Colt Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting a COLT (Conference on Learning Theory) rebuttal after initial reviews, handling proof-correctness objections, tightness and novelty-of-technique challenges, the area-chair identity-reveal rule, and concession strategy for theorem-first papers where one unrepaired gap outweighs every polished answer.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k 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.
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
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.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Colt Author Response loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 893 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
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.

.claude/skills/colt-author-response/SKILL.md (or your agent's skills folder).Use this after COLT reviews arrive. The COLT 2026 CFP (checked 2026-07-08) stated that initial reviews are sent to authors before final decisions and that authors get an opportunity to address issues raised — a rebuttal phase, run through CMT in that cycle. Exact window length, character limits, and attachment rules are announced with the reviews; read that announcement before writing a word.
A COLT review stands or falls on correctness first, then on the significance of the result and the novelty of the technique. The rebuttal is your one chance to:
It is not a place to announce new theorems. A brand-new result in a rebuttal box is unverifiable in the time reviewers have, and theory reviewers discount it accordingly; promise it for the final version only when the argument is a routine extension.
Under the 2026 policy, submissions are anonymized and names are withheld from reviewers, but the area chair knows author identities and may reveal them to a reviewer during the rebuttal period upon the reviewer's request, when the AC judges it necessary for a proper review — typically to check adjacency to the authors' own prior work. Consequences for drafting:
| Objection | What it usually means | COLT-ready move |
|---|---|---|
| "The proof of Lemma 3 has a gap at (12)" | The reviewer traced the chain and stopped | Give the missing two-line argument verbatim, or concede and show the repaired constant |
| "The bound is not tight; the lower bound is missing" | Result may be a partial story | Point to the matching lower bound if it exists; otherwise scope the claim and cite the open gap honestly |
| "This follows from [X] by a standard reduction" | Novelty-of-technique attack | Exhibit the concrete step where the reduction fails — the exact quantity [X] cannot control |
| "The assumption of bounded losses is restrictive" | Generality probe | Say whether the proof survives sub-Gaussian relaxation, and where it breaks if not |
| "The model is non-standard" | Fit and significance doubt | Anchor the model to a named line of prior COLT/ALT work and state what changes and why |
Reviewer: "Theorem 2's regret bound hides the dependence on the action-set diameter D; for unbounded D the claim is vacuous."
Verdict: misreading, with a wording fix we will make.
The D-dependence is present but implicit: the radius enters through the
self-bounding term in Eq. (9), and Lemma 5 (App. B.2) gives
R_T <= 4 D sqrt(T log K) + D log T.
D is assumed finite in Section 2 (line 3 of the setup). We agree the theorem
statement should carry D explicitly; the final version will state
R_T = O(D sqrt(T log K)) in Theorem 2 itself rather than in the proof.Four sentences, one display, an exact pointer, one concrete promised edit — the whole anatomy of a COLT rebuttal thread.

Colt Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting a COLT (Conference on Learning Theory) rebuttal after initial reviews, handling proof-correctness objections, tightness and novelty-of-technique challenges, the area-chair identity-reveal rule, and concession strategy for theorem-first papers where one unrepaired gap outweighs every polished answer.
Colt Author Response fits situations like: drafting a COLT (Conference on Learning Theory) rebuttal after initial reviews; handling proof-correctness objections; tightness and novelty-of-technique challenges; the area-chair identity-reveal rule.

SKILL.md names no scripts, command-line tools or credentials: Colt Author Response is instructions for the agent only.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Colt Author Response is published under the MIT licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 1.8k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 7k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
