What it does
Socc Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting an ACM SoCC author response (rebuttal) during a round's response window, covering the single written turn, answering both the systems and the data/measurement reviewer, supplying the tail-latency and cost numbers reviewers ask for, staying within dual anonymity, and the fact that SoCC has no Major-Revision round to fall back on.
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 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
- Drafting an ACM SoCC author response (rebuttal) during a rounds response window
- Covering the single written turn
- Answering both the systems and the data/measurement reviewer
- Supplying the tail-latency and cost numbers reviewers ask for
Example prompts
- “/socc-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
Socc Author Response loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 532 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.

- description
- Use when drafting an ACM SoCC author response (rebuttal) during a round's response window, covering the single written turn, answering both the systems and the data/measurement reviewer, supplying the tail-latency and cost numbers reviewers ask for, staying within dual anonymity, and the fact that SoCC has no Major-Revision round to fall back on.
SoCC Author Response
Use this after SoCC reviews are released, during the round's author-response (rebuttal) window (SoCC 2026 Round 2: 10-12 Sep 2026). SoCC gives you one written turn, not a journal-style revise-and-resubmit — there is no Major Revision to repair the paper in, so the rebuttal must do all the persuading before the PC discussion decides. Because the reviewer pool is drawn from both SIGMOD and SIGOPS, a winning rebuttal answers the systems reviewer and the data/measurement reviewer, not one at the expense of the other.
Triage
- Answer what affects the decision: significance of the cloud contribution, soundness of the mechanism, realism of the deployment or trace, and the measurement quality — especially tail latency and cost, the numbers reviewers most often say are missing.
- Prioritize by impact-times-fixability: a factual misreading you can correct, or a number you can supply from existing logs, moves more than a philosophical disagreement.
- Correct factual misreadings first; a reviewer who misread a table or a workload is often persuadable.
- Keep every word within dual anonymity: do not reveal your cluster, company, provider, trace provenance, or system's real name to strengthen a point.
Structure the single turn
Short and decision-focused. Map each reviewer to the axis they raised:
[R1 - systems] "Evaluated in simulation only?"
-> We report the 200-node testbed run in Table 2 (already in the paper, §5.2); rebuttal
clarifies it is a real deployment, not a simulator.
[R2 - measurement] "Tail latency not reported."
-> p99 attainment is in Fig. 3; we add the p99.9 breakdown from existing logs and will
include it in the final version.
[R3 - cost] "Cost claim unsupported."
-> Provisioned instance-seconds vs. the CPU baseline are in Table 2; we clarify the pricing
model used and the saving it implies.Answer the reviewer on the axis they actually raised. Do not spend the systems reviewer's attention defending a measurement point they did not make.
Reviewer pushback patterns
| Pushback | What it signals | SoCC-ready response |
|---|---|---|
| "Simulation only / not a real system" | Systems realism doubt | Point to the testbed/deployment result, or scope the claim honestly |
| "Only average latency reported" | Missing the cloud outcome | Supply p95/p99 from existing logs; do not promise unrun experiments as fact |
| "Baseline is not tuned/fair" | Soundness of the comparison | Report the tuned-baseline number with an equal, documented budget |
| "Workload/trace is unrepresentative" | Measurement validity (data reviewer) | Justify the trace's provenance and scope; bound the external-validity limit |
| "Cost/economic claim hand-waved" | The adoption outcome is unproven | Give the cost breakdown and the pricing model behind it |
| "Overlaps prior cloud work X" | Novelty/delta doubt | Sharpen the one-sentence delta against the nearest SoCC/OSDI/NSDI work |

What a SoCC rebuttal may and may not do
- May: cite numbers already in the paper the reviewer overlooked; report an analysis of existing logs (a tail percentile, a cost breakdown) that needs no new run; correct a misreading; commit to a concrete, bounded final-version change.
- May not: present major new experiments as if already done; reveal identity to make a point; argue taste; over-promise a revision that SoCC's accept/reject process has no round to verify.
Anonymity in the rebuttal (easy to slip)
- Refer to your own prior work in the third person, as in the paper.
- Describe artifact or trace changes without linking to an identity-revealing repository or naming the source deployment.
- Do not thank a named collaborator, funder, or provider inside the response.
Calibration
- Respond to the criterion the reviewer actually raised, not the one you would rather defend.
- Length and format of the response vary by cycle; confirm the current instructions and the character/word limit before sending.
- The PC discussion decides; the rebuttal is evidence for an advocate. Remember there is no fallback revision round — this turn is the paper's last word before the verdict.
