Covers triage against the first-round gate, one-page layout economy, presenting new numbers compactly, and tone for an exchange that becomes public on acceptance.

# CoRL Author Response CoRL's rebuttal is a **one-page PDF**, not a text box — a format that rewards preparation and layout discipline over volume. In the 2026 cycle it was due August 11, 11:59 PM AoE, with reviewer–AC discussion following August 12–19 (corl.org rebuttal instructions, read 2026-07-08). The window between reviews arriving and the deadline is measured in days; the winning move is to have experiments and a compiled skeleton ready before reviews exist (see `corl-workflow`). ## First: confirm the rebuttal is live CoRL 2026 applied a first-round rejection rule — no weak-accept-or-above score from any reviewer or the AC makes the paper a candidate for rejection without rebuttal. So the opening triage is not "what do I answer?" but "who is my advocate?": identify the most positive scorer, protect their reasons for optimism, and target the specific objections that keep others below threshold. ## The one-page economy A page holds roughly 700–900 words in the template's footprint, less once you add a results table. Spend it by expected score movement: | Budget slice | Content | Why it earns its space | |---|---|---| | ~15% | Header: thanks (one line) + a 2–3 line summary of w

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill corl-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.
