preflight-check
From the author
Deterministic desk-reject preflight linter for LaTeX paper submissions. Use it when a researcher asks "is my paper ready to submit", or mentions preflight, desk reject, submission check, page limit, anonymization, double-blind, missing checklist, or format/template compliance for a conference (NeurIPS, ICML, CHI, SIGSPATIAL, SIGMOD, ICDE, CVPR, LNCS...). Lints the .tex source against a machine-readable venue profile for documentclass and style-file options, margin/template tampering (geometry, savetrees, spacing hacks), anonymization leaks (author block, acknowledgments, repo links, first-person self-citations, \thanks, pdfauthor), required sections (NeurIPS checklist, ICML impact statement, AI-use acknowledgement, COI, CCS concepts/keywords), abstract length, keywords format, and page-limit risk. Every finding is reported with file:line. Runs bundled stdlib-only Python scripts; advisory only, never submits anything.

- iclr-submissionbrycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-SkillsUse when auditing an ICLR main-conference submission for OpenReview readiness, double-blind anonymity, page limits, reciprocal reviewing, LLM-use disclosure, dual-submission policy, supplementary material, and desk-reject risk.Other★ 1.3K
- light-typesettingLight0305/Light-skillsBuild and preflight submission-ready LaTeX/PDF artifacts for Light stage 11. Use when receiving a paper-writing manuscript, figure delivery, citation delivery.json/references.bib/citekey-audit.json, or a venue/template profile; when selecting pdfLaTeX/XeLaTeX/LuaLaTeX and BibTeX/Biber; when diagnosing LaTeX errors or unresolved references; when checking page limits, double-blind identity, PDF metadata, template, page box, embedded fonts, TODOs, figures, tables, labels and citations; or when producing a reproducible compile manifest, PDF, compliance report, failure bundle and venue-matching handoff. Distinguishes PASS, manuscript ERROR, toolchain UNAVAILABLE and convergence UNRESOLVED without redoing citation authenticity or figure scientific QA.Testing★ 833
- icdm-submissionbrycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-SkillsUse when auditing an ICDM (IEEE International Conference on Data Mining) submission for readiness, covering Research-vs-Applied track choice and its anonymity regime, the triple-blind sweep, the 10-page IEEE all-inclusive cap, the single June deadline, in-paper artifact references, and the desk-level triggers that get an ICDM paper rejected without review.Science★ 1.3K
- anonymize-paperShaishavMaisuria/research-paper-lifecycle-skillsDeep anonymization sweep for double-blind paper submissions, plus clean de-anonymization for camera-ready. Use when a researcher says "anonymize my paper", "double-blind check", "blind this submission", "remove author names", "did I leak my identity" — or, after acceptance, "de-anonymize" / "restore authors for camera-ready". Sweeps the whole leak surface, \author/\affiliation/\email/\orcid/\thanks, acknowledgments and grant numbers, hyperref pdfauthor and compiled-PDF metadata, first-person self-citations (rewritten to third person), GitHub/dataset/homepage links vs anonymized mirrors, LaTeX comments, .bib annotations, home-directory paths, and supplementary material (.git dirs, notebooks, LICENSE/AUTHORS files). Bundles a stdlib-only scanner (scan_anonymization.py, check ids shared with preflight-check) and a reversible-edit workflow (toggle + manifest) so every change is cleanly undone at camera-ready. Advisory only; never submits anything.Science★ 58
- acl-submissionbrycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-SkillsUse when auditing an ACL submission before an ACL Rolling Review cycle deadline, covering long/short paper page budgets, the mandatory Limitations section, Responsible NLP checklist, anonymized PDFs and supplements, preprint declarations, dual-submission rules, resubmission linking, and ARR desk-reject triggers on OpenReview.Science★ 1.3K
- paper-review-litescdenney/open-science-skillsProvides a pre-submission manuscript audit covering argument, numerical consistency, references and DOIs, writing, figures, CONSORT flow, pre-registration, and the replication archive. Use before paper submission or when a draft needs an adversarial, quote-grounded review with a journal-readiness checklist. Add `--codex` to run the specification independently on Claude and Codex, GPT-6 Astra, and cross-check findings.Science★ 69
