What it does
Wacv Author Response is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when responding to WACV reviews, covering the optional one-page Round 1 rebuttal and, separately, the Revise-and-Resubmit change summary that carries a revised paper into the no-rebuttal Round 2, including how to triage three reviews for the area chair, what a rebuttal can and cannot claim, and keeping every response double-blind.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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
Wacv Author Response loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 89 tokens; SKILL.md has 478 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.

WACV Author Response
WACV gives you two different response instruments, and confusing them wastes the one that matters. Use this after Round 1 reviews arrive. Facts are the WACV 2026/2027 cycles as read on 2026-07-09; reopen the current Author Guidelines for the rebuttal template and rules before drafting.
Know which instrument you are writing
| Situation | Instrument | Constraint |
|---|---|---|
| R1 reviews arrived, decision not yet set | One-page rebuttal (optional) | Single-page PDF, author-kit template, no external links, no new unrequested contributions |
| R1 decision = Revise and Resubmit | Revised paper + change summary | The revision is the argument; there is no R2 rebuttal |
| New Round 2 submission | (none) | Round 2 has no author-response step |
The strategic point: at WACV the change summary that accompanies a Revise-and-Resubmit carries more weight than any rebuttal, because Round 2 has no rebuttal to fall back on. If you must choose where to spend effort, spend it on executing and documenting the revision.
The one-page Round 1 rebuttal
Treat it as a single skimmable page written for the area chair, who must reconcile three reviews. Order it by decision impact, not by reviewer number:
- Factual corrections first. If a reviewer's objection rests on a misread ("no ablation of component X" when Table 3 is exactly that), correct it in one line with the pointer. Factual kills move a recommendation fastest.
- The single biggest shared concern next, answered with a mini-result the page can hold — one small table or one number, not a promise.
- Calibrated concessions. Concede what is true and scope the claim; a rebuttal that disputes everything reads as defensive to the AC.
A rebuttal cannot add a new contribution, link to external material, or exceed the page. It can correct errors, clarify scope, and present a small confirmatory result that already exists.
[AC summary line] The core objection (R2/R3): "X under condition C" — addressed in point 1.
1. FACTUAL: R2 says no matched-baseline comparison. See Tab. 3 (same budget). Not missing.
2. CORE: R1/R3 doubt robustness under C. New small table: metric held within m over 3 seeds.
3. CONCEDE: R3 is right that claim was too broad; we scope it to setting S (one sentence).Show full SKILL.md (182 more words)Show less
The Revise-and-Resubmit change summary
This is where WACV papers are actually won. Read the R1 reviews as a revision specification, then:
- Enumerate each reviewer-requested change and map it to a concrete edit (new experiment, rewritten claim, added baseline, clarified assumption).
- Make exactly those changes in the paper, and keep the artifact and supplement in sync
with the revised claims (see
wacv-artifact-evaluation,wacv-supplementary). - Write a short, itemized summary of what changed and where, in the reviewers' own terms, so the Round 2 reviewers can verify the gap is closed without re-deriving it.
Anonymity holds throughout
Both instruments are double-blind. Do not de-anonymize in the rebuttal or the change summary, do not link to author-identifying pages, and do not name your institution or prior work in first person. A response that leaks identity can undo the review it was meant to win.
Reverify each cycle
- The Round 1 rebuttal length and template, and that Round 2 still has no rebuttal.
- Whether a structured change summary / response field is required for revised R2 papers.
- Any word or format limit and the no-external-links rule.
