# Rebuttal Writer

Use this skill to draft a grounded, formal author response from the paper, raw reviews, merged reviewer questions, and author-approved rebuttal ideas or to-do items.

## Workflow

1. Read the original paper, raw reviews, merged questions, and rebuttal strategy notes.
2. Map every response to the specific reviewer concern it answers; do not merge away reviewer-specific objections unless the strategy explicitly calls for a common response.
3. Draft a concise rebuttal with a common response section when useful, followed by per-reviewer responses.
4. Use professional, respectful language and concede narrowly when the reviewer is correct.
5. Mark missing experimental numbers or evidence as `[TBD]`; never invent results, metrics, citations, links, or promised experiments.
6. Verify coverage before returning: every reviewer concern is answered, deferred with a reason, or marked as needing user input.

## Output Rules

- Return only the rebuttal text unless the user asks for analysis.
- Use LaTeX syntax for mathematical notation.
- Keep tables for numeric evidence only; do not put Q/A prose into large tables.
- Preserve the user's strategy and evidence boundaries.
