SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you transform external reviewer feedback into a grounded, venue-compliant rebuttal that addresses every concern safely without inventing new evidence or overcommitting.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Review parsing and issue atomization: Converts raw reviews into an ISSUE_BOARD with atomic concerns, severity, stance, and response-mode guidance.
  • Strategy planning with guardrails: Builds a STRATEGY_PLAN that assigns global themes, evidence needs, reviewer priorities, and character/word budgeting by venue mode.
  • Text-only rebuttal drafting with safety gates: Drafts single-document or per-reviewer-thread responses while enforcing provenance, commitments, and full coverage.
  • Optional stress-testing via Codex MCP: Runs structured checks to catch unsupported statements, unsafe promises, tone issues, and missing coverage.
  • Follow-up round management: Appends new reviews to a follow-up log and generates delta replies while updating the revision checklist.

Quick Start

Use the rebuttal skill to reply to reviewers from your paper and raw review bundle: run /rebuttal "paper/" — venue: ICML, character limit: 5000.

How do I manage follow-up rounds when new reviews are posted on OpenReview?

Manage follow-up rounds by appending new reviews to a follow-up log. The system generates delta replies addressing new concerns while updating the revision checklist to track outstanding issues.

What is the best way to ensure my peer review rebuttal covers every reviewer concern?

Ensure full argument coverage by converting raw reviews into an issue board with atomic concerns and severity levels. Strategy planning assigns global themes and evidence needs to guarantee no reviewer issue is missed.

Does the rebuttal drafting process enforce character and word limits for conference submissions?

Yes, strategy planning includes explicit character and word budgeting by venue mode. You must provide venue rules and limits before drafting to ensure the generated rebuttal text complies with submission constraints.

How do I stress-test my reviewer rebuttal for unsupported statements before submitting?

Stress-test your rebuttal using structured checks to catch unsupported statements, unsafe promises, tone issues, and missing coverage. This validates that all commitments and provenance mappings are safe before final submission.
