What rebuttal-writing does

The skill takes a file of reviewer comments and splits it into individual concerns, questions and suggestions. Each one gets a category — major concern, minor concern, question, suggestion — plus a note on the core issue behind the wording.

Then it drafts a reply for every point: acknowledge the reviewer, cite the specific sections, equations, tables or experiments that answer the concern, and phrase everything as work already done rather than work promised. Where new experiments are needed, the response describes their results concretely. The output follows a standard format with a section per reviewer and a short summary of changes at the top.

Run it once the reviews are in. Input is the comments file, and you can attach the current draft so the replies point at real sections. Response templates and the format live in ~/.claude/skills/rebuttal-writing/references/rebuttal-prompts.md.

What it helps with

  • split reviewer feedback into individual concerns
  • draft an evidence-backed reply to each concern
  • describe new experiments as already completed
  • assemble replies into one document grouped by reviewer
  • add a summary of changes at the top

Example prompts for the agent

  • parse the reviewer comments in reviews.txt and write a point-by-point response
  • draft a rebuttal to reviews.txt, citing sections and tables from the paper
  • build the reviewer response from reviews.txt with a summary of changes up front
