# AISTATS Author Response Use this after AISTATS reviews are released.

Do not reveal institution, authorship, grants, private URLs, or repository ownership. - Treat discussion as clarification, not revision. Do not depend on uploading a revised paper or new supplement unless current instructions explicitly allow it. - If current rules prohibit links, do not use URLs in the discussion. AISTATS 2026 author-reviewer discussion was text-only and links were not allowed. - Correct factual errors first, then address requests for missing comparisons, uncertainty estimates, proofs, or hyperparameters. ## Drafting pattern 1.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill aistats-author-response --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 909 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
