What it does

Icde Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when responding to IEEE ICDE reviews, whether drafting a rebuttal to reviewer concerns or preparing a revise-and-resubmit change document for an invited ICDE revision under the 4-week window, coordinating with area chairs, addressing systems-reviewer pushback on baselines and cost, and deciding what is feasible before the revision deadline.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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

  • Responding to IEEE ICDE reviews
  • Whether drafting a rebuttal to reviewer concerns
  • Preparing a revise-and-resubmit change document for an invited ICDE revision under the 4-week window
  • Coordinating with area chairs

Example prompts

  • “/icde-author-response”

Workflow steps

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

  1. A rebuttal to initial reviews (where the process offers one) — a short, factual reply
  2. A revise-and-resubmit change document — when the first reviewing phase returns

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

Icde Author Response loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 493 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
~1k

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 responding to IEEE ICDE reviews, whether drafting a rebuttal to reviewer concerns or preparing a revise-and-resubmit change document for an invited ICDE revision under the 4-week window, coordinating with area chairs, addressing systems-reviewer pushback on baselines and cost, and deciding what is feasible before the revision deadline.

ICDE Author Response

Use this after ICDE reviews arrive. Reopen the current call's review-and-revision instructions before drafting, because ICDE's outcome model — and whether a Revise & Resubmit exists this edition — is edition-specific (待核实 for the current cycle).

Two response genres

ICDE can hand you either of two response tasks; identify which one you have before writing.

  1. A rebuttal to initial reviews (where the process offers one) — a short, factual reply that corrects errors and answers the decision-critical objection per reviewer.
  2. A revise-and-resubmit change document — when the first reviewing phase returns Revise & Resubmit (ICDE 2026 model), you get roughly four weeks to make concrete changes, re-reviewed by the same reviewers before a final Accept/Reject.

Triage (both genres)

  • Answer concerns that affect correctness, novelty, evaluation soundness, or reproducibility first; cosmetic complaints last.
  • Because ICDE is single-blind, you may cite your own prior work and name your system freely — there is no anonymity to protect in the reply.
  • Anchor every answer to concrete evidence: a paper section, an added experiment, a disclosed cost, or a specific edit — not a promise.
  • Correct factual misreadings before conceding anything; a reviewer who misread Figure 7 should be pointed to the exact panel, courteously.

The revision change document

For an invited revision, build a requirement ledger the same reviewers can check line by line:

  1. Extract every required and suggested change into a numbered list, tagged by reviewer.
  2. For each, decide: done (point to the new text/figure), partially done (state the limit honestly), or infeasible in four weeks (say so and explain).
  3. Write the change document so a reviewer can verify each item without hunting — quote the new sentence, name the new figure, give the section.
  4. Do not smuggle in scope changes the reviewers did not ask for; an invited revision is judged against its list, and surprise additions read as evasion.

Systems-reviewer pushback patterns

PushbackWhat it signalsICDE-ready fix
"Baseline X is untuned"The reviewer suspects an unfair comparisonReport the tuning budget you gave X, or re-run it tuned and show the new numbers
"Results are single-point"No scale or variance shownAdd a scale curve and report variance across runs, not one median
"Cost of the mechanism is hidden"The trade-off is not disclosedAdd the memory/bandwidth/latency cost table so the trade is legible
"Only synthetic workloads"Doubt about real-world relevanceAdd a real workload, or scope the claim to the regime you actually tested
"Prior system Y already does this"Novelty challengeName the specific mechanism difference and, if possible, compare against Y directly

Feasibility discipline

  • Before promising a demanded experiment, price it against the four-week window and your hardware access; a revision plan you cannot finish is worse than an honest partial.
  • One decision-critical resolution per reviewer beats an exhaustive reply; the area chair reads for whether the central objection was actually answered.
  • Reply and revise early — the window is short and same-reviewer re-review rewards clarity over volume.
