# CSCW Author Response There is no rebuttal box at CSCW. The venue's response instrument is the **revision plus response letter** of a journal: you get weeks or months, you may change anything in the manuscript, and the people reading the result are the reviewers who wrote the critiques. That combination — real time, real changes, remembered context — makes the response letter the highest-leverage document of the whole pipeline. ## Triage: sort requests before touching the manuscript Extract every distinct request from every review into a ledger, then classify: | Class | Definition | Response posture | | --- | --- | --- | | Do | Legitimate, feasible in the window | Do it fully; show where | | Do differently | Legitimate concern, wrong prescription | Fix the underlying concern; explain the substitution explicitly | | Decline | Would harm the paper or exceed the study's license | Decline *once, with reasons* — never silently | | Cannot | Requires data/access that no longer exists | Say so plainly; offer the honest partial (new limitation text, added analysis of existing data) | Two CSCW-specific triage realities: - **Cross-tradition requests are common.** A quantitative reviewer may

What does the cscw-author-response skill do?
Use when a CSCW paper draws Revise and Resubmit or Revise for External Review — triaging reviewer requests, running the weeks-long revision as a project, and writing the point-by-point response letter that the same reviewers will read before they reread anything else.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill cscw-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.
