What it does

Icdt Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when responding to ICDT (International Conference on Database Theory) referees — principally the first-cycle Revise-and-resubmit round, where you return a corrected paper that closes each identified proof gap, plus any short author-comment phase, keeping the response anonymous and mapping every referee point to a concrete change in the revised PDF.

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

  • Responding to ICDT (International Conference on Database Theory) referees — principally the first-cycle Revise-and-resubmit round
  • Where you return a corrected paper that closes each identified proof gap
  • Plus any short author-comment phase
  • Keeping the response anonymous and mapping every referee point to a concrete change in the revised PDF

Example prompts

  • “/icdt-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

Icdt Author Response loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 94 tokens; SKILL.md has 505 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~94
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.

Use when responding to ICDT (International Conference on Database Theory) referees — principally the first-cycle Revise-and-resubmit round, where you return a corrected paper that closes each identified proof gap, plus any short author-comment phase, keeping the response anonymous and mapping every referee point to a concrete change in the revised PDF.

ICDT Author Response

Write the response for a venue where the referees checked your proofs. ICDT's central author-interaction mechanism is the Cycle-1 Revise-and-resubmit: not a short rebuttal that argues taste, but a returned paper in which each gap the referees named has been closed and the change documented. The second read is done by the same referees; a point raised and not addressed is what turns a revision into a reject.

Confirm the exact interaction model for the live cycle: ICDT's primary lever is the revision; whether a separate short rebuttal/author-comment phase runs in a given edition is 待核实 — read the current call. The advice below applies to the revision and, where one exists, to a brief comment phase.

Triage the referee points first

Sort every point by kind, because the fix differs:

Point kindExampleResponse
Correctness gap"The proof of Lemma 4 omits the cyclic case"Fix it in the paper; show the added case; this is top priority
Missing bound"Only the upper bound is proved"Prove the matching lower bound or scope the claim honestly
Model ambiguity"Is this data or combined complexity?"Pin the model in the body; correct any statement that was ambiguous
Positioning"How does this differ from [PODS year]?"Add the precise delta to related work (icdt-related-work)
Clarity"Definition 2 is hard to parse"Rewrite; a confused referee re-reads the revision
Genuine misreadingThe referee misunderstood a quantifierCorrect it and fix the prose that allowed the misreading

Correctness first, then bounds, then model, then clarity and positioning.

Write the revision, not a debate

  • Close the gap in the paper, then point to where: "Lemma 4 now covers the cyclic case (Appendix A, para 3)." The change lives in the PDF; the response is a map to it.
  • Prefer a fix over an argument. "We prove the missing lower bound in the new Section 5" beats "we believe the lower bound is not essential."
  • Where you decline a request, say why, technically. "A matching lower bound would require resolving [open problem]; we instead scope the claim to [restricted class] (Theorem 3)." An explicit, reasoned decline is respected; a silent omission is not.
  • Never argue taste. "We think the model is natural" moves nothing; a referee who found a gap wants it closed, not defended.

Anonymity in the response (since 2024)

The regular track is anonymous through review, so the revised paper and any response text must not de-anonymize you:

  • No author names, no "our prior work," no acknowledgments reintroduced in the revision.
  • Do not add an arXiv/full-version link that names you into the revised PDF.
  • Keep self-citations third-person in the revised text (see icdt-related-work).

A point-by-point skeleton for the revision letter

text
Summary: what changed at the top level (e.g., "added the matching lower bound; fixed the cyclic
         case in Lemma 4; clarified the complexity measure throughout").

R1.1 [correctness] "Lemma 4 omits the cyclic case."
     -> Fixed. The cyclic case is now handled in Lemma 4, with the argument in Appendix A.
R1.2 [bound] "Only an upper bound is shown."
     -> Added. Theorem 5 now proves a matching lower bound by reduction from <problem>.
R2.1 [model] "Data or combined complexity?"
     -> Clarified. The bound is combined complexity; stated explicitly in Section 3 and the abstract.
R2.2 [positioning] "Relation to [X, PODS year]?"
     -> Added to Related Work: their result is the special case of bounded arity; ours removes it.

The cross-cycle rule (do not misuse the response)

If your paper was rejected in Cycle 1 (not invited to revise), a response cannot resurrect it, and you may not resubmit to Cycle 2 unless the referees explicitly invited it. Reroute instead (icdt-topic-selection). The response letter belongs to the revision path, not the reject path.

Output format

text
[Interaction type] Cycle-1 revision / short comment phase / na (rejected)
[Point triage] correctness / bound / model / positioning / clarity, each -> concrete change
[Changes made] <list of paper edits with locations>
[Declines] <each declined request + technical reason>
[Anonymity] revised PDF and letter non-identifying? yes/no
