What it does

Mobisys Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting a MobiSys rebuttal after round-2 reviews — working within the scope limit (correct factual errors, answer specific reviewer questions), adding only directly-responsive new results, promising camera-ready work honestly, staying double-blind, and giving the area chair a clean rationale for a mobile-systems accept decision.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 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 a MobiSys rebuttal after round-2 reviews — working within the scope limit (correct factual errors
  • Answer specific reviewer questions)
  • Adding only directly-responsive new results
  • Promising camera-ready work honestly

Example prompts

  • “/mobisys-author-response”

Workflow steps

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

  1. State the decision-critical correction or concession first.
  2. Point to exact submitted evidence (figure, table, appendix, artifact).
  3. Explain the systems consequence — what it means for the device claim.
  4. Promise a camera-ready fix only if it adds no unsupported claim and you can deliver 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

Mobisys Author Response loads about 930 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 91 tokens; SKILL.md has 419 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~91
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~930

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 a MobiSys rebuttal after round-2 reviews — working within the scope limit (correct factual errors, answer specific reviewer questions), adding only directly-responsive new results, promising camera-ready work honestly, staying double-blind, and giving the area chair a clean rationale for a mobile-systems accept decision.

MobiSys Author Response

Use this after MobiSys round-2 reviews are released. Reopen the current rebuttal instructions and length limit before drafting, because scope and mechanics are cycle-specific. The MobiSys rebuttal is narrow by design: it is not a revision and not a place to reargue the paper.

Scope discipline

  • The rebuttal is for correcting factual errors in the reviews and answering specific questions reviewers posed. Stay inside that scope.
  • New experiments are admissible only if they directly address reviewer feedback; alternatively, you may promise results expected by the camera-ready deadline — but only ones you can actually deliver.
  • Keep the reply double-blind: no institution, authorship, private repository, or identity-revealing device/account detail.
  • Use existing submitted evidence first: figures, appendix tables, device provenance, and the artifact — point to them precisely rather than restating them.

Triage

  • Answer concerns that affect the decision: is the system real, is the on-device evidence sufficient, is the energy/latency claim defensible, is the contribution a system.
  • Correct factual misreadings first (a reviewer who thinks you tested one device when you tested four), then address requests for a missing baseline, an energy boundary, or a break-condition experiment.
  • One decision-critical point per reviewer beats an exhaustive reply; the AC reads for whether the central objection was actually resolved.

Drafting pattern

  1. State the decision-critical correction or concession first.
  2. Point to exact submitted evidence (figure, table, appendix, artifact).
  3. Explain the systems consequence — what it means for the device claim.
  4. Promise a camera-ready fix only if it adds no unsupported claim and you can deliver it.

Systems-reviewer pushback patterns

PushbackWhat it signalsMobiSys-ready fix
"Evaluated on one device"Generalization doubtPoint to the multi-device table, or promise the added device honestly
"Energy numbers are unconvincing"Undefined instrument/boundaryName the power monitor, sampling rate, and envelope already in App. A
"Only a 30-second benchmark"Throttling hiddenReference the sustained-load run and thermal trace, or promise one
"This is a better model, not a system"Fit doubtRe-anchor the contribution as the runtime/scheduling mechanism, with the ablation that isolates it

Response micro-example

Reviewer objection: the latency win might vanish once the device throttles. Reply skeleton:

  1. Concede the concern is the right one to raise for sustained load.
  2. Point to the 20-minute run in Fig. 1 and the thermal trace in App. A, already submitted.
  3. Note the win holds to steady state on all four devices, with the numbers regenerable from the artifact.
  4. Offer one camera-ready sentence making the steady-state result explicit in the body.

Output format

[Priority issue] <reviewer concern>
[Decision dimension] contribution / on-device evidence / energy-latency rigor / clarity

[Out-of-scope content removed] <reargument, identity leaks, undeliverable promises>
