What problem does it solve? Preparing a camera-ready paper after acceptance involves many easy-to-miss requirements: plagiarism thresholds, formatting rules, reference formatting, acknowledgements, and co-author coordination. This Skill walks researchers through Prof. Bingsheng He's (NUS) 6-step process so nothing critical is overlooked before the final submission is permanently archived. ## Core Features & Use Cases - 6-Step Process Guidance: Covers revising per reviewer comments, sending to all co-authors at least one week before deadline, iterating on feedback, running iThenticate plagiarism checks (under 20% similarity), submitting copyright, and notifying all co-authors. - Formatting and References Checklists: Checks orphans/widows, page limits, author de-anonymization, number formatting, expanding "et al." to full author lists, venue name consistency, and broken URLs. - Automated Checker Integration: Documents the 18 validations of the open-source CameraReadyChecker tool, including font embedding, PDF/A compliance, and AI-based grammar checks. - Use Case: After your SIGMOD paper is accepted, pass the paper file path to this Skill to receive a Camera-Ready Readiness Report listing formatting issues, reference problems, plagiarism risks, and a prioritized action list. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to review your accepted paper file against the camera-ready checklist, or request just the checklist for manual verification.
