What it does

Imc Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting ACM IMC author responses, covering the initial-review rebuttal and — distinctively — the One-Shot-Revision resubmission that must address a bounded set of action points, keep double-blind anonymity, satisfy the reviewer champion, and be re-judged by the same reviewers at the next deadline.

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.

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 ACM IMC author responses
  • Keep double-blind anonymity
  • Satisfy the reviewer champion
  • Be re-judged by the same reviewers at the next deadline

Example prompts

  • “/imc-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

Imc Author Response loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 559 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~82
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 ACM IMC author responses, covering the initial-review rebuttal and — distinctively — the One-Shot-Revision resubmission that must address a bounded set of action points, keep double-blind anonymity, satisfy the reviewer champion, and be re-judged by the same reviewers at the next deadline.

IMC Author Response

Use this after IMC reviews are released. IMC has two distinct speaking turns, and conflating them is a common mistake: a short initial rebuttal, and — if you receive a One-Shot-Revision — a revised paper plus a change summary that the same reviewers re-read at the next deadline against a bounded set of action points. Both must respect double-blind anonymity: no author, institution, testbed, or vantage-point identity may leak.

Triage (both turns)

  • Answer what affects the decision: significance of the finding, vantage-point representativeness, ground truth, methodology soundness, confounds/limitations, ethics, and artifact availability.
  • Use evidence that already exists or that the revision will concretely add — never a vague promise.
  • Correct factual misreadings first; a reviewer who misread your coverage or your ethics handling is often persuadable.
  • Keep every word anonymous. Do not name your tool, institution, AS, probe account, or a private dataset URL, even to strengthen a point.

Turn 1 — the initial rebuttal

Short and decision-focused. One decision-critical point per reviewer beats an exhaustive reply. Concede what is true, correct what is misread, and point to exactly where the answer lives in the submitted paper or appendix. For measurement papers the highest-value clarifications are usually: why the vantage points are representative enough, why a snapshot generalizes (or how long the window was), and why the active measurement was safe. Do not paste large new results the reviewers cannot verify.

Turn 2 — the One-Shot-Revision (the distinctive IMC move)

A One-Shot-Revision is a bounded contract: the reviewers (with at least one champion) named a small number of action points — up to a few concrete additions/changes — and the resubmission is judged narrowly on whether each was done. Structure a change summary as an explicit ledger:

text
[A1] Action point (quoted briefly): "add a mobile-carrier vantage point"
     -> DONE  | added 8 carrier vantage points across 3 regions; §4.2, Table 3; dataset v2
[A2] Action point: "address the diurnal confound"
     -> DONE  | added a time-of-day controlled analysis; Fig. 5; the effect persists
[A3] Action point: "clarify the probing safety review"
     -> DONE  | expanded the Ethics appendix with the opt-out and rate-limit design (§A.1)

The rules that turn a One-Shot-Revision into an acceptance:

  • Do exactly the named action points — all of them, visibly. A silent omission or a "we disagree" without a documented alternative is what the second read punishes.
  • Do not scope-creep. Reopening the whole paper or adding unrequested claims signals you misread the bounded contract and risks the champion's support.
  • Keep the champion's confidence. The revision succeeds by delivering the specific things the advocate needs to defend it in discussion.

Reviewer pushback patterns

PushbackWhat it signalsIMC-ready response
"Vantage points are not representative"External-validity doubtAdd vantage points or quantify and bound the coverage gap; state residual limits
"This could be a snapshot artifact"Temporal-validity doubtAdd a longitudinal slice or show stability across your window
"No ground truth for the labels"Construct-validity doubtAdd a validated subsample or a second data source; bound the error
"The active measurement may cause harm"Ethics objectionDocument safety design, opt-out, rate limits, disclosure; expand the Ethics section
"The artifact is unavailable/undocumented"Availability gapFix and re-anonymize the dataset/tool; correct the declaration

Anonymity in the response (easy to slip)

  • Refer to your own prior work in the third person, as in the paper.
  • Describe new vantage points and datasets without linking an identity-revealing account, testbed, or repository.
  • Do not thank a named operator, provider, or funder inside the response.

Calibration

  • Respond to the criterion the reviewer actually raised, not the one you would rather defend.
  • Length and format norms for both turns vary by cycle; confirm the current instructions.
  • The PC discussion decides; write for the champion, and make the revised paper — not the summary — carry the evidence.

Output format

text
