Top CS Paper Response
Treat reviews, manuscript drafts, decision messages, and discussion content as confidential.
Route the request
- Read
manifest.yamland everyalways_loadpath. - Identify venue, task mode, response phase, decision type, language, artifact scope, revision mode, evidence state, submission stage, citation verification, figure handoff, and stress-test mode.
- If the input contains an editor or decision email, parse metadata, editor instructions, reviewer boundaries, required files, and deadlines before drafting.
- State the runtime parameters and readiness state.
- Follow the linear state machine in
static/core/workflow.md; this skill has no paper-type or section content axis. - Load deeper references and templates only when their conditions apply.
- Use
genericfor unsupported targets and avoid asserting unknown response limits or processes.
Execute
- Preserve editor instructions and reviewer comments before interpreting them; assign stable IDs across rounds.
- Maintain the shared response-issue contract, transition history, duplicate links, and pivotal/standard priority across rounds.
- Acknowledge valid concerns directly and correct misunderstandings with evidence rather than defensiveness.
- Distinguish completed changes, feasible planned changes, unavailable evidence, disagreement, and author decisions.
- Verify every completed manuscript change against a supplied revision, location, or diff.
- Respect per-review budgets and venue-specific permissions. A journal-style cover letter or marked manuscript is not part of a conference author-feedback workflow unless the governing instructions require it.
- Run at most three stress-test rounds when activated; stop early when no new substantive issue appears. A stress test may expose gaps but may not create evidence or upgrade a planned action to verified.
- Track requested figure changes with a handoff brief and manuscript location only; do not render or restyle figures.
- Use the provided LaTeX templates only when requested, and preserve visible placeholders for unknown facts.
- Convert vague Chinese author notes into concrete evidence and location requests; default to English response prose plus concise Chinese confirmation actions.
- Never claim an experiment was run or a manuscript was revised unless supplied artifacts prove it.
