What it does

Ieeesp Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting the IEEE S&P (Oakland) rebuttal for second-round papers or the response plan for a Revise decision, including triaging reviews under the ~5-day window, answering adaptive-attack and threat-model objections, handling ethics questions with documentation, and writing against the Revise expectations summary.

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.

It sits in Security, covering Threat modeling. 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

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

Ieeesp Author Response loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 533 words of instructions outside code blocks.

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

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 the IEEE S&P (Oakland) rebuttal for second-round papers or the response plan for a Revise decision, including triaging reviews under the ~5-day window, answering adaptive-attack and threat-model objections, handling ethics questions with documentation, and writing against the Revise expectations summary.

IEEE S&P Author Response

Use this in two situations that S&P runs differently from most venues: the short rebuttal offered only to papers that survive the first round, and the Revise response, a full re-submission against a written expectations summary. The 2027 Cycle 2 rebuttal window was five days — reviews out Feb 11, rebuttal due Feb 16, 2027 (checked 2026-07-08) — so the work is mostly done before reviews arrive or it does not get done.

Pre-draft before reviews land

Between the early-reject notice and review release, write the skeleton:

  • The three objections your own red-team read would raise (usually: an adaptive-attacker gap, a threat-model realism question, a measurement-validity question).
  • The exact section/figure references answering each.
  • The ethics documentation block: disclosure dates, vendor responses, IRB determination ID — assembled, dated, ready to paste.

Triage the review set in the first hour

Objection typeResponse strategyWin probability
Misreading of mechanism or threat modelQuote the submission, cite section, restate in two linesHigh
Missing experiment you actually havePoint to appendix/artifact locationHigh
Adaptive-attack gap that is realConcede scope precisely; state what the evaluated adversary coversMedium — honesty is scored
Threat-model taste ("attacker unrealistic")Ground in incidents/measurements, not adjectivesMedium
Ethics record questionDates, IDs, named approvals — documentation onlyBinary: docs exist or not
Fundamental novelty disputeOne paragraph on the delta; do not relitigateLow — spend words elsewhere

Spend the budget in proportion to win probability times decision weight, and answer every reviewer at least once — an ignored reviewer in the post-rebuttal discussion is a vote you conceded.

Rules of engagement in the rebuttal

  • Answer the objection actually written, not the friendlier one nearby.
  • New experimental results: follow the current cycle's instructions on whether new numbers are allowed (待核实 each cycle); when unclear, phrase as verification of existing claims rather than new contributions.
  • Never argue that a security concern "is out of scope" without saying whose scope — restate the threat model's boundary and why it is the right one.
  • Keep the anonymous voice; disclosure specifics stay venue-neutral.
  • No links out of HotCRP unless the CFP explicitly permits them.

Rebuttal skeleton

text
Common response (all reviewers):
  C1. Threat model boundary: <2 lines + §ref>
  C2. Adaptive-adversary coverage: <what was evaluated, §ref>
  C3. Ethics record: disclosed <date>, IRB <id/waiver>, data handling <§ref>

Reviewer A:
  A1 [misreading] The attack does not require <X>; see §3.2 ¶2.
  A2 [evidence]  The <n>-target evaluation is in Table 4; per-target
      breakdown in Appendix C.
Reviewer B:
  B1 [concession] Correct: we do not evaluate <adversary class>. Our claims
      are scoped to <boundary> (§2); extending is future work.
→ ≤ <current cycle's length cap 待核实>; every point ends at a §/Table/date.

Responding to a Revise decision

The Revise summary of expectations is a contract, not a suggestion list:

  1. Extract each expectation into a numbered ledger; get co-author agreement on the interpretation of each before doing work.
  2. Deliver every item or explicitly negotiate the ones you contest — silence on an expectation reads as failure to meet it.
  3. Write a change document mapping expectation → change → location, so the returning reviewers can verify in minutes.
  4. Do not add major unrequested material; new claims reopen review scope.
  5. Confirm on the live cycle pages which cycle receives the revision and its deadline (待核实 — the 2027 mechanics were not published at check time).

Failure modes seen at this venue

  • Spending the five days on the novelty dispute instead of the fixable evidence objections.
  • Answering an ethics question with philosophy instead of a timeline.
  • Treating Revise as "minor revisions plus a cover letter" — it is re-reviewed as a major revision against the written expectations.
  • Missing that the rebuttal's real audience is the reviewer discussion that follows it: write lines a sympathetic reviewer can quote.
