What it does

Aistats Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting AISTATS author responses or author-reviewer discussion replies under OpenReview, covering text-only discussion, no-link guidance, no revised-paper upload, anonymity requirements, statistician-reviewer pushback patterns, and decision-focused clarification strategy for theory-plus-experiments papers.

Its SKILL.md is about 980 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Research & Science. The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. | 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Drafting AISTATS author responses
  • Author-reviewer discussion replies under OpenReview
  • Covering text-only discussion
  • No-link guidance

Example prompts

  • “/aistats-author-response”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. State the decision-critical correction or concession.
  2. Point to exact submitted evidence.
  3. Explain the statistical or theoretical consequence.
  4. Promise a camera-ready wording fix only if it does not add unsupported new claims.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Aistats Author Response loads about 980 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 426 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~980

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

description
Use when drafting AISTATS author responses or author-reviewer discussion replies under OpenReview, covering text-only discussion, no-link guidance, no revised-paper upload, anonymity requirements, statistician-reviewer pushback patterns, and decision-focused clarification strategy for theory-plus-experiments papers.

AISTATS Author Response

Use this after AISTATS reviews are released. Reopen the current OpenReview instructions and author-discussion policy before drafting because response mechanics are cycle-specific.

Triage

  • Answer concerns that affect correctness, novelty, statistical validity, clarity, reproducibility, or fit for AISTATS.
  • Use existing submitted evidence: paper sections, appendices, supplementary material, theorem statements, experiments, checklist entries, and code/data descriptions.
  • Keep the reply anonymous. Do not reveal institution, authorship, grants, private URLs, or repository ownership.
  • Treat discussion as clarification, not revision. Do not depend on uploading a revised paper or new supplement unless current instructions explicitly allow it.
  • If current rules prohibit links, do not use URLs in the discussion. AISTATS 2026 author-reviewer discussion was text-only and links were not allowed.
  • Correct factual errors first, then address requests for missing comparisons, uncertainty estimates, proofs, or hyperparameters.

Drafting pattern

  1. State the decision-critical correction or concession.
  2. Point to exact submitted evidence.
  3. Explain the statistical or theoretical consequence.
  4. Promise a camera-ready wording fix only if it does not add unsupported new claims.

Statistician-reviewer pushback patterns

PushbackWhat it signalsAISTATS-ready fix
"Assumption A3 seems strong"The reviewer traced the proof chainPoint to where A3 is verified, weakened, or shown necessary; never dismiss it as standard without a citation
"The experiments violate the theorem conditions"Theory-experiment mismatch spottedIdentify which conclusions survive misspecification and cite the robustness simulation that shows it
"Observed rates do not match the bound"The reviewer compared empirical slopes against theoryReference the log-log plot, or explain the constant-dominated regime at the tested sample sizes
"Comparison with the classical statistical method is missing"Statistics-literature gapAnchor to the appendix comparison, or concede and scope a camera-ready clarification
Show full SKILL.md (147 more words)Show less

Response micro-example

Reviewer objection: the minimax claim hides its dependence on dimension d. Reply skeleton:

  1. Concede that the d-dependence appears only in the appendix constant.
  2. Quote the exact constant from Theorem 2 so the reviewer need not search.
  3. Note that the simulation at d = 100 in Figure 4 follows the predicted scaling.
  4. Offer one camera-ready sentence making the dependence explicit in the main text.

Discussion-phase calibration

  • One decision-critical point per reviewer beats exhaustive replies; AISTATS meta-reviewers read for whether the central statistical objection was actually resolved.
  • Never paste new theorem statements or fresh proofs into the discussion box; sketch the argument and anchor it in submitted material only.
  • Respond early in the window — AISTATS discussion periods are short and reviewers who reply once rarely reply twice.
  • Length and formatting norms vary by cycle; recheck the current discussion instructions before sending anything.
