What it does

Siggraph Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when writing the SIGGRAPH / SIGGRAPH Asia Technical Papers rebuttal, the single 1000-word text-only author response uploaded during the rebuttal window to correct factual errors and answer specific reviewer questions before the Technical Papers Committee meeting, and when planning the change list for a conditionally accepted paper's second-stage revision.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k 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 Research & Science. 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

  • When planning the change list for a conditionally accepted papers second-stage revision

Example prompts

Workflow steps

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

  1. Separate factual errors from judgments. "The method cannot handle X" when your Section 4
  2. Find the pivotal reviewer. With a small committee and a single score scale (Strong
  3. Cluster shared concerns. If two reviewers doubt the same comparison, answer it once, well,
  4. Concede cheaply, defend precisely. Acknowledge real limitations in one clause and move on;

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

Siggraph Author Response loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 659 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k

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 the SIGGRAPH / SIGGRAPH Asia Technical Papers rebuttal, the single 1000-word text-only author response uploaded during the rebuttal window to correct factual errors and answer specific reviewer questions before the Technical Papers Committee meeting, and when planning the change list for a conditionally accepted paper's second-stage revision.

SIGGRAPH Author Response

SIGGRAPH gives you exactly one written turn before the decision — the rebuttal — and, if the paper is conditionally accepted, a second-stage revision handled through the camera-ready. These are different instruments; do not treat the rebuttal like a journal response letter. Facts below were read from the SIGGRAPH 2026 reviewer-instructions/ethics page on 2026-07-09 (resources/official-source-map.md); reconfirm the length and window on the live call.

The rebuttal: a hard 1000-word, text-only turn

  • Length: up to 1000 words of text only — no images, no video, no URLs to external pages. Everything you say must be self-contained in prose. (SIGGRAPH 2026 window: 5-12 March 2026; upload before 22:00 UTC/GMT on the close date.)
  • Timing: you see the complete set of reviews when the window opens; the rebuttal is read by the referees and factored into the Technical Papers Committee discussion that produces the decision.
  • Purpose (narrow): correct factual errors in the reviews and answer specific questions. It is not a channel for new results, revised text, or a redesigned evaluation that does not directly answer a reviewer's question. Promising a new experiment rarely moves a score; correcting a reviewer's factual misreading can.

Triage the reviews before writing a word

  1. Separate factual errors from judgments. "The method cannot handle X" when your Section 4 shows X is a factual error you can flip; "the contribution is incremental" is a judgment you can only reframe. Spend words where they change a number.
  2. Find the pivotal reviewer. With a small committee and a single score scale (Strong Reject ... Strong Accept), the borderline reviewer whose vote decides the paper is your audience. Answer the objection that is actually holding the score down, not the easiest one.
  3. Cluster shared concerns. If two reviewers doubt the same comparison, answer it once, well, and cross-reference — you cannot afford to repeat yourself inside 1000 words.
  4. Concede cheaply, defend precisely. Acknowledge real limitations in one clause and move on; spend the saved words on the one or two objections that decide acceptance.

What actually persuades a graphics committee

  • Point to evidence already in the submission. "Fig. 7 (row 3) and the supplemental video at 0:45 already show the failure case the reviewer asks for" beats "we will add this." You cannot attach new media, but you can direct referees to what you submitted.
  • Quantify a correction. If a reviewer misread a timing, state the correct number and where it appears. Numbers close factual gaps that adjectives cannot.
  • Name the comparison honestly. If a reviewer wants a baseline you did not run, say whether it is applicable, what it would likely show, and why your existing comparisons already bound the claim — do not bluff a result.
  • Protect the results video. Many graphics rejections turn on artifacts a reviewer saw in motion. If the criticism is about a visual artifact, address the specific shot and timestamp; if it is a genuine limitation, say so and scope the claim.

Draft structure (fits 1000 words)

text
[Opening 1-2 sentences] Thank reviewers; state the 2-3 decisions your response will address.
[R-common] The shared concern (e.g., missing comparison / validation), answered once with evidence.
[R1 / R2 / R3 specific] Only the factual errors and specific questions that affect the score.
[Limitations] One honest paragraph: what you concede and how you will scope claims in revision.
[Close] One sentence on the concrete change the camera-ready will make if conditionally accepted.

The second stage: conditional acceptance is a revision, not a formality

If the committee conditionally accepts the paper, a Technical Papers Committee member verifies the final version in a second reviewing process — required changes must actually be made. Treat the conditions as a checklist:

  • Map each required change to a specific edit, figure, or added result and track it.
  • Deliver every promised revision; the second-stage reviewer can withhold final acceptance if conditions are unmet.
  • Keep the supplemental video and code in sync with the revised claims — a fixed artifact must be re-rendered, not just described.

See siggraph-camera-ready for the mechanics of the conditionally-accepted final version.

Anti-patterns

  • Spending words re-explaining the method instead of answering the objection.
  • Promising experiments you cannot run, or implying media you cannot attach.
  • Arguing with a judgment ("this is novel") rather than supplying the missing fact.
  • Ignoring the pivotal reviewer to score easy points off a lenient one.
  • Exceeding 1000 words or embedding a link/figure — mechanically stripped or penalized.

Output format

text
[Rebuttal plan] pivotal reviewer + the 2-3 decisions to address
[Factual corrections] <review claim -> correct fact -> where it already appears>
[Concessions] <limitation conceded -> how claims will be scoped>
[Word budget] running count against 1000, text-only confirmed
[If conditionally accepted] <required change -> planned edit -> owner>
