What it does

Facct Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting ACM FAccT author responses — the short factual-correction rebuttal after preliminary reviews, and, distinctively for the 2026-new process, the Revise-and-resubmit round where you address Area-Chair-prioritized concerns from a mixed CS+law+social-science panel, map each to a concrete change, and survive a re-review while keeping mutual anonymity.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k 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

  • Drafting ACM FAccT author responses — the short factual-correction rebuttal after preliminary reviews
  • Distinctively for the 2026-new process
  • The Revise-and-resubmit round where you address Area-Chair-prioritized concerns from a mixed CS+law+social-science panel
  • Map each to a concrete change

Example prompts

  • “/facct-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

Facct Author Response loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 571 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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 drafting ACM FAccT author responses — the short factual-correction rebuttal after preliminary reviews, and, distinctively for the 2026-new process, the Revise-and-resubmit round where you address Area-Chair-prioritized concerns from a mixed CS+law+social-science panel, map each to a concrete change, and survive a re-review while keeping mutual anonymity.

FAccT Author Response

Use this after FAccT reviews are released. FAccT has two distinct speaking turns, and conflating them is a common mistake: a short rebuttal for factual corrections, and — if you receive a Revise decision (new for the 2026 edition) — a full revision plus response that addresses Area-Chair-prioritized concerns and is re-reviewed. Both must respect mutual anonymity: nothing you write may reveal authors, institutions, field sites, or a repository owner.

Triage (both turns)

  • Answer what affects the decision: relevance and framing, correctness, depth of exposition, honest treatment of strengths and limitations, and — often decisive at FAccT — the reality of the harm and the care taken with affected people.
  • Answer each reviewer on the axis they raised, including the out-of-field reviewer. A legal or qualitative objection is not noise to be waved off with a metric.
  • Correct factual misreadings first; a reviewer who misread a subgroup table or a consent procedure is often persuadable.
  • Keep every word anonymous — do not name your system's real name, your institution, your field site, your IRB, or a private repository, even to strengthen a point.

Turn 1 — the short rebuttal

Short and strictly for factual corrections and misunderstandings, plus signposting minor edits. It is not a venue to re-argue substantive disagreement or to promise a new study — that is the Revise round's job. Concede what is true, correct what is misread, and point to exactly where the answer already lives in the submitted paper or supplementary material. Do not paste new results the reviewers cannot verify in the current PDF.

Turn 2 — the Revise-and-resubmit response (the distinctive FAccT-2026 move)

A Revise is a genuine revise-and-resubmit. The Area Chair summarizes and prioritizes the concerns; your job is to address that prioritized list. The response is a change ledger: for every prioritized concern, either make the change and show it, or decline it with a reason.

text
[AC.1] Prioritized concern (quoted briefly)
       -> Action: DONE  | added disaggregation by <group> (Table 3); reported the utility cost
       -> Where: §5.2, Table 3; analysis/rq2.ipynb (anonymized)
[AC.2] Prioritized concern (from the legal reviewer)
       -> Action: DONE  | corrected the doctrinal framing per §2; the "right" is now cited to <origin>
[AC.3] Prioritized concern
       -> Action: DECLINED (with reason) | the requested field study cannot be run in the window
          without re-consenting participants; added a bounded limitation instead (§6) and an
          Adverse Impacts note

The rule that turns a Revise into an acceptance: no unaddressed prioritized concern. A concern that is neither done nor explicitly and reasonably declined is what the re-review punishes.

Reviewer pushback patterns

PushbackWhat it signalsFAccT-ready response
"Results are aggregate; where is the subgroup harm?"Disaggregation gapAdd per-group metrics with uncertainty; report the utility trade-off
"The proxy for the protected attribute is not valid"Construct-validity doubtValidate the proxy, report its error, bound the claim
"You speak for a community you did not study"Standpoint/rigor objectionAdd the community's data or scope the claim; note it in Positionality (at acceptance)
"The legal claim misreads the doctrine"Cross-lane correctnessFix the framing, cite the doctrine correctly, or narrow the legal claim
"This could be misused to justify deployment"Adverse-impact concernStrengthen the Adverse Impacts statement and the paper's caveats

Anonymity in the response (easy to slip)

  • Refer to your own prior work in the third person, as in the paper.
  • Describe changes to released code/data without linking to an identity-revealing repository; use the anonymized location.
  • Do not thank a named collaborator, partner organization, or funder inside the response, and do not reveal the field site.

Calibration

  • Respond to the criterion the reviewer actually raised, not the one you would rather defend.
  • The rebuttal is short and factual; the substantive work is the Revise round — do not burn the rebuttal trying to do the revision's job.
  • Length and format norms for both turns, and the very existence of the Revise round, are 2026-new — confirm the current instructions before sending.

Output format

text
[Turn] short rebuttal / revise-and-resubmit response
[Priority issue] <reviewer or AC concern>
[Decision dimension] relevance / correctness / depth / strengths-and-limits / harm-and-ethics / discipline
[Change ledger] <prioritized concern -> DONE/PARTIAL/DECLINED + where in paper/artifact>
[Anonymity check] <no identity leak, no field-site/positionality reveal: passed/issues>
