What it does
Tacas Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when drafting a TACAS (ETAPS) author response for the rebuttal window, covering the short single-round rebuttal, answering soundness and benchmark-fairness objections with checkable evidence, addressing artifact concerns for tool papers, respecting the per-category blind model when it applies, and reading which objections a rebuttal can and cannot move.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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, covering Peer review. 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.

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
Tacas Author Response loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 95 tokens; SKILL.md has 518 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.

- tacas-author-response
- description
- Use when drafting a TACAS (ETAPS) author response for the rebuttal window, covering the short single-round rebuttal, answering soundness and benchmark-fairness objections with checkable evidence, addressing artifact concerns for tool papers, respecting the per-category blind model when it applies, and reading which objections a rebuttal can and cannot move.
TACAS Author Response
Use this after TACAS reviews are released in the rebuttal window. TACAS has one speaking turn: a short, targeted author response before the PC finalizes decisions — not a journal-style revise-and-resubmit. The job is to correct misreadings and supply the one or two checkable facts that move a borderline paper, not to rewrite the paper.
Triage
- Answer what affects the decision: soundness of the algorithm, fairness and reproducibility of the evaluation, artifact function (for tool papers), correctness of a proof step, and genuine misreadings.
- Use evidence that already exists in the submitted paper or artifact, or a number you can state now — never a vague promise of future work.
- Correct factual misreadings first; a reviewer who misread a theorem or a benchmark table is often persuadable.
- Respect anonymity where it applies: for a double-blind research paper the rebuttal must not reveal authors, institutions, tool identity, or a repository owner; for a single-blind tool / case-study paper this constraint does not apply.
The rebuttal shape
Short and decision-focused. One or two decision-critical points per reviewer beats an exhaustive reply. Concede what is true, correct what is misread, and point to exactly where the answer lives in the submitted paper or artifact. Do not paste large new results the reviewers cannot verify in the window.
[R1.1] Reviewer concern (quoted briefly)
-> Response: the soundness objection assumes X; Theorem 1 handles it via Y (see §3.2)
-> Evidence: already in the submitted proof / artifact script reproduce/rq1.sh
[R2.1] Reviewer concern
-> Response: the baseline was configured with an equal 900s timeout on the same machine
(§4.1); the per-category table shows the comparison is fair, not cherry-picked
[R3.1] Reviewer concern (artifact)
-> Response: the artifact builds offline on the VM; the smoke run is `smoke.sh`; we will
clarify the one missing dependency note in the READMEReviewer pushback patterns
| Pushback | What it signals | TACAS-ready response |
|---|---|---|
| "Is this actually sound?" | Correctness doubt | Point to the theorem/argument; note any validation (witness/cross-tool) already done |
| "The baseline is not fair / not the latest" | Comparison doubt | State the version, timeout, and hardware; if truly unfair, concede and scope the claim |
| "Results are not reproducible" | Verifiability gap | Point to the artifact scripts and the clean-VM smoke run; fix a doc gap you can name |
| "The artifact did not build" (tool paper) | Mandatory-artifact failure | Identify the concrete cause; if fixable in the window per the rules, say exactly how |
| "Overlaps prior tool/algorithm X" | Novelty doubt | Sharpen the one-sentence delta; name the capability/guarantee X lacks |
| "Only one benchmark family" | External-validity limit | Point to other categories evaluated, or scope the claim and name the limit |

What a rebuttal can and cannot move
- Can move: a misread proof, a baseline the reviewer thought was untuned but was not, a "not reproducible" that a pointer to the right script resolves, a novelty doubt a crisp delta answers.
- Cannot move: a genuinely broken artifact for a tool paper, an unsound core, an evaluation that really is cherry-picked. Do not argue taste; the PC discussion decides, and your response is evidence for an advocate, not a closing argument.
Anonymity check (research papers only)
- Refer to your own prior work in the third person, as in the paper.
- Do not name your tool's identifying name, institution, grant, or a private repository in the response.
- For a single-blind tool/case-study paper, none of this applies — answer plainly.
Calibration
- The rebuttal is short and single-round; do not treat it as a revision.
- Length and format norms vary by cycle; confirm the current ETAPS instructions before sending.
- Answer the criterion the reviewer actually raised (soundness vs fairness vs artifact), not the one you would rather defend.
