SIGIR is an annual single-cycle venue with a distinctive rhythm: recent editions put the full-paper deadline in mid-January (2025: abstract Jan 16, paper Jan 23; 2026 trackers reported Jan 15/22 — exact dates 待核实 on the current Key Dates page), notification in early spring, camera-ready in late April (Apr 29, 2026 verified for Resources/LRE), and the conference in July (2026: July 20-24, Melbourne). Secondary tracks stagger a few weeks behind the full-paper dates. Plan backward from the dates you verify, and treat every date in this file as a pattern anchor, not a promise.
Sigir Workflow is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the testing sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/sigir-workflow/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when planning a SIGIR project calendar — backward-planning from the January-pattern abstract/paper deadlines to the July conference, sequencing evidence freeze, significance testing, and anonymization, coordinating multi-track decisions, and wiring the SIGIR/ECIR/CIKM/WSDM/SIGIR-AP fallback calendar into one pipeline.
The Sigir Workflow Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 168,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
