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.

  • Runs code

  • Credentials

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

Context cost

Cikm Author Response loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 749 words of instructions outside code blocks.

~1.6k

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.

Use when preparing author-side communication around CIKM reviews — drafting for a response window if the cycle offers one (unconfirmed for 2026), writing camera-ready revision notes that answer reviewer concerns, handling post-decision chair correspondence, and converting rejection reviews into a resubmission brief.

CIKM Author Response

CIKM's response mechanics are genuinely cycle-dependent: no official statement confirming or denying a 2026 rebuttal phase could be retrieved (source map, 2026-07-08, 待核实). This skill therefore covers all four author-side writing situations around CIKM reviews, with the no-window case treated as the default — because when there is no rebuttal, the reply to reviewers gets written anyway, just in different documents.

Situation map

SituationThe document you actually writeGoverning constraint
A response window opensAnonymous reply inside EasyChairAnnounced word/format rules; anonymity persists
No window, paper acceptedCamera-ready revision noteAddress concerns without exceeding accepted scope
No window, paper rejectedResubmission brief for the next venueHonest triage, no venue-blaming
Factual process errorConfidential note to PC chairsFacts only; never argue merit this way

If a window opens: the tri-lane reply

CIKM reviews arrive from up to three community lanes (cikm-review-process), so a good reply is organized by reviewer, not by theme — each lane's reviewer should find their own objection answered in their own vocabulary:

  1. Lead each reviewer block with the concern that most threatens their score, not the one easiest to rebut.
  2. Answer from submitted material — section, table, appendix, or the artifact the paper already cites. New results pasted into a reply carry no weight a reviewer is obliged to credit and can violate window rules; check the announcement.
  3. Concede real limits in one sentence and scope them ("holds for static graphs; streaming is future work") — the blended pool punishes evasion harder than limitation, because at least one reviewer is expert enough to see through it.
  4. Preserve anonymity end to end: no names, no identifying URLs, no "as our earlier system at [company]" slips. The double-blind regime does not lapse at review.

Micro-example: the mining-lane scalability objection

Reviewer: "Complexity analysis suggests quadratic blow-up on dense graphs; the experiments avoid this regime."

Reply skeleton: (a) confirm the reading is correct for worst-case density; (b) point to the submitted Table/appendix entry showing observed scaling on the densest tested graph; (c) state the density regime of the target application and that the claim is scoped to it; (d) offer a one-sentence camera-ready scope clarification. Four moves, no new experiments, no evasion.

No window, accepted: the revision note

The August 7 → August 20 camera-ready sprint (2026 dates) is where reviewer concerns get answered in practice. Build a concern → edit ledger: every substantive review point maps to a camera-ready change, a scoped-limitation sentence, or a reasoned no-change. Keep the ledger; if the proceedings process or a chair asks what changed, the answer is ready, and cikm-camera-ready consumes it directly.

No window, rejected: the resubmission brief

Write it within a week, while context is fresh:

  • Sort review points into: fix-with-evidence, fix-with-writing, disagree-with-reason.
  • Tag each point by reviewer lane — lane-clustered objections identify which community the paper failed, which drives the cikm-workflow fallback choice.
  • Draft the one paragraph a future reviewer at the next venue would need to see changed. If that paragraph cannot be written, the problem is the contribution, not the venue.

Tone calibration for a three-community room

CIKM's communities have different argument cultures — IR discussion leans protocol-precise, mining leans delta-and-numbers, KM/database leans systems-pragmatic — but one register works for all three: technical, specific, and unwounded. Practical rules:

  • Quote the reviewer's actual words before answering them; paraphrase invites "that is not what I said."
  • Numbers over adjectives: "Table 3 row 4 shows 2.9 points at k=10" persuades every lane; "we respectfully believe the improvement is substantial" persuades none.
  • Never grade the reviewer ("the reviewer misunderstands...") — write "the submission states this compactly in §4.2; we will make it explicit" and let the evidence do the accusing.
  • Budget by leverage: one blocking objection answered completely beats five minor points each answered at 20%.

Verify-before-writing checklist

Response mechanics are exactly the kind of fact this venue changes per cycle, so before drafting anything reviewer-facing:

text
[ ] Reopen the current cycle's author instructions / notification email:
    does a response channel exist at all this year?
[ ] If yes: word/character limit, format, deadline (AoE?), and whether
    new results or links are permitted or barred
[ ] Anonymity rules during the window (assume double-blind persists)
[ ] Who may submit: contact author only, or any author?
[ ] For chair notes: the stated contact route on the host site, not a
    guessed email address

Every item comes from the current host site or EasyChair instance — the 2026 source map deliberately records the rebuttal question as unresolved (待核实), and this checklist is how it gets resolved for whatever cycle is live.

The one-page ceiling

Whatever the channel — window reply, camera-ready note, or chair correspondence — hold to roughly a page of substance per audience. Beyond that length, the reader is skimming, and a skimmed concession does as much damage as an unmade one. If the honest response needs three pages, the paper had three pages of problems; choose the one whose resolution changes the decision and spend the page there.

Output format

text
[Situation] response-window / camera-ready note / resubmission brief / chair note
[Per-reviewer leads] <R1/R2/R3: the concern each block opens with>
[Evidence anchors] <submitted section/table/artifact per concern>
[Concessions] <scoped limits admitted, in one line each>
[Deliverable deadline] <window close / Aug-20-style camera-ready gate / next venue gate>
