What it does
Pods Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting ACM PODS author responses, covering the short ~48-hour double-anonymous rebuttal that corrects misreadings of proofs and definitions, and — distinctively — the shepherded revision cover letter that maps every required item to a concrete change in the resubmitted paper and survives the shepherd's second read.
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.
It sits in Business, Finance & HR, covering Resume and CV writing. 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.

Example prompts
- “/pods-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
Pods Author Response loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 87 tokens; SKILL.md has 557 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- pods-author-response
- description
- Use when drafting ACM PODS author responses, covering the short ~48-hour double-anonymous rebuttal that corrects misreadings of proofs and definitions, and — distinctively — the shepherded revision cover letter that maps every required item to a concrete change in the resubmitted paper and survives the shepherd's second read.
PODS Author Response
Use this after PODS reviews are released. PODS has two distinct speaking turns, and conflating them is a common mistake: a short rebuttal (about 48 hours, a few thousand characters) right after reviews, and — if you receive a revision decision — a revision cover letter accompanying a resubmitted paper that a shepherd re-reads. Both stay double-anonymous: do not reveal authors, affiliations, or a named system, even to strengthen a point.
Triage (both turns)
- Answer what affects correctness first: a claimed error in a proof, an unstated assumption, a mismatch between an upper and a lower bound, or an out-of-scope objection.
- Distinguish a misreading (the reviewer misunderstood a definition or missed an existing appendix proof — fixable now, in the rebuttal) from a real gap (a step that genuinely needs to be written — fixable only in the revision).
- Keep every word anonymous: no institution, no funder, no real system name, no "our earlier work" phrased in the first person.
Turn 1 — the 48-hour rebuttal
Short and correctness-focused. The rebuttal exists to clarify misunderstandings and factual errors via pointers to the submitted paper — not to present new mathematics.
- Point to the exact definition, lemma, or appendix proof the reviewer overlooked ("the proof the reviewer requests is already in Appendix B, Lemma 7").
- Concede a genuine error plainly and state whether it is fixable in a revision.
- Do not paste a new proof the reviewers cannot verify in 48 hours; promising an unwritten proof does not move a theory review — it flags the gap.
Turn 2 — the revision cover letter (the distinctive PODS move)
A revision (minor or major) is a genuine shepherded second round. The cover letter is a change ledger: for every required item, either make the change and show exactly where, or explain precisely why it is unnecessary — and satisfy the shepherd.
[R1.1] Required: "the complexity bound in Thm 3 is not justified"
-> Action: DONE | added the full accounting in §4.2 and the deferred steps in Appendix B
-> Where: §4.2 (para 2), Appendix B (Lemma 7, revised)
[R1.2] Required: "state the assumption the lower bound rests on"
-> Action: DONE | Thm 4 now labeled as conditional on OMv; stated at point of use (§5)
[R2.1] Suggested: "extend the dichotomy to self-joins"
-> Action: DECLINED (with reason) | self-joins need a different reduction; out of scope for the
revision window, now stated as an explicit open problem (§7) rather than impliedThe rule that turns a revision into an acceptance: address every required item. An item neither done nor explicitly and defensibly declined is what the shepherd's read punishes.

Reviewer pushback patterns
| Pushback | What it signals | PODS-ready response |
|---|---|---|
| "The proof of Thm X has a gap" | Correctness doubt | Fix the step in the revision and show it; if it is a misreading, point to the existing proof in the rebuttal |
| "The lower bound does not match the upper bound" | Optimality unproven | Close the gap, or scope the optimality claim to the model actually proved |
| "This assumption is hidden/unstated" | Rigor gap | Label the conditional result at its point of use; state the assumption explicitly |
| "The model trivializes the result" | Modeling objection | Defend the model as realistic, or adjust it and re-derive; do not ignore |
| "Overlaps prior result Y" | Novelty/delta doubt | Sharpen the theorem-level delta; add the missing comparison of results |
Anonymity in the response (easy to slip)
- Refer to your own prior work in the third person, as in the paper.
- Describe revisions without linking to an identifying arXiv preprint or homepage; reference the in-PDF appendix location instead.
- Do not thank a named collaborator, advisor, or funder inside the rebuttal or cover letter.
Calibration
- Respond to the criterion the reviewer raised (correctness, tightness, modeling, novelty), not the one you would rather defend.
- Length and format norms for both turns vary by cycle; confirm the current instructions before sending.
- The shepherd decides the revised paper; make the paper, not the letter, carry the corrected mathematics.
