Individual skill
focs-workflow
Use when planning a FOCS (IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science) cycle end to end — working backward from the April 1 deadline, managing the live post-submission summer of the 2026 cycle, coordinating with the STOC beat, preparing the November conference, and scheduling a FOCS 2027 attempt.

# FOCS Workflow
The FOCS year is anchored in spring: the 2026 cycle closed submissions on
Wednesday, April 1, 2026, 5:00 PM EDT (21:00 UTC) on `focs26.hotcrp.com`, for a
conference in New York on November 8–11, 2026 (67th edition, checked
2026-07-08). As of that check date the cycle is in its post-submission phase:
papers are with the program committee, notification and camera-ready dates were
not yet published (待核实), and the workshop-proposal window is open. This
skill manages both the live phases and the planning of the next attempt.
