What it does

Oopsla Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when writing an OOPSLA author response inside the short per-round window — reading reviews through the four-outcome lens (Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, Reject), steering borderline papers toward a revision outcome instead of rejection, and committing only to changes deliverable within the round's revision mechanics.

Its SKILL.md is about 1k 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

  • Writing an OOPSLA author response inside the short per-round window — reading reviews through the four-outcome lens (Accept
  • Steering borderline papers toward a revision outcome instead of rejection
  • Committing only to changes deliverable within the rounds revision mechanics

Example prompts

  • “/oopsla-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

Oopsla Author Response loads about 1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 420 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
~1k

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 writing an OOPSLA author response inside the short per-round window — reading reviews through the four-outcome lens (Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, Reject), steering borderline papers toward a revision outcome instead of rejection, and committing only to changes deliverable within the round's revision mechanics.

OOPSLA Author Response

Each OOPSLA round gives authors one written response before decisions are finalized; the 2026 call scheduled it as a four-day Tuesday-to-Friday window per round (exact 2026 dates 待核实 — read them off the live HotCRP instance). What makes the OOPSLA response unlike a classic rebuttal is the decision space: reviewers are not only choosing accept-or-reject, they are choosing among Accept, Minor Revision, Major Revision, and Reject (2026 merged the old Conditional Accept into Minor Revision). Your response is an argument about which bucket the paper's problems belong in.

Reframe every objection as a bucket question

Reviewer concern typeBucket you argue forArgument shape
Factual misreadingAcceptQuote the submitted PDF: section, page, exact sentence
Missing experiment, bounded scopeMinor RevisionShow the experiment is runnable in weeks; sketch the protocol
Evaluation redesign, new formalismMajor Revision (next round)Concede scale honestly; state what the revision would contain
"Wrong venue" / fit doubtsAccept or MRAnchor to precedent shapes (see resources/exemplars/library.md)
Soundness hole in a theoremDepends — triage firstIf repairable, give the repaired statement now, not a promise

Arguing "Accept" against every concern is the classic failure: it tells the committee you would not execute a Minor Revision faithfully, which removes the middle buckets and polarizes the decision toward Reject.

Composition rules

  • Lead with the decision-relevant paragraph. State, in five lines, what you believe the correct outcome is and the one or two facts that support it. Committees skim; the first screen does the work.
  • Answer questions before defending honor. Direct reviewer questions get numbered answers with pointers into the PDF. Tone disputes get silence.
  • Quantify feasibility. "We will add a user study" is not credible inside a Minor Revision; "we will rerun Table 3 with the two requested baselines; scripts already exist in the artifact" is.
  • Never introduce results the PDF cannot support. New numbers in a response are unverifiable and reviewers know it; describe what would be measured, not what you privately measured last night.
  • Reference the revision caps. Promised additions must fit the 25-page revision limit; promising a new 6-page section is self-defeating.

Triage worksheet

text
For each review R1..Rn:
  extract: questions (Q), factual errors (E), evidence gaps (G), fit doubts (F)
  map each to bucket argument (table above)
  order: E first (cheap credibility), then Q, then G with feasibility, F last
  budget: total response length per current call rules (待核实 per cycle);
          spend >50% on the two items most likely to move the outcome

If the outcome will be a revision anyway

When reviews clearly point at Major Revision, use the response to shape the expectation list: propose the concrete revision contents yourself. Reviewers who accept your framing write requirements you have already planned for, and under the round system the same reviewers meet the resubmission — so what you promise here is what you will be graded on next round (oopsla-review-process).

Output format

text
[Predicted bucket] Accept / Minor Revision / Major Revision / Reject
[Target bucket] <the outcome the response argues for>
[Top two levers] <concern + one-line counter, ×2>
[Commitments made] <list, each with feasibility note and page cost>
[Response draft] <numbered, PDF-cited, within length budget>
