What it does

Kdd Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting KDD rebuttals on OpenReview, where authors answer each review under a no-hyperlink rule, cannot upload revisions, and write for the area chair who recommends Accept, Reject, or Resubmit. Covers evidence-anchoring without links, per-reviewer triage, and turning a likely Resubmit into next-cycle material at ACM SIGKDD.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k 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.

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

Kdd Author Response loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 788 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~89
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.7k

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 KDD rebuttals on OpenReview, where authors answer each review under a no-hyperlink rule, cannot upload revisions, and write for the area chair who recommends Accept, Reject, or Resubmit. Covers evidence-anchoring without links, per-reviewer triage, and turning a likely Resubmit into next-cycle material at ACM SIGKDD.

KDD Author Response

Use this when KDD reviews land. The structural facts that shape every rebuttal here: authors get a chance to respond to each review; the area chair reads the responses plus the reviewer discussion and recommends; the PC chairs decide; and the decision space includes Resubmit, not just accept/reject. Confirm the current cycle's exact rebuttal window and length limits on OpenReview before drafting — mechanics move between cycles.

KDD 2026 forbade hyperlinks in rebuttals and discussion. Practical consequences:

  • You cannot introduce a new repository, demo, or anonymous site now. The only artifact reviewers can check is whatever the submitted PDF already references.
  • Point with coordinates instead: "Table 3, column 4", "Section 5.2, lines 412-419" (the review option's line numbers exist precisely for this), "Appendix B, Algorithm 2", "README section 'Repro' of the repository cited in Section 6".
  • New numbers may be typed into the response as plain text tables if the cycle's rules allow new experimental results at all — check before running anything.

Per-reviewer triage

Sort every reviewer point into one of four bins before writing a word:

BinExample at KDDResponse move
Factual misread"No ablation for the drift module" when Table 5 is that ablationCorrect politely with exact coordinates; this is the cheapest score repair available
Missing-baseline demand"Compare against the latest graph transformer"Run it if rules and time permit and report as text; otherwise explain the regime mismatch concretely
Scale skepticism"Would this hold beyond the 10M-edge graphs tested?"Cite the complexity analysis plus the largest reported run; concede the untested regime explicitly
Scope objection"This is engineering, not research" (or, on ADS: "no deployment evidence")Restate the contribution as mechanism + regime; for ADS point to the post-launch metrics section

Answer the area chair, not the loudest reviewer: one resolved decision-critical objection moves a recommendation more than five resolved nitpicks.

Drafting pattern per review

text
R<k>, thank you for the careful read. We respond to your main concerns:

[W1 - <reviewer's phrase>] <one-sentence answer>.
Evidence: Section X.Y / Table N / Appendix Z (submitted version).
<If conceded:> This is correct; we will scope the claim in the final version to <...>.

[W2 - ...] ...

Summary: the decision-relevant points are W1 (misread, resolved by Table N) and
W3 (new run reported above as plain text). We believe W2 is a presentation fix
we commit to for the final version.

Keep each response self-contained; area chairs skim per-review threads independently.

Playing for Resubmit when Accept is out of reach

Unique to KDD's dual-cycle system: a rebuttal that will not rescue acceptance can still set up a strong next-cycle resubmission, because the Resubmit path expects the noted concerns to be addressed and rewards papers that address them.

  • Concede precisely. A concession recorded in this cycle's thread becomes the first line of the next cycle's mandatory one-page change summary.
  • Ask for actionability: if a reviewer's objection is vague, a polite request to name the missing experiment gives the resubmission a concrete target.
  • Never burn the thread. The resubmission declares the previous forum id, so hostile rebuttal text travels with the paper into the next cycle.

Tone calibration for this venue

  • KDD reviewer pools mix academic miners with industry practitioners; answer efficiency and deployment questions with numbers, not with "left to future work".
  • Do not promise camera-ready experiments you have not run — ACs discount unbacked promises, and the Resubmit option means "come back when it exists" is a real outcome.
  • Confidentiality and anonymity still bind: no identity hints, no "as our production system at <company>" phrasing in Research Track responses.

Worked micro-exchange

Reviewer 2 (practitioner lens) writes: "The 12% lift over the baseline likely comes from the extra embedding table, not the proposed propagation rule. Also, results on the industrial dataset cannot be verified." A response that moves the AC:

  1. Attribute with the ablation: "The variant -propagation in Table 5 keeps the embedding table and removes only the propagation rule; the lift drops from 12% to 3%, isolating the rule's contribution (Section 5.3, lines 512-528)."
  2. Convert the verification complaint into a specification answer: "The industrial dataset cannot be released, but Section 4.1 specifies schema, size (1.9B interactions), and collection window, and all pipeline code runs on the public datasets in the repository cited in Section 6."
  3. Concede the residue: "We agree the 3% residual on public data is smaller than the industrial figure and will state this asymmetry explicitly in the final version."

Three moves, three sentences each, zero links — and each maps a review objection to submitted evidence or a bounded commitment.

Rebuttal-window logistics

  • Draft against the clock: per-review responses for a 3-4 reviewer packet under a length limit take a full author-day; two for papers with new runs. Reserve the capacity when reviews are announced, not when they arrive (kdd-workflow).
  • One author owns tone-consistency across all responses; reviewers compare notes in discussion, and contradictory answers to R1 and R3 are visible to the AC.
  • Character/word limits per response box vary by cycle (待核实) — measure before writing, since cutting a finished response degrades it more than planning short.
  • After submitting responses, monitor the forum if the cycle allows follow-up discussion; an unanswered reviewer follow-up in the closing days reads as abandonment.
