CCF Submission Checker

Family File Contract

Before file work, reuse canonical paths and one task/artifact working directory; default to project-root ccfa-workfiles/<purpose>/<artifact-id>/. Update in place, preserve inputs, and use UTF-8 with Chinese-text checks. Apply artifact-contracts.md for naming, ownership, and task-created cleanup; handoffs inherit these paths.

Collaboration Contract

Before specialist execution, read and apply ccf-humanization first, then ccf-common. At every handoff, reuse their applicable active rules or refresh missing/changed ones. Both preflights are required even without prose; detailed editing, experiment, and maintenance modes run only when relevant.

Integrate necessary specialist contributions under one owner; reuse valid prerequisites and verify affected results. Follow the cooperation routes without duplicate reports.

Core Rule

Treat submission as a build, venue-policy, page-budget, and artifact-readiness gate. Use local venue guides for expected rules, then require official-policy freshness for final decisions. Do not rewrite paper content.

Modes

• venue-format: template, page limit, anonymity, author block, supplementary and camera-ready rules.
• package-check: LaTeX/PDF build, metadata, fonts, page count, file structure, and submission checklist.
• artifact: code/data/model release plan, environment, seeds, hardware, licenses, artifact README, and reproducibility appendix.
• full: venue + package + artifact.

Workflow

1. Identify venue/year/track, submission mode, project directory, TeX/PDF files, supplementary/artifact files, and deadline pressure.
2. Read ccfa.yaml when available. If absent, proceed with supplied files and state that project-state tracking is unavailable.
3. For venue questions, read ../ccf-paper-writer/references/venue-guides/index.md and the specific venue guide before checking official freshness.
4. For package checks, inspect the actual TeX/PDF/build output, page accounting for the exact venue/year/track, anonymity, fonts, metadata, references, and applicable required forms. For ICLR 2027, apply the matched guide's year-specific template, stage-specific page budget, and AI-use statement/form checks; unconfirmed usage facts remain not verified. Read logs and affected pages; do not infer a successful build from file presence.
5. For artifact checks, build a reproducibility checklist: code, data, models, environment, seeds, hardware, license, access restrictions, and README.
6. Hand off to ccf-paper-writer for text/page rewrites: compression when over limit, substantive expansion when actual explanation is missing, and normal polishing when within budget. Hand off to ccf-experiment-designer for missing reproducibility experiments, ccf-visual-composer for figure/table float order, caption placement, font, clipping, palette, or visual readability fixes, and ccf-rebuttal-writer for post-review response packaging.

Check Scope

Follow ../ccf-common/references/handoff-modes.md and ../ccf-common/references/task-modes.md. Run checks relevant to the requested mode and actual artifacts. Distinguish pass, fail, not applicable, and not verified; missing tools do not imply passing or failure. Record the official rule URL and the date checked. Reuse the project build configuration and place generated logs/previews in the established or shared task build directory. Update the canonical readiness report in place and distinguish old PDFs from successful current builds. Recheck only affected build surfaces after a fix. Underfilling a page budget alone is not a venue violation. Do not upload or submit files merely because a readiness check was requested.
