What it does

Percom Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting an IEEE PerCom rebuttal after being invited following the initial reviews, covering the bounded single-round reply that answers explicit reviewer questions, corrects misreadings, points to evidence already in the paper without promising new experiments, and preserves double-blindness.

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 an IEEE PerCom rebuttal after being invited following the initial reviews
  • Covering the bounded single-round reply that answers explicit reviewer questions
  • Corrects misreadings
  • Points to evidence already in the paper without promising new experiments

Example prompts

  • “/percom-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

Percom Author Response loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 544 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 an IEEE PerCom rebuttal after being invited following the initial reviews, covering the bounded single-round reply that answers explicit reviewer questions, corrects misreadings, points to evidence already in the paper without promising new experiments, and preserves double-blindness.

PerCom Author Response

Use this after PerCom reviews are released and you have been invited to submit a rebuttal. PerCom's rebuttal is a single, bounded turn: it answers the reviewers' explicit questions, resolves misunderstandings, and clarifies — and the call states that new experiments are not expected. There is no journal-style revision that follows, so the rebuttal must win with the paper you already submitted. It remains double-blind: reveal no author, institution, testbed, or dataset-owner identity.

First: did you clear the early-rejection gate?

Papers with no positive review are early-rejected before the rebuttal opens — there is no rebuttal to write for those. If you were invited, at least one reviewer sees a path to publication: your job is to give that advocate the answers they need for the TPC discussion, and to neutralize the specific doubts of the others.

Triage

  • Answer what affects the decision: significance of the contribution, soundness of the method, cross-subject / deployment evaluation, appropriate metrics (F1 vs. pooled accuracy), and clarity.
  • Use evidence that already exists in the submitted paper or dataset — a table, a figure, an appendix result the reviewer overlooked. Do not promise a new experiment; the process does not expect or reward one, and you cannot add it.
  • Correct factual misreadings first; a reviewer who misread which split produced a number is often persuadable with a pointer.
  • Keep every word anonymous — do not name your testbed, deployment site, institution, or a non-anonymized dataset, even to strengthen a point.

Structure the bounded reply

Group by reviewer, lead each item with the reviewer's own question, and answer with a pointer into the existing paper:

text
[R1.Q1] "Is the eating-recognition result cross-subject or within-subject?"
        -> Table 2 already reports leave-one-subject-out F1 (0.xx, 95% CI ...); the pooled number
           in the abstract is secondary. We will make this ordering explicit in §4.1.
[R2.Q1] "The baseline seems untuned."
        -> The baseline used the same feature budget and a grid search reported in Appendix A;
           we point R2 to Table A1 and will surface it in the body.
[R3.Q1] "How does it behave under confounding non-eating activities?"
        -> Table 4 already measures false positives against typing/brushing; we clarify the caption.

The rule that wins a bounded rebuttal: every explicit question gets a direct, located answer. A question left unaddressed is what the discussion punishes, because there is no later round to fix it.

Reviewer pushback patterns

PushbackWhat it signalsPerCom-ready response
"Evaluation is within-subject"The core ubicomp doubtPoint to your leave-one-subject-out table; if you truly lack it, this is likely fatal — do not fake it
"Accuracy is inflated by class imbalance"Metric-choice doubtPoint to reported F1 / event-level metrics and the class balance; clarify which metric is headline
"The baseline is not fair/tuned"Soundness doubtPoint to the equal-budget tuning already in the paper/appendix; clarify placement
"Does this generalize beyond your subjects?"External-validity limitPoint to the diversity of subjects and the stated limitation; do not overclaim
"The dataset/system is not available"Open-data gapPoint to the (anonymized) release plan; describe what will be public post-acceptance
"Contribution overlaps prior work X"Novelty doubtSharpen the delta in words; point to the comparison already present

Anonymity in the rebuttal (easy to slip)

  • Refer to your own prior work in the third person, as in the paper.
  • Describe the dataset/testbed without naming the site, building, or repository owner; use the anonymized location.
  • Do not thank a named collaborator, funder, or institution inside the reply.

Calibration

  • Respond to the criterion the reviewer actually raised, not the one you would rather defend.
  • The rebuttal length limit and format vary by cycle; confirm the current instructions and stay inside the limit — over-length rebuttals read as unfocused.
  • The TPC discussion decides; write the reply as ammunition for your advocate, and let the paper — not the rebuttal — carry the argument.

Output format

text
[Gate] invited to rebuttal? yes/no (if no: reroute, do not draft)
[Priority question] <reviewer's explicit question>
[Decision dimension] significance / soundness / cross-subject evaluation / metrics / clarity
[Located answer] <question -> pointer to existing table/figure/appendix; clarification to add>
[No-new-experiment check] <every answer grounded in submitted material? yes/no>
[Anonymity check] <no identity leak in the reply: passed/issues>
