What it does

Cscw Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when a CSCW paper draws Revise and Resubmit or Revise for External Review — triaging reviewer requests, running the weeks-long revision as a project, and writing the point-by-point response letter that the same reviewers will read before they reread anything else.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

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

  • A CSCW paper draws Revise and Resubmit
  • Revise for External Review — triaging reviewer requests
  • Running the weeks-long revision as a project
  • Writing the point-by-point response letter that the same reviewers will read before they reread anything else

Example prompts

  • “/cscw-author-response”

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

Cscw Author Response loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 72 tokens; SKILL.md has 522 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~72
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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 a CSCW paper draws Revise and Resubmit or Revise for External Review — triaging reviewer requests, running the weeks-long revision as a project, and writing the point-by-point response letter that the same reviewers will read before they reread anything else.

CSCW Author Response

There is no rebuttal box at CSCW. The venue's response instrument is the revision plus response letter of a journal: you get weeks or months, you may change anything in the manuscript, and the people reading the result are the reviewers who wrote the critiques. That combination — real time, real changes, remembered context — makes the response letter the highest-leverage document of the whole pipeline.

Triage: sort requests before touching the manuscript

Extract every distinct request from every review into a ledger, then classify:

ClassDefinitionResponse posture
DoLegitimate, feasible in the windowDo it fully; show where
Do differentlyLegitimate concern, wrong prescriptionFix the underlying concern; explain the substitution explicitly
DeclineWould harm the paper or exceed the study's licenseDecline once, with reasons — never silently
CannotRequires data/access that no longer existsSay so plainly; offer the honest partial (new limitation text, added analysis of existing data)

Two CSCW-specific triage realities:

  • Cross-tradition requests are common. A quantitative reviewer may ask an interpretive study for reliability statistics; a qualitative reviewer may ask a trace study for member voice. Handle these as "do differently": meet the underlying worry (analytic credibility; human grounding) within your tradition's own rigor, and teach the standard you are meeting in one respectful sentence.
  • New-data requests need early decisions. More interviews or another deployment wave may be impossible mid-revision. Decide in week one whether to collect, substitute, or descope a claim — this decision gates everything else.

Running the revision as a project

  • Assign each ledger row an owner and a due date inside the window stated in the decision letter (confirm the date; under rolling it is set per paper).
  • Sequence: analysis-changing work first, prose second, response letter third — a letter written before the changes stabilize will misdescribe them.
  • Freeze a diffable copy of the round-one manuscript; you will need honest before/after references, and reviewers may check.

The response letter

Structure that survives a skeptical same-reviewer read:

text
Dear Editor and Reviewers,

Summary of changes (½ page max):
  the 3-5 revisions that changed the paper's substance, plainly stated.

Per-reviewer, per-point:
  R1.1  [quote or faithfully paraphrase the request]
        Response: what we did / why we did something else / why we declined.
        Location: §4.2, ¶3; Appendix C, Table 7.
  R1.2  ...
  R2.1  ...

Changes not requested by any reviewer:
  list them — silent edits discovered later cost trust.

Letter discipline:

  • Answer the request that was made, then stop. Padding a response with re-argued contributions signals evasion to someone who has read it all before.
  • Point to locations, not to effort. "We substantially revised Section 4" is unverifiable; "§4.2 now reports the attrition counts (new Table 3)" is.
  • Keep the tone collegial and unwounded. The reviewer rereads your paper with this letter's tone in their ear.
  • Preserve anonymity — the revision round is still anonymized: no names in the letter, no identifying artifacts in newly added materials.
  • Concede real hits explicitly. "The reviewer is right that our round-one framing overclaimed; we have rescoped the claim to the six communities studied" converts a weakness into demonstrated judgment.

Revise-for-External-Review responses

The internal-round variant is smaller but the same shape: a short letter, the specific repairs, done fast. Its purpose is to make the paper worth reviewers' time — fix exactly what the screeners flagged and resist the urge to renovate.

Exit check before resubmission

text
[Ledger]    every request answered exactly once (no orphans, no repeats)? y/n
[Locations] every claimed change verified at its cited section/page? y/n
[Diff]      unrequested changes listed? y/n
[Tone]      letter read aloud by a co-author not involved in drafting it? y/n
[Anonymity] new text, tables, and supplements swept? y/n
[Deadline]  resubmission date and format confirmed against the decision letter? y/n

In the last verified cycle roughly four of five R&R papers that resubmitted were accepted (152 of 196; checked 2026-07-08) — the loop rewards teams that treat it as the venue's main event rather than an appeal.
