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.
