What it does

Icassp Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting an ICASSP rebuttal or author response to reviews, covering the recently added and short author-response window, the single-blind setting where reviewers already know you, answering signal-processing reviewers from the four-page record without a revised PDF, and writing for the technical-committee decision rather than for tone.

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.

It sits in Documents & Office. 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 ICASSP rebuttal
  • Author response to reviews
  • Covering the recently added and short author-response window
  • The single-blind setting where reviewers already know you

Example prompts

  • “/icassp-author-response”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Separate factual errors in the review (a metric misread, a missed baseline that is in the
  2. Fix the factual errors first with an exact pointer: "Table 2, row 3 already reports this."
  3. For real gaps, concede cleanly and scope a camera-ready clarification that adds no
  4. Rank concerns by decision weight; one resolved correctness objection outranks five answered

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

Icassp Author Response loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 594 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
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 drafting an ICASSP rebuttal or author response to reviews, covering the recently added and short author-response window, the single-blind setting where reviewers already know you, answering signal-processing reviewers from the four-page record without a revised PDF, and writing for the technical-committee decision rather than for tone.

ICASSP Author Response

Use this after ICASSP reviews are released. First confirm whether the current cycle even runs a rebuttal: ICASSP historically had no author-response stage, and a short window is a comparatively recent addition (in the 2026 cycle authors could reply until ~22 December 2025). Reopen the current call before promising reviewers anything.

What the rebuttal is and is not

  • It is a short, text-based reply to the reviews, not a chance to upload a revised PDF or new experiments. Argue from what you already submitted.
  • ICASSP is single-blind, so the reviewers know your identity; write professionally and do not attempt to re-establish anonymity or drop identifying hints to sway a reviewer.
  • The audience is the area/technical-committee decision: give whoever aggregates the reviews a clean reason to accept, not a point-by-point defense that wins arguments but not the paper.

Triage before drafting

  1. Separate factual errors in the review (a metric misread, a missed baseline that is in the paper) from legitimate gaps (a missing comparison, an unreported condition).
  2. Fix the factual errors first with an exact pointer: "Table 2, row 3 already reports this."
  3. For real gaps, concede cleanly and scope a camera-ready clarification that adds no unsupported new claim — the four pages you submitted are the evidence of record.
  4. Rank concerns by decision weight; one resolved correctness objection outranks five answered style notes.

Signal-processing reviewer pushback patterns

PushbackWhat it signalsICASSP-ready fix
"The baseline is not the current strong method"Reviewer knows the task's state of the artName the specific stronger baseline you did compare, or concede and scope it for camera-ready
"Which SNR / condition does this hold at?"The reported number hides its operating pointPoint to the sweep or table cell; if only one condition was tested, say so plainly
"Metric is not the one this task uses"Measurement mismatch (e.g., accuracy where SI-SDR belongs)Report the field-standard metric if you have it, or explain why yours is defensible
"No significance / spread over runs"One-seed resultCite the multi-run spread if present; otherwise concede it as a limitation
"This is a known result / prior art"Novelty challengeCite the exact delta versus the named prior work in one sentence
Show full SKILL.md (225 more words)Show less

Drafting pattern

  1. Open with the single most decision-critical correction or concession.
  2. Anchor each point to an exact location in the submitted paper (table, figure, equation, line).
  3. State the signal-processing consequence, not just the fact.
  4. Promise only camera-ready wording or clarification fixes that stay within the accepted claim.

Micro-example

Reviewer objection: the enhancement gain is reported only at one SNR, so the improvement may not generalize. Reply skeleton:

  1. Concede the main table fixes SNR at one value for space.
  2. Point to Fig. 3, which already sweeps 0-15 dB and shows the gain persists.
  3. Note the trend is monotone, so the single-SNR table is representative, not cherry-picked.
  4. Offer one camera-ready sentence stating the operating range explicitly.

Calibration for a short window

  • Reply early; ICASSP rebuttal windows are brief and a late, exhaustive reply is worth less than a prompt, precise one.
  • Do not paste new derivations or fresh result tables the reviewers cannot verify against the submitted PDF.
  • Keep within any stated length/format cap; if none is stated, be concise anyway — committee members read many rebuttals in one sitting.

Output format

text
[Rebuttal exists?] yes (dates) / no this cycle / unverified
[Priority issue] <reviewer concern>
[Decision dimension] correctness / novelty / evidence / clarity / metric-fit
[Draft response] <ICASSP-ready text, anchored to submitted paper>
[Evidence anchor] <table/figure/equation/line>
[Camera-ready promise] <scoped fix that adds no new claim>

Currency note

The 2026 rebuttal window (reported open to ~22 December 2025) was checked 2026-07-09 via official-page renderings (see ../../resources/official-source-map.md). Whether a rebuttal recurs, and its dates and length, are cycle-specific — verify on the current call before drafting.
