What it does

Popl Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting a POPL author response during the optional multi-day window — triaging soundness objections against misread definitions, answering "what does Theorem 3 actually assume" questions with pointers rather than new material, staying concise per the CFP, and protecting the path to conditional acceptance.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 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 POPL author response during the optional multi-day window — triaging soundness objections against misread definitions
  • Answering what does Theorem 3 actually assume questions with pointers rather than new material
  • Staying concise per the CFP
  • Protecting the path to conditional acceptance

Example prompts

  • “what does Theorem 3 actually assume”
  • “/popl-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

Popl Author Response loads about 958 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 358 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~958

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.

Use when drafting a POPL author response during the optional multi-day window — triaging soundness objections against misread definitions, answering "what does Theorem 3 actually assume" questions with pointers rather than new material, staying concise per the CFP, and protecting the path to conditional acceptance.

POPL Author Response

The POPL 2027 call describes the response phase plainly: authors get a multi-day period, responding is optional, and a response "must be concise, addressing specific points raised in the reviews" (read 2026-07-08; exact window dates were not rendered — 待核实 in resources/official-source-map.md). At POPL the response is usually the last input before the committee decides between reject and conditional acceptance, so its job is to remove doubts, not to renegotiate the paper.

What POPL reviewers actually dispute

Theory reviews rarely say "weak baselines." They say a definition does not mean what you think, a side condition is missing, a theorem is unsurprising given prior work, or the metatheory-to-motivation gap is too wide. Sort every review point into one of four bins before writing a word:

BinExample objectionResponse move
Soundness doubt"Lemma 4.2 seems to fail for open terms"Quote the exact hypothesis that excludes the case; cite the proof line or mechanization file
Misread formalism"Your typing rule allows unrestricted duplication"Point to the definition as written; concede unclear notation and promise a one-line clarification
Significance"This follows from [X] by standard techniques"Name the specific step that fails under [X]'s assumptions — technical daylight, not adjectives
Presentation"Section 5 is unreadable"Accept, state the concrete restructuring you will do in the conditional-acceptance revision

Soundness doubts come first and get the most space. One unresolved "the proof may be broken" outweighs every fixed typo.

Rules of engagement

  • Answer the question asked, at the location asked. "See Section 3" without a page, definition number, or lemma name reads as evasion.
  • No new theorems, no new mechanization claims. If a reviewer's counterexample exposes a real gap, say what the repaired statement is and where the fix lands — the conditional-acceptance revision exists exactly for that.
  • Never hint at who you are; full double-blind holds through this phase, and identities unblind only after conditional-acceptance decisions.
  • Concede fast and precisely. "R2 is right that Definition 6 omits the well-formedness premise; the proofs already assume it (see App. C.1), and we will state it" is a strong sentence, not a weak one.

A skeleton that fits a concise budget

text
Thank you — responses keyed to review points.

[R1, soundness of Thm 3] The counterexample uses an open term; Thm 3's hypothesis
"Γ ⊢ e : τ with Γ closed" excludes it (Def. 5, p.9). The mechanization checks the
closed case only, as stated in §7. No change needed; we will flag the hypothesis
in the theorem statement.

[R2 + R3, relation to <prior system>] <Prior> requires structural weakening
(their Lemma 2); our substructural setting has no weakening, which is where their
proof method stops. §2 example 2 will make this explicit.

[R3, presentation of §5] Agreed. We will move the auxiliary judgments to the
appendix and open §5 with the main invariant.
