What it does

Ecai Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when writing the ECAI author response (rebuttal) — the single, short, double-blind reply during the response window (IJCAI-ECAI 2026: 7-10 April 2026) that must correct factual misreadings and supply asked-for evidence within a strict length limit, knowing there is no second round and the area chair decides.

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

  • Writing the ECAI author response (rebuttal) — the single
  • Double-blind reply during the response window (IJCAI-ECAI 2026: 7-10 April 202
  • That must correct factual misreadings and supply asked-for evidence within a strict length limit

Example prompts

  • “/ecai-author-response”

Workflow steps

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

  1. One-line framing (optional, ≤1 sentence). The single most important correction, up front.
  2. Per-reviewer, per-point answers. Address the specific objections each reviewer raised, in
  3. Shared-concern block (if two reviewers raised the same point). Answer once, reference it.

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

Ecai Author Response loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 620 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
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.

description
Use when writing the ECAI author response (rebuttal) — the single, short, double-blind reply during the response window (IJCAI-ECAI 2026: 7-10 April 2026) that must correct factual misreadings and supply asked-for evidence within a strict length limit, knowing there is no second round and the area chair decides.

ECAI Author Response

ECAI gives you one response, and there is no revision round after it. This is not a journal rebuttal that precedes a Major Revision; it is a single, short, double-blind reply that the area chair reads before the accept/reject discussion. Write it as a precision instrument: fix what is factually wrong, supply the one number a reviewer said was missing, and give the area chair a clean reason to champion the paper.

For IJCAI-ECAI 2026 the author-response window is 7-10 April 2026, after the summary-reject phase (4 Mar) and before final notification (29 Apr). Verify the exact window and any length limit on the current call before writing.

What the response can and cannot do

The response CANThe response CANNOT
Correct a factual misreading ("the reviewer read Table 2 as X; it reports Y")Add a new experiment or theorem that changes the contribution
Supply a specific number/clarification a reviewer explicitly requestedRe-run the study or promise a revised version — there is no revision round
Point to the exact line/lemma/figure that answers an objectionArgue taste or "significance" against a reviewer's judgment
Clarify scope a reviewer misjudgedReveal author identity to make a credibility argument

Structure (short and scannable)

Length is tight (verify the cap). Do not spend it on throat-clearing.

  1. One-line framing (optional, ≤1 sentence). The single most important correction, up front.
  2. Per-reviewer, per-point answers. Address the specific objections each reviewer raised, in their order. Lead each with the reviewer's concern in a few words, then the answer.
  3. Shared-concern block (if two reviewers raised the same point). Answer once, reference it.

Keep every answer evidenced and checkable: a table cell, a lemma number, a definition, a line in the supplement. An assertion the area chair cannot verify from the existing paper is worth little in a single-round process.

Double-blind discipline

The response is read under double-blind review. Do not:

  • name your group, institution, or prior system;
  • write "as we showed in our [X]" in a way that identifies you — cite neutrally;
  • link a non-anonymized repository to prove a claim.

A de-anonymizing rebuttal can sink an otherwise-acceptable paper.

Triage: which points to answer

You cannot fix everything in a few hundred words. Prioritize:

  1. Factual errors that, uncorrected, justify rejection — highest value; these are winnable.
  2. Missing-number requests you can answer from work already done (a metric already computed, a proof already in the supplement).
  3. Clarifications of scope or claim the reviewer misread.
  4. Skip or briefly acknowledge pure-taste objections and requests that would require new work — promising future work does not move a single-round decision.

Worked micro-example (illustrative, fictional)

R2 says the completeness proof assumes a finite state space, making it inapplicable. The completeness result (Thm. 1) does not assume finiteness; it requires only that the fallback heuristic is admissible and the branching factor is finite, both stated in §3.1. The proof step R2 cites (line 214) bounds regret, not the state count. We will make the assumption list explicit in the camera-ready.

R3 asks for the node-expansion numbers on the IPC-2018 domains specifically. These are already in the supplement (Table S4); the median reduction there is reported per domain. We will surface a one-line summary in §4 of the camera-ready. (Answers an explicit request from work already done; promises only a minor, camera-ready-legal edit.)

Common failure modes

  • Debating the area chair's future decision instead of arming an advocate with facts.
  • Promising a revised paper — ECAI has no round in which to deliver it.
  • Spreading the length limit thin across every minor comment instead of concentrating on the reject-driving points.
  • Introducing new claims the reviewers could not check — often read as moving the goalposts.
  • Leaking identity to bolster credibility.
