, and the extra-page rule. --json for machine-readable output.

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.
