What it does

Eurosys Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when writing a EuroSys rebuttal or managing a one-shot revision — reading reviews against the three possible outcomes (accept, revise, reject), answering systems reviewers' measurement and design objections, and turning a revision offer's condition list into a resubmission plan for the next EuroSys deadline.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 a EuroSys rebuttal

  • Answering systems reviewers measurement and design objections
  • Turning a revision offers condition list into a resubmission plan for the next EuroSys deadline

Example prompts

  • “measurement and design objections, and turning a revision offer”
  • “/eurosys-author-response”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Convert each condition into a task with an owner and a machine reservation.
  2. Decide within a week whether every condition is physically satisfiable before

  • Tool permissions

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

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands 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

Eurosys Author Response loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 645 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
~1.4k

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 a EuroSys rebuttal or managing a one-shot revision — reading reviews against the three possible outcomes (accept, revise, reject), answering systems reviewers' measurement and design objections, and turning a revision offer's condition list into a resubmission plan for the next EuroSys deadline.

EuroSys Author Response

Use this once EuroSys reviews arrive, or when a revision decision lands. The decisive EuroSys fact: every submission ends as accept, reject, or a one-shot revision offer (EuroSys 2026/2027 CFPs, rendered 2026-07-08). A response is not just damage control — it is the input that decides which of the three bins the PC discussion puts you in. Rebuttal mechanics (window length, word caps, whether a response phase exists at all in the current round) are set per cycle in HotCRP — 待核实 against the round's own instructions before drafting.

Read the reviews as a bin-sorting problem

Review patternLikely binResponse goal
Positive scores, factual misreadingsAccept-adjacentCorrect the record crisply; give the champion ammunition
"Promising but evaluation incomplete"Revision candidateShow the missing experiment is bounded and specific
Disputed novelty or contributionContestedName the delta against the exact cited system
Fundamental design objectionReject-adjacentConcede scope honestly; salvage what is defensible

The revision-candidate row matters most at this venue: reviewers who believe the fix is enumerable can argue for a revision offer instead of a reject, and the condition list they write becomes your contract.

Drafting rules for systems reviewers

  • Lead with the one correction that changes a score, not with thanks.
  • Quote the paper by section and figure number; EuroSys reviewers re-open the PDF.
  • Answer measurement objections with the measurement's own terms: workload, hardware, baseline version, repetition count — not adjectives.
  • Never promise results you have not already produced; a EuroSys revision offer will convert vague promises into explicit conditions you must then meet.
  • Stay anonymous. The double-blind contract holds through the response phase.

Response skeleton

text
R2's central concern: the comparison against <baseline> uses its default config.
- Fact: §5.2 tunes <baseline> per the authors' published guidance (Fig. 7 caption).
- New clarification: at the tuned setting, the gap is 1.8x, not the 3x headline;
  the 3x case is the untuned default, which §5.2 labels as such.
- Text change if accepted/revised: promote the tuned number to the abstract.
Minor points: [R1-a] typo confirmed. [R3-b] the trace is public; link withheld
under double-blind, provenance stated in §4.1.

If the outcome is a one-shot revision

The offer arrives with a list of necessary conditions — extra analysis, experiments, or comparisons that substantiate the claims. Treat it like a shepherded contract with a hard deadline: the next EuroSys submission round.

  1. Convert each condition into a task with an owner and a machine reservation.
  2. Decide within a week whether every condition is physically satisfiable before that round's paper gate; declining early beats failing late.
  3. Write the revision note as condition → change → location-in-paper, one row per condition, so the returning reviewers can verify without rereading everything.
  4. Do not smuggle in a new contribution; the revision is judged on the list, and scope creep reads as instability.

A revision accepted at the following round is presented at the edition it lands in — plan travel and camera-ready effort accordingly (see eurosys-workflow).

Word-budget allocation

Whatever cap the round sets, spend it in this ratio:

ShareSpend it on
~50%The single score-moving objection, answered with evidence
~25%Factual corrections that change how reviews read each other
~15%The most likely revision conditions, pre-scoped and bounded
~10%Minor points, batched one line each with review IDs

Resist symmetric per-reviewer allocation: the PC discussion is one conversation, not four, and the meta-question it settles is "does the author team understand what is actually wrong?"

Timeline discipline

  • Draft the bin-sort within 24 hours of reviews landing; the first reading under emotion misclassifies severity in both directions.
  • Circulate the score-moving answer to all authors before polishing minor points — co-author disagreement about the central concession is the thing you cannot fix on deadline morning.
  • If the round runs reviewer-author discussion rather than a one-shot rebuttal (待核实 per round), answer early; late replies reach reviewers who have already argued their position in the PC thread.
  • Keep a copy of exactly what was submitted; a later revision offer will be interpreted against the rebuttal's promises.

What sinks responses here

  • Arguing taste ("we believe the design is elegant") instead of evidence.
  • Burying the score-moving answer under ten minor-point replies.
  • Disputing a reviewer's competence — the PC discussion is a room of their peers.
  • Treating a revision offer as a soft accept; unmet conditions produce a reject and the same-season resubmission ban that follows it.

Output format

text
[Bin estimate] accept-adjacent / revision candidate / contested / reject-adjacent
[Score-moving issue] <the one objection worth most of the word budget>
[Fact corrections] <misreading -> section/figure evidence>
[Revision-condition plan] <condition -> task -> feasible by next round? yes/no>
[Anonymity check] passed / issues
