What it does
Hpca Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting an HPCA rebuttal and revision in the single combined window: triaging objections by what the window can fix, running a small number of new experiments, writing for the program-committee room and its champion, and revising the paper diff-minimally so response and revision agree.
Its SKILL.md is about 940 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 an HPCA rebuttal and revision in the single combined window: triaging objections by what the window can fix
- Running a small number of new experiments
- Writing for the program-committee room and its champion
- Revising the paper diff-minimally so response and revision agree
Example prompts
- “/hpca-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
Hpca Author Response loads about 938 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 424 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.
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.

- hpca-author-response
- description
- Use when drafting an HPCA rebuttal and revision in the single combined window: triaging objections by what the window can fix, running a small number of new experiments, writing for the program-committee room and its champion, and revising the paper diff-minimally so response and revision agree.
HPCA Author Response
Use this during HPCA's single combined rebuttal/revision window — the one period in which you respond to reviews and revise the paper together. The goal is not to win an argument; it is to arm a champion at the program-committee meeting and to make the revised paper reflect what you promise.
Triage objections by what the window can fix
Sort every review comment before writing a word:
- Deciding objection — the methodology or novelty concern the champion must overcome. Spend most of the window here.
- Fixable-and-worth-it — a missing baseline, a sensitivity study, an unclear mechanism detail the window has time to address.
- Clarification — a misreading you can correct in a sentence and reflect in the revision.
- Out of scope — a request no short window can satisfy; acknowledge honestly and scope what you can show.
| Objection type | Response move | Revision move |
|---|---|---|
| Deciding (methodology/novelty) | Direct evidence or a tight argument | Change the paper to match |
| Missing baseline / sweep | A small new experiment | Add the result, mark it |
| Mechanism unclear | One-paragraph clarification | Tighten the description |
| Misreading | Point to the text | Rephrase the ambiguous line |
| Out of scope | Acknowledge; state what is feasible | Note the limitation |
Run few, decisive new experiments
The window is short. Run a small number of new experiments that each answer a
specific objection, not a scattershot of everything a reviewer mentioned. One
well-chosen sweep that closes the deciding objection is worth more than five that
answer minor points. Pull from the staging shelf you prepared before the window
opened (see hpca-supplementary).
Show full SKILL.md (171 more words)Show less
Write for the room and its champion
The rebuttal is read at the PC meeting, where a champion argues for the paper against the strongest objection. Write so the champion can quote you:
- Lead each response with the answer, then the evidence — not a wind-up.
- Make the deciding objection's answer unmissable and self-contained.
- Be concrete: "we added the tuned baseline; it changes the gap from X to Y" beats "we believe our baseline is fair."
- Stay civil and specific; a defensive or vague rebuttal loses the champion.
Revise diff-minimally so response and revision agree
Because reviewers see both your response and the revised paper, keep the revision a minimal, faithful diff: change exactly what you promised, and no more. A response that claims a fix the revision does not contain — or a revision that quietly rewrites beyond the promises — undercuts trust. Track each promise to a specific edit.
Window pass
1. Triage every comment (deciding / fixable / clarification / out-of-scope)
2. Pick the few decisive experiments; pull from the staging shelf
3. Draft answer-first responses; make the deciding one unmissable
4. Apply a minimal revision that matches every promise
5. Cross-check: does the revised paper contain each claimed fix?Output format
[Deciding objection] <one>
[New experiments] <the few, each tied to an objection>
[Response map] <objection -> answer-first reply>
[Revision diff] <promise -> exact edit>
[Champion test] can a champion win the room with this? (Y/N)Reopen the current CFP for the exact window dates and any length limit on the response — both are per-edition.
